Jiajing breathed a sigh of relief. In the past, whether Xiao Feng went to Mongolia as an envoy or to fight Japanese pirates, even if he went to Miao territory, he was still within the control of the Ming Dynasty's military force.
But beyond Liaoxi Road, it is really too far. It is a land of ice and snow, desolate and deserted. Although it is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, in fact it has no jurisdiction at all.
Further to the northeast of Liaoxi Road is the edge of Heilongjiang. The severe cold in Siberia has created a non-absolute no man's land, and only people who hunt in summer and autumn can go there.
There are very few aboriginal people there, and the ethnic groups are also very mixed. There are Jurchens, Koreans, and Rakshasa people. They all had to go there to survive in the wilderness for various reasons.
Because the land is vast and sparsely populated, it is usually quite peaceful. But when the summer and autumn hunting seasons come, the indigenous people will try their best to hide and keep a low profile and not come into contact with the hunting teams.
Those private hunting teams also divided their areas in a tacit understanding. After all, they were here to hunt, not to fight.
But this year the hunting team went crazy. They hunted all the wild beasts they could find without any regard for their previous territories and areas.
Moreover, the size of this year's hunting team is several times larger than every year, and the weapons are more sophisticated. They are not a hunting team organized by civilians, but an army!
Because of the shortage of food, the Mongols, Jurchens, and Rakshasa people simultaneously thought of this way to get food for free, and they all sent regular troops to hunt!
Firstly, these armies have tasks hanging over their heads, and the consequences of failing to fulfill orders will be serious; secondly, they are hostile to each other and often plunder each other. After they met, they were extremely jealous and started fighting immediately.
Moreover, they discovered that the other party's hunting team had gained a lot. It was much faster to kill the other party and turn the other party's prey into their own than to hunt wild boars in the dense forest!
This is a war without rules, this is a group of soldiers without restraint, this is a land of bloody fighting. Jiajing would never agree to Xiao Feng running there in person.
Xiao Feng has no intention of going. He is very self-aware of his military talent. Although it is not bad, it is definitely not up to the level of a famous general.
The previous battles were pretty good, with either Qi Jiguang or Yu Dayou around. I mainly designed some traps to get the enemy's mentality, or used more advanced equipment to bully the opponent.
What's more, this battle is far away and poses little threat to the Ming Dynasty. He only needs to go out of Shanhaiguan, negotiate interests with the Mongols and Jurchens, deploy remotely, and provide backup support.
After hearing Xiao Feng's thoughts, Jiajing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's very good. But even so, your time here is not short.
There are still a lot of complicated things going on here in the capital, so you'd better come back as soon as possible. I have gained some experience in cultivating Taoism. Without you, my chat with Master Tao was not very enjoyable. "
Xiao Feng smiled, it was a matter of language style. Tao Zhongwen is cunning and cautious, and his conversations are cloudy, not as direct as himself.
The main reason is that he has the aura of being an overseas student in the fairy world. Even if he says something wrong, he can just push it to the fairy world and Jiajing will recognize it.
Tao Zhongwen is not a turtle, so he naturally has the self-consciousness of a country turtle and is very careful in what he says.
"Senior brother, don't worry. I will go back soon after I have taken care of the matter. I can't bear to leave you, senior brother."
Jiajing nodded happily, completely unaware that the image in Xiao Feng's mind at this time was of a fair, tender and chubby figure, and that was the person he couldn't bear to leave.
"Junior brother, it's been a long time since you've given me a calligraphy test. You're going on a long trip, so give me a test."
Xiao Feng smiled: "Senior brother, please give me the words."
Jiajing picked up his pen and wrote the word "Peng" (the traditional Chinese character for Peng): "You are going on a long journey, so naturally I wish you a safe journey and a safe return.
Well, as for what to ask, I have already asked about the matter of cultivating Taoism. Just ask me if my life was comfortable before I succeeded in cultivating Taoism. "
This question is relatively broad, but it is indeed what Jiajing wants to ask at this time.
Xiao Feng had tested his handwriting before and said that as long as the Ming Dynasty prospered, there would be no problem in cultivating Taoism and ascending to the throne!
Now the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty is booming. Although the Yan Party has fallen, the cabinet headed by Xu Jie is very capable and can be regarded as a leader in politics and people.
Regardless of Xu Jie's attitude during the dispute stage regarding the various ideas and policies of his junior brother, as long as he made the decision, the final implementation work will indeed be very effective.
Therefore, Jiajing felt that it was only a matter of time before he attained enlightenment and ascended. In that case, shouldn't his biggest concern be whether he lived happily or not before his ascension?
Xiao Feng picked up the word with a smile, his eyes jumped slightly, but he immediately controlled himself and spoke seriously.
"Senior brother, the word 'peng' is 'peng' on the left, 'peng' on the right, 'bird', and 'peng' means double 'moon'. The way 'moon' was written in ancient times was the same as 'meat'.
Therefore, to this day, almost everything that represents meat is next to the word "month". Such as liver, spleen, lungs, fetus, etc.
Therefore, the word "moon" should represent flesh and blood, and the double "moon" should represent two flesh and blood, meaning brothers and sisters.
The word "月" is broken like "eye", which means wide-open eyes, which means "the canthus of the eye is split". The eyes are separated from the canthus, which is the image of brothers turning against each other. "
Jiajing was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile: "I know, I think it's all about those two boys. They don't have a good relationship to begin with, so it's hard to force it.
When I first handed them over to you for discipline, I also hoped that you could make them restrain themselves. Looking at it now, it's much better than before. "
Xiao Feng nodded, but his expression was not relaxed. He hesitated again and again, but continued.
"As for the word 'bird', it's '白' on the top and '和' on the bottom. (Please note here that the traditional Chinese character for "Yu" has two characters: 'And' and 'And', which have different meanings.)
'White' is the head of 'Emperor', and there is no king under 'Emperor', which means that the throne has not yet been determined, and this incident is related to the throne.
The word '和' means bestowing, giving, and has the same meaning as the word 'Yu'.
As the saying goes, "If you don't take it, you will be blamed", and "If you want to take it, you must give it to it", this is the case. The whole thing is related to the granting of the throne. "
There was a long silence in the monastery, and the air seemed to be condensed.
Huang Jin felt like he was submerged in the condensed air. It was as difficult to take a breath of air as if he were underwater.
Huang Jin heard the thumping of three hearts, which was particularly harsh in the silence, and couldn't help but be very dissatisfied with his professionalism.
Long live beats because he cares about his son, Xiao Feng beats because he says it bluntly, what the hell are you jumping for? Doesn't this seem guilty?
What are you feeling guilty about? The more guilty you are, the more Banzai will think that you have thoughts on this matter. My conscience, do I dare to have thoughts on who should be the emperor?
Xiao Feng was also wondering in his heart whether he should say it or not.
If it were two years back, I would definitely not have said anything, just make up a nicer explanation and get it over with.
But people's hearts are made of flesh. We have been together for almost three years, and my senior brother treats me very well. I had lied to him about spiritual practice. If I lied to him about this kind of thing again, would I still be a human being?
It's not that the word "Tao" that Jiajing tested before can mean that Jiajing's Taoism is unsuccessful, but that word can't tell whether Jiajing's Taoism can be successful.
As for the Ming Dynasty's national destiny being helpful to Taoism, Xiao Feng didn't lie.
It’s just hard to tell how much this helps, whether it can help Jiajing ascend, or whether it can only prolong life, strengthen the body, nourish yin and strengthen yang.
At that time, he had just arrived, and his life was the first priority. Xiao Feng deceived Jiajing and got peace of mind. But three years have passed, and my feelings for my senior brother have become deeper and deeper.
So although this topic is very sensitive, Xiao Feng feels that he still has to tell his senior brother truthfully. Even if he has some distance from himself because of this, it is better than his senior brother being unprepared for the future.
After a long time, Jiajing nodded slightly, with a smile on his lips. Huang Jin believed that he saw relief in that smile.
"Junior brother, it's not in vain that you and I have been brothers for so long.
Even if others had the ability to see what I said today, they would not have the guts to say it to me. The courtiers didn't dare, the concubines didn't dare, Lu Bing didn't dare, and Huang Ban didn't dare.
Huang Ban, please tell your conscience, if you could read it, would you really tell me? "
Huang Jin was called out, but he didn't panic anymore. He bowed his back and replied with a smile.
“If I were to let the old slave speak according to his conscience, the old slave would not dare to speak directly.
But the old slave may use other methods to remind you in a roundabout way that long live the saint, long live the saint, and he will naturally understand. "
Jiajing laughed loudly, pointed at Huang Jin and said with a smile: "You old guy, oh, you reminded me in a roundabout way, I understand, you are my sage.
I don't understand, you did your best. Lu Bing's methods are probably not much different from yours. Oh, emperor, emperor.
When you become an emperor, you are alone. You have a queen, but no wife; you have a prince, but no brothers; you have a prince, but no son.
Over the years, Chang An is the only one who does not regard me as an emperor but as a father. The only person who really regards me as a brother is Xiao Feng.
Chang An has left me. Junior brother, you...can't leave me again, otherwise I will really become a loner. "
Jiajing's words showed his true feelings and could no longer be faked. Hearing this, Xiao Feng's eyes were wet and his heart felt warm. Huang Jin's heart also fluctuated slightly, like a deep valley and deep pool.
"I'm ashamed of myself. I've been with you since I was a child, but I can't do things with sincerity and sincerity. I'm ashamed of myself."
Jiajing smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "It doesn't have to be like this, I just expressed my feelings today, and I lost my composure.
You and Lu Bing are both right, and the ministers are even more right. My junior brother and I have a close relationship in the past life, and I am not as tolerant to him as I am to you.
I am the emperor, what can you do wrong by treating me like one? "
Huang Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself, you just need to understand. I believe that what you are saying at this moment is absolutely true, but this does not prevent you from getting suspicious one day and jumping up in your dream to give me a sword.
The true words to the emperor are like the true words to a man who has taken off his pants. Just listen to it. Do you really dare to believe what he says?
As if to summarize this word test, the little eunuch panted and ran to the door of the monastery and reported carefully.
"Eunuch Huang, um...Prince Yu and Prince Jing started fighting. This time the fight was more intense. I heard from Jin Yiwei that he almost beat Mr. Xiao's dog to death..."
Originally, the three of them were still listening with a wry smile, thinking that they had just finished the test and said that there was something wrong with these two boys, so the eye drops were put on immediately. When he heard the last sentence, Xiao Feng jumped up and ran away.
After Xiao Feng ran out of the gate of Xiyuan, the little eunuch came back to his senses: "Why is Mr. Xiao so excited? This, this is out of character!"
Huang Jin waved his hand with a straight face and drove away the young eunuch, then listened to Jiajing's dull words.
"We are about to go on a long journey. I originally wanted to chat for a while. He really cares about his family. Family is a small country, and the country is everyone. Well, he is indeed a man of the world."
Huang Jinpei smiled and said: "Xiao Feng must also want to chat with Wanzai for a while, but after all, Wangcai's life is in danger, so... the priorities are different."
Jiajing nodded: "I haven't been back to the palace for a long time. Let's go back and stay today. Well, Concubine Xuankang and Concubine Lu Jing are sleeping with me. I want to ask them how they usually discipline their sons!"
Huang Jin nodded in agreement and waited for Jiajing to get off. He thought that in this fight tonight, he didn't know who would win between the two princes. It seemed that the two noble concubines were going to compete.
Xiao Feng returned home and saw King Yu and King Jing fighting in a ball on the small playground. This is not an adjective, but a realistic one. The two really became "a ball".
King Yu used An Qingyue's usual grappling technique to twist King Jing's arm, while King Jing used Zhang Wuxin's ground technique to lock King Yu's neck with his legs.
No wonder the little eunuch said that the fight was particularly fierce this time. It turned out that both of them had learned a few kung fu moves in the World View, and they were somewhat organized. They were no longer the simple king's boxers in the past.
The two guards stood on both sides, neatly lined up in two rows, obviously very accustomed to such a scene. The guards who were familiar with each other were even saying hello.
"How's the food in your house lately? Do you still have enough meat?"
"It's okay, it's okay, there's enough meat to eat, but there's less beef. I heard that all the cattle bought from the mutual market during this period were sent to be used as cattle for farming. Beef is very expensive in the market!
what about you? I heard that your chef went to Zuixianlou for further study. Did he bring back any new dishes? "
"There is a new dish! Stir-fried sweet potato leaves, just in time! We grow them ourselves in our house!
Taoist priests who believe in the world say that it is useless to have too many leaves. You can eat them. Don’t let them grow bald, which will not affect the growth of sweet potatoes! "
"Is it delicious? We also grow sweet potatoes in our house, but no one told us that the leaves are edible! Even the chef doesn't know!"
"This is a new dish from Zuixianlou. How do you know if you chefs didn't learn it?
Our chef at Prince Yu's Mansion had worked in Zuixianlou for some time back then! You can go and learn at any time, it saves you a lot of face! "
Outside the playground, the female relatives of the mansion stood in a small group, watching the battlefield from a distance. Because there were guards around, it was not convenient for them to get closer.
Xiao Feng walked over. When the women saw that he was back, they all gathered around and talked in such a mess that Xiao Feng couldn't hear clearly.
"Qiao Niang, tell me, you all talk like fried beans, and I sound tired. Why are they fighting? How is Wangcai doing? Are you dead?"
The sound of frying beans stopped, and only Qiao Niang's gentle voice remained: "Master, it has nothing to do with Wangcai, they were fighting over the puppies.
The puppy can be weaned today. Qiaoqiao and Yunqing went to Master Liu's house to pick it up. After the two princes came in, they played with the puppy.
Later, the two of them fought to hold the puppy and refused to give in, so they started to quarrel, and they got into a fight during the quarrel. We didn't dare to intervene, and we haven't even had a chance to eat until now. "
Xiao Feng frowned and looked at the little puppy being held in Qiaoqiao's arms. He was a little smaller than when Wangcai first came home. His eyes were squinted and his whole body was shaking. It seemed that he was very frightened.
Although she looks cute, she's not so cute that she needs to fight for the right to hug her, right? so……
"When they were playing with the dog, when they were fighting to hold the dog, was the dog on the ground? Or was it held by someone?"
Zhang Yunqing glanced at Qiaoqiao secretly: "Liu Peng told Qiaoqiao that the puppy was afraid of catching cold and would have diarrhea, so he should not put it on the ground.
When not placed on hay, it is best to hold it. So Qiaoqiao has been holding her since she got home. "
Xiao Feng snorted, and he knew that these two bastards and drunkards had nothing to do with dogs!
Because whoever gets the right to hug the dog, Qiaoqiao will follow him. This is the truth about fighting for the right to hug the dog. She is basically a mother who is greedy for children!
Thinking of the problem of his mother who is greedy for children, Xiao Feng couldn't help but glance at Qiao Niang. Qiao Niang was looking at Qiao Qiao with a slightly sad look on her face. She was obviously thinking of something, so Xiao Feng quickly looked away.
Xiao Feng angrily walked towards the two little pigs who were trying to grab his own cabbage. The guards on both sides quickly took a step back and looked at the two princes on the ground with gloating.
Because of their restricted postures, King Yu and King Jing didn't see Xiao Feng coming over, and they were still competing and displaying their unique skills.
"Put your foot down!"
"Let go!"
"If you don't put your foot down, I will crush you to death with my hands that separate your muscles and bones!"
"If you don't let go, I will crush you to death with my deadly scissor legs!"
"My tendon-splitting and bone-splitting hand is An Qingyue's unique skill. Xiaodong uses this move to beat Xiao Cong and defeat the enemy with one move!"
"My deadly scissor kick is a martial art created by Zhang Wuxin. Doufu uses this move to fight against the little fox and win with a decisive blow!"
"I eat a lot in the morning, so I don't need to eat at lunch. I can keep up with you until the evening, no problem!"
"……me too!"
"You are such a fart, I can hear your stomach growling! Huh? Hey, hey, hey! Be gentle and don't do this posture..."
Bu... With a long muffled sound, King Jing's suffocation rushed out of his body. King Yu was about to turn his face to dodge, but King Jing's legs clamped his head tightly...
King Yu was immediately knocked down by the biochemical weapon. He let go of his hand that was splitting muscles and bones, desperately broke King Jing's legs apart, and rushed to the side while crawling on the ground, retching again and again.
The victorious King Jing also felt that he was not able to win, and his face turned red. He quickly looked over at Qiaoqiao to see if his winning method was famous all over the world.
As a result, they saw Xiao Feng, who was full of anger, standing in front of them. It seemed that if the two of them didn't separate, he might fly at any time.
King Yu retched a few times, felt better, and quickly started to complain.
"Master, you've seen it, this kid has always been like this! In what was supposed to be a fair martial arts competition, he actually resorted to such shameless methods!"
King Jing was furious: "I didn't mean to do it! My stomach is empty, and my legs have to be clamped tightly. Try to see if you can fart!"
"You did it on purpose. If I hold it in, I can hold it in! This is the difference between a gentleman and a villain! Bu..."
King Yu shut his mouth, but still glared at King Jing. Xiao Feng looked at the two guys fighting like cocks and sighed helplessly.
“Eat first, if you don’t eat, others will be embarrassed to eat.
Besides, why do you two have to like the same puppy? Can't you both like different ones..."
