As the emperor in the court announced that Yidaowei would be solely responsible for martial arts performances, Han You, who had returned to Beijing for a few days, continued to dominate the list of hot searches.
More and more envoys from various countries came to Beijing, including Goguryeo, Yingdao, Turks, and other countries in the Western Regions.
Honglu Temple is very busy, going around and around, and it's a mess.
Han You is also very busy. The busier he is, the more people disturb him.
King Yan Feng Wenyan brought the brand new Hou Fengxiao of Shengshan County in the West to visit.
It was quite an awkward meeting, but everyone was very polite, so they all kept polite and awkward smiles.
The elder's embarrassment could only be resolved by the younger one. Feng Bai was so excited that he expressed his great kindness and thanked Han You on behalf of the Yan Palace.
Everyone is so familiar, and Xiaobai is not used to having to pretend to be very polite, and the same goes for Han You.
After all, he was the prince, so Han You had a banquet hosted, and he called a few friends who were well-known and had some cards to accompany him, such as the second prince Zhou Tong, the second prince Zhou Tong, and the second prince Zhou Tong.
Only Zhou Tong could attend the banquet. There was nothing he could do about it. Most of Han You's friends were non-staff.
Although Wang Hai has now become a high-quality idol in the industry of nurses and servants in Beijing, to put it bluntly, he is still a nurse and servant.
Lu Baichuan, this guy used to be a spy, his identity is very...very secret, no one knows him.
Jiang Zhui is not as famous as Dachuan'er.
Zhou Yan was also a prince, so he went to the back mountain to watch Master He doing scientific research while he was away.
The only one who could do it was the second prince Zhou Tong. It turned out that this guy's emotional intelligence wasn't very good either. The person hosting the banquet was obviously King Yan, and this guy and Feng Bai hugged each other and called each other brothers.
King Yan was very satisfied with the unintentional planting of willows and was very pleased to see Feng Bai and Zhou Tong being like biological friends.
Apart from the kindness of parents, the most important friendship in the world is the love of paoze. To have such a posthumous love of paoze with the second prince is not a happy event for the Yan Palace.
The fact that Prince Yan's family does not participate in the power struggle in Beijing is not a means of self-protection. If the royal family is willing to make friends with them, Prince Yan's Palace will not refuse.
The former emperor wanted to marry a princess to Prince Yan's Mansion in the West, but Feng Wenyan did not agree. He was living in the West, not a deaf mute in the West. Even he could see that the previous dynasty was exhausted. , so they are unwilling to get too involved and extremely reject the political struggle in Beijing.
Through this visit to Beijing, King Yan Feng Wenyan also saw some things and made some decisions.
This dynasty is different from the previous dynasty. At the end of the previous dynasty, the court had lost absolute control over the world. However, the emperor of this dynasty has the appearance of a wise emperor. He can sit on the throne with just a three-province system. In addition, when he ascends the throne, he will send his confidants to Various Zhechong mansions are also making clever moves. Judging from various feedback information, aristocratic families everywhere have settled down and do not dare to have any unnecessary thoughts.
In this general environment, Feng Wenyan is willing to deepen the close ties with the imperial court on behalf of the Yan Palace, or in other words, deepen the ties with the palace.
To take a step back, Feng Bai's position as Marquis of Shengshan County was obtained through Han You. Han You was also the commander-in-chief of the emperor's personal army. From this level of status, the Yan Palace had already deepened its relationship with the palace.
Feng Bai and His Highness the Second Prince had a good time, and Feng Wenyan liked to hear about it.
It also depends on the person. If it were not the second eldest prince Zhou Tong, His Highness Can Gui, but the third prince Zhou Ben, Feng Wenyan would definitely tell Feng Bai to stay away from the prince.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Feng Wenyan's face turned a little red. He didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or from drinking, or maybe both.
Looking at the young and somewhat excessive commander-in-chief of the Emperor's personal army in front of him, Feng Wenyan didn't know what to say for a moment.
To be fair, he used to think that he had contributed to the government. He led the Xiguan soldiers to stay ready and alert at any time. He could stand on the wall to guard the pass or go out to fight at any time and at any time.
After a trip to Beijing, I can only say that there are talents from generation to generation, and each generation is more and more showy.
Going out to conquer Nanguan, opening up territory for the country, and accomplishing unparalleled feats are all in the "little" generation.
"The yellow sand rolls up with iron hooves, the long sword and the fast horse enter the enemy's formation, and the flag is hunted. The blood is all over the body, the war horse roars, the owl has a hundred-level head, and the world is praised for his unparalleled feats. He is so majestic."
Feng Wenyan toasted Han You with a toast and said with emotion: "I think back then, I was worried about gains and losses. I thought that if the allied forces of the Western Regions invaded the border, I would lead my sons to make great achievements, but I also thought about how many sons it would take to achieve the goal of one general. Only the corpse of my Prince Yan in the West can achieve the prestige of my Prince Yan's Mansion in the West. I am old, I am old. Fortunately, Xiaoer has made great achievements and will not disgrace the prestige of my Prince Yan's Mansion."
Han You glanced at Feng Bai, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Old, I can't talk about it. I can only say that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.
Whether in the previous dynasty or in this dynasty, there are famous generals and marshals, and there are many.
Do these famous generals and marshals really like battle formations? Not necessarily.
They guard important places and borders, and rarely take the initiative to attack, leave the border, or fight.
This is not because they are greedy for life and afraid of death, but for practical and helpless reasons.
Merit, military merit, especially military merit, which one is not based on mountains of bones, these bones belong to both the enemy and the emperor.
Let's take Nanguan Commander Ren Canglin as an example. This old commander didn't want to lead his soldiers out of the Pass to fight and kill the barbarian tribes like flies one by one.
But if you really do this, are there more mountains of corpses from the enemy or from your own people?
The more you kill, the more you see, the more you think, the more you "defend" well.
There were so many famous generals and commanders in the previous and present dynasties, and they were becoming more and more "good at defending". This did not mean that they could not win the battle without relying on the city gates, but they just did not want to sacrifice too many comrades.
So there are many things in this world that cannot be said. The general’s military exploits are his ingenuity, his battle array, his unparalleled bravery, and... countless fathers, elder brothers, younger brothers, and husbands have sacrificed their blood and lives for it.
Many grassroots troops, especially new recruits, if given a choice, would prefer to follow generals who are "good at defense" rather than generals who are famous for being good at attacking.
This is not because they are afraid of death and do not want to go into battle, but they are also human beings, and they also have families, parents, and children.
The truly respected generals and marshals may not have accomplished many extraordinary feats, but they must love their soldiers as their own children and cherish the lives of their troops.
King Yan, Feng Wenyan is like this, eating and sleeping together with his troops, sharing joys and sorrows.
The more this is the case, the more we cherish the lives of our troops, and the more we cherish the lives of our troops, the less willing we are to encounter war. War will definitely be accompanied by death, and death will definitely be accompanied by grief, eternal separation between heaven and man, countless countless A story that is not worth mentioning but is sad and heart-wrenching.
King Yan drank a little too much and talked about his past ambitions, his current "cautiousness", his regrets that he had not experienced a big war, and his luck that he had not encountered a big war.
Han You had a smile on his face, and the trace of sadness between his eyebrows disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, he had no hesitation and was extremely determined. It was time to get the gunpowder, at least for the grassroots troops!
"General Han is young and promising, loyal and courageous."
King Yan Feng Wenyan raised his wine glass: "Then Xiao'er... I'll leave it to the commander-in-chief."
"It's easy to say...it won't be later."
Han You was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean by please?"
Feng Bai coughed dryly, and his handsome face turned a little red: "I have discussed with my father that I will not return to the West with my father. I will follow Shao Yin for a few more years of experience."
"Ah?" Han You was confused: "If you want to practice, you should go to the military to practice. Return to Nanguan and continue to leave the palace. Why come to Yidao Guard to practice? Also, you are the Marquis now. I will not return to Nanguan in a short time." Shut it down, why are you following me? Are you still serving as a captain in the Yi Dao Guard?"
"Don't talk about the captain, the flag is ready." Feng Bai said cheerfully: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has told Beizhi that Shaoyin seems to be going to the East China Sea after performing martial arts. Of course Beizhi will follow Shaoyin."
"This..." Han You turned to look at Feng Wenyan, dumbfounded.
Feng Wenyan laughed loudly: "I am in my prime, so I can't just give Prince Yan to Xiao'er when I return to the West. Besides, he is now a noble of our Great Zhou Dynasty, and our Palace of Prince Yan will not suffer such a disadvantage."
"Fine."
Han You smiled bitterly: "I didn't say to go to the East China Sea, I just think that the East China Sea is a bit chaotic. Your Majesty will probably send me there. I can't say for sure now. Even if I go, I may not have much to achieve. I haven't made any achievements. In the future, King Yan will Don’t blame me.”
King Yan laughed loudly and continued to drink wine, saying nothing.
The so-called credit is just a joke. Just as Feng Bai said, he just wanted the elder to practice with Han You for a few more years.
During this time, he also inquired about a lot of things, mainly about Han You.
Just like other people in Beijing, they can hate Han You, but they have to admit that Han You is capable. Not only is he capable, but his subordinates are all capable people, some are good at economics, some are good at fighting, and some are good at fighting. There are all kinds of talents who are good at government affairs.
Follow Han You, learn more things, and make friends with this group of people. Why not make connections for him, Feng Bai, and the Yan Palace.
In addition, the most important reason is Feng Bai's personal choice.
If you ask King Yan Feng Wenyan what his biggest regret is in his life, it must be that he did not take a good look at the "world", did not make friends of his own, and did not experience things outside the West.
The West is not a big prison for the people of the Yan Palace. The Feng family will always be the "Yan Palace" in the West, and they will always live as the "Yan Palace". They will always live this kind of life. Law.
Feng Wenyan didn't want Feng Xiao to have the same regrets as himself. Such a life was not happy. He knew better than anyone.
