Liu Yan was nominally the third-highest nobleman of the Han Dynasty, only inferior to the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty and Li Yan, the governor of Yong'an. Moreover, he was a relative of the royal family, so his status was extremely noble.
But in fact, he only knows his own affairs from his own family: he does not involve himself in national affairs. On weekdays, he usually just follows the prime minister to sarcastically discuss current affairs and make suggestions.
To put it bluntly, he just has no power.
Of course, it doesn't mean you have no power - if you can be valued by the Prime Minister and the suggestions you make can be used by the Prime Minister, then you still have power even if you have no power.
The key to the problem is that people like the Prime Minister are inherently talented. How many people's suggestions are valuable to him?
In the past three years, there has only been one Feng Mingwen.
This Feng Mingwen is truly an exception among exceptions. Every suggestion he makes is adopted by the Prime Minister, and every plan he makes is valued by the Prime Minister.
But his own son offended him.
As the first veteran to follow the late emperor, Liu Yan naturally did not need to be afraid of Feng Yong, who had just been named Guannei Marquis.
But bullying the elders rather than the younger, Liu Yan knew that this was the end of his status in the Han Dynasty.
A dignified Marquis of Duxiang, who held the title of General, concurrently held the positions of Guard Lieutenant and Central Military Advisor. The only troops he could command were more than a thousand troops under his own name.
More than a thousand names sounds like a lot.
But look at Zhao Guang?
At the age of twenty-nine, he alone led a thousand men to garrison the border county.
Not to mention that Feng Mingwen.
At just nineteen years old, he already controls an entire county.
Don't say that Meng Yan is the prefect. Meng Yan went to Yuejun to be the prefect, just to be a watchdog and a thug.
Feng Mingwen is the real person in power in Yuejun.
To quell the rebellion in Yuejun, Feng Mingwen must have at least three to five thousand men in his hands.
Not to mention that he should serve as Yue Jun's chief minister as a monarch.
A nineteen-year-old prince who holds real power in the local area, even if he is only a prince of Guannei instead of a prince, is enough to make people look at him with suspicion - because this is something that today's Han Dynasty has never done.
If he really succeeds in quelling the rebellion, given how highly he is valued by the prime minister, it is not impossible for him to be named a prince.
If such a promising young talent really had a grudge, it would not be called causing trouble. After all, he believed that Feng Yong could not do anything to him, but it would be leaving trouble for his descendants.
How old is Feng Yongcai? Liu Yan did not believe that he could live longer than Feng Yong.
So Liu Yan asked his son Liu Liang to give in, which was actually for his own good.
Leaving the affairs of the palace to the Liu Hu family and letting her take the title. Based on her relationship with the Empress Dowager Wu, coupled with Feng Yong's complicated relationship with the inner palace, Liu Yan believed that everyone would look at Wu. For the sake of the Empress Dowager's face, she would not go into further details.
Seeing that his son still looked a little unconvinced, Liu Yan slapped him and scolded him, "Don't leave the house these days! Wait until Feng Mingwen goes to Yuejun and takes office."
Liu Liang was confused and covered his face to keep from being at a loss.
Sir, you are the Marquis of Duxiang! Where did Feng Yongzhigao go? Could he be afraid of him?
Liu Liang's worldview has collapsed a bit.
At the same time, in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the maid was reporting to Huang Yueying: "Madam, Marquis Feng wants to see his wife."
"Feng Junhou?"
Huang Yueying, who was assembling things, was startled. She didn't react for a moment, and asked subconsciously, "Which Feng Junhou is so rude and just comes to the door suddenly without even a greeting? Besides, how can there be Junhou?" Hou came to see me? Shouldn't he be looking for the Prime Minister? "
However, Zhang Xingyi, who was studying not far away, lit up when he heard the title "Feng Junhou", and then smiled, "Did aunt forget that Feng Langjun was named Guannei Hou just the day before yesterday?"
Huang Yueying said "Yeah" and also laughed, "I forgot about him, let him come in."
Feng Yong got permission and entered the backyard with a rattan box. After putting the box down, he saluted Huang Yueying respectfully and said, "Mrs. Yong has met."
Huang Yueying's face was stern, but she deliberately didn't look at him. She didn't stop and said lightly, "Isn't this Feng Langjun who was just made a marquis? I thought you were still giving a big banquet today, no? Do you think you’ll be able to come here on your own time?”
Feng Yongde was granted the title of Marquis of Guan Nei, but he could not withstand the enthusiasm of the people in the Xinghan Society, so he had to hold a banquet at Zhuangzi.
This is nothing, after all, it is a happy event.
But the key point is that Guan Ji only came back yesterday when she was stuck at the city gate. When she came back, she didn't go back to Guan Mansion. She came directly to find her and slept in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Huang Yueying was someone who had been there, and what she had learned was mixed. After Guan Ji visited Feng Yong in the prison, she could tell at a glance that Guan Ji had lost her virginity.
She originally regarded Guan Ji as her biological daughter, but now that she learned that her daughter was raped by a certain bumpkin in prison, she already felt that she had suffered a big loss.
When I saw her again yesterday, I saw that her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were moist, and her charm was amazing. Now it is the time when alcohol is banned. She can look like this without drinking. There is only one answer.
Thinking about how long her daughter had been bullied by Feng Turtle, Huang Yueying was so angry that she fainted.
So when I saw this person today, I naturally wouldn't give him a good look.
Feng Yong smiled guiltily, "In front of Madam Yong, what difference does it make whether he is granted the title of Marquis or not? Isn't Madam Yong's elder?"
Huang Yueying then turned her head and looked at him, "People say that clever words make Feng Langjun seduced. It really makes sense."
As he said that, he glanced at Zhang Xingyi, who was standing by and almost had his eyes dazzling, and he sighed deeply.
"Brother Feng..."
Zhang Xingyi, who had just turned fourteen, bent her slender waist and walked up to Feng Yong, her face slightly red, and she said a little shyly.
The eyes are as bright as stars, and the love is born without words.
"Long time no see, little sister. I miss you very much."
This longing should just be a longing between friends, not anything else.
Feng Yong was sweating slightly on his back. He glanced at Huang Yueying and saw his wife's cold eyes, which made him feel even more guilty.
"Hey, cough, why is Si Niang here?"
If he knew Zhang Xingyi was here, how could Feng Yong dare to come?
"My little sister heard about Sister Guan killing generals, seizing the flag, and leading the army into battle in Nanzhong, and she admired her greatly. Unfortunately, my martial arts talent is not as good as my sister's. It seems that I can't catch up with my sister in martial arts. So I want to learn some military skills, thinking that if I have the opportunity in the future, I can lead an army to defeat the thieves."
Fourteen-year-old Zhang Ji has grown taller and slimmer, she is at her most beautiful age.
But when Feng Tuluo heard this, he laughed dryly, "Six Niang has such ambitions, I don't know how many men in the world will be embarrassed."
What do you want to do?
I just asked you what do you want to do?
Guan Ji kills the generals, seizes the flag, and leads the army into battle. That is her business. You said that you, the sister of a queen, can just be a lady of the world and be done with it? Do you have to learn any art of war? What's the use of learning it?
Wouldn't it be great to read "The Female Ring" and learn to embroider?
Why do you have to compete with your sister Guan?
Zhang Ji obviously didn't think so. When she heard Feng Yong's compliment, her eyes turned into crescent moons and she said softly, "How many people dare not be ashamed in front of brother Feng Yong? My little sister can't afford that. Brother, this is what I said."
Although she is young, her slightly youthful yet feminine temperament has already appeared on her body.
"Feng Junhou, you came here this time to find Siniang?"
When Huang Yueying saw that this was not possible, she quickly interrupted and asked.
"Oh, of course not."
Feng Yong received Huang Yueying's rescue and quickly picked up the topic, "Yong is...well, since he came back from Nanzhong, he has never had the chance to come over to see his wife, so he found time to come here today to visit his wife."
He took a sip and looked at Zhang Ji involuntarily.
Zhang Xingyi smiled softly, then gave her a slight blessing, and said in a very considerate manner, "Brother of the Feng family has something to tell my aunt, so I will avoid this concubine for the time being."
As she spoke, her eyes moved again, as tenderly as water, "I would like to thank my brother for your care in the past few days."
After finishing speaking, he hugged the book, took slender steps, and disappeared among the flowers and grass that had just sprouted.
Si Niang... has grown up and become sensible. She is no longer the innocent little girl who liked to cling to others.
Feng Tubeng looked at Zhang Xingyi's back with a little melancholy.
"What? You can't pull out your eyes? Do you want to catch up and say a few words?"
Huang Yueying's tone was fierce.
Feng Yong quickly calmed down and said, "Yong Yong lost his composure. I hope Madam will forgive me."
"You are now the king of the Han Dynasty, not like before, so whether I forgive you or not, what's the difference?"
Huang Yueying said coldly.
"Of course there is a difference. Why don't you tell Yong? Madam will always be Yong's elder!"
Feng Yongpai smiled.
"If you have something to say, don't do this."
Huang Yueying said angrily, "I'm not Sanniang or Siniang, and I'm going to follow your tricks."
Feng Yong secretly thought that this mother-in-law is difficult to deal with. 8)
