It seems that Queen Mother Luo is smart enough to know that Ouyang Feng has no good intentions.
Naturally, Ouyang Feng would not force it, and said: "In that case, forget it. If the Queen Mother misses her children, she can go to them instead of staying in this palace."
After saying that, he led Li Zunxu away.
In the end, it was decided that Li Zunxu would continue to be the emperor, avoiding the embarrassment of him becoming the shortest reigning emperor.
Ouyang Feng was named King Yizi and Prince Regent, taking charge of the government affairs.
Li Zunxu saw with his own eyes that Ouyang Feng massacred thousands of people today, including masters like Gu Qingxuan, whom he trusted most, and he was frightened to death. He really didn't want to be the emperor anymore, but he didn't dare to disobey Ouyang Feng. He just murmured in his heart, what was the difference between Ouyang Feng's doing this and becoming the emperor himself.
But in Ouyang Feng's opinion, the difference is huge. Once he really becomes the emperor, many things cannot be controlled by him. In such a big country with such a large population, if you really become an emperor, you will have much greater responsibilities. Being an emperor is not just for arrogance. With Ouyang Feng's character, if he really becomes the emperor, he must be a good emperor, and then there will be no freedom at all.
Queen Mother Luo finally left the palace and went to find her children. Ouyang Feng did not stop him, but sent someone to escort him.
The Qinghai Sect's vitality was seriously injured, and Gu Qingxuan was seriously injured. The only elders left were Lin Jian, the wind-chasing swordsman, and some peripheral disciples, such as Lin Junke.
Ouyang Feng did not embarrass them, and they did not dare to stay in Zhongxing City. They dragged their injured bodies back to Xining Mansion and stayed behind closed doors.
As for the remaining martial arts people, they scattered and fled, but Ouyang Feng did not pursue them.
Ouyang Feng quickly transferred the capable officers from the northwest back to Zhongxing City.
Long Zhan takes charge of the country's troops, and Yan Si's imperial guards expand. And Xiao Zhenping, a former small-time gambler, formed a cabinet and brought Ouyang Feng's governing philosophy to the whole country.
Huo Gong Tutuo stayed in the northwest to guard Baituo Villa.
There is also a large family property in Baituo Villa. Old father Ouyang Chi is unwilling to come to Zhongxing City with Ouyang Feng, mainly because he does not want to see Li Jingwen. Therefore, it was just right for Huo Gong Tutuo to stay. In fact, he personally didn't like to get close to Ouyang Feng.
Ouyang Feng sits in Zhongxing City and does not participate in specific affairs. He will only come to ask for instructions when his subordinates cannot make a decision. They are all familiar with this procedure.
Ouyang Feng had to live in Zhongxing City for a long time, and his family members also moved here.
Li Jingwen and Ouyang Ke happily entered the regent's palace without any frustration or worry because of her brother's disappearance. She had long known that Ouyang Feng looked down on his younger brother and had a very bad relationship with him, and the focus of her life was already Ouyang Ke.
As Ouyang Feng's heir, Ouyang Ke has been personally taught by Ouyang Feng over the years. Now that Ouyang Feng is covering the whole Great Xia with one hand, Ouyang Ke's future is limitless.
Li Jingwen couldn't help but tremble when she thought that her son might take charge of Daxia in the future. How could she still be in the mood to care about her younger brother?
Li Jingwen came to Ouyang Feng with a young man and woman. The woman is only sixteen or seventeen years old, young and slim, wearing traditional Xixia costumes. Beautiful facial features, curved thin eyebrows, jewel-like black eyes, high bridge of nose, small cherry mouth, pink skin, full of collagen, which can be broken with a blow. The man was in his twenties, with a thin build and handsome appearance. Although he was dressed luxuriously, he was a little depressed and his face was a little pale.
Li Jingwen said: "Brother Feng, these two are a safe pair of children. Chengzhen and Chahe were imprisoned in the palace by the emperor. I took them out."
As soon as Li Zunxu entered the palace, he immediately imprisoned Li An'an's relatives.
Although Li Jingwen was no longer in the mood to look for her brother, she still couldn't bear to have her brother's children become prisoners and took them out.
Ouyang Feng did not expect that Li An'an still had a son left behind. He was ignored when considering the successor to the throne. This man was also a candidate for the emperor. But now that it has been decided that Li Zunxu will continue to be emperor, it is not easy to repeat it again. He also knew that Chahe was the girl who originally wanted to marry Ouyang Ke but was rejected by Ouyang Feng.
As soon as Princess Chahe saw Ouyang Feng, she called out: "Uncle."
The word "uncle" made Ouyang Feng tremble and said hurriedly: "I am not your uncle, I am your uncle's brother."
After saying this, I felt guilty for a while, gathered full power, and instantly broke through the power. After saying this, I glanced at Li Jingwen and Li Chengzhen from the corner of my eye.
Li Jingwen's face was also flushed, she patted Chahe's head gently and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Li Chengzhen didn't react at all, he still looked like he was not alive or dead.
Ouyang Feng frowned inwardly. Didn't he say that Princess Chahe knew the rules and was polite? Why did she speak so recklessly? I hate Li An'an even more in my heart and don't know what he told his daughter about him.
Although Princess Chahe was young, she was very clever. The moment she opened her mouth, she could sense that Ouyang Feng had a guilty conscience and felt reassured.
When she wanted to say more, Ouyang Feng hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law can just arrange it."
Saying this, he turned away from them.
Ouyang Feng didn't want to talk to this Chahe. It would be bad if he couldn't get off the stage again. He just handed them over to Li Jingwen without asking any more questions. Princess Chahe could only leave with a heart full of gossip and unwillingness.
The center of power in Xixia was transferred from the imperial palace to the regent's palace. Ouyang Feng reduced the expenses of the royal family. A mascot does not need so many people to serve it, nor does it need so many people to protect it. The palace instantly became deserted.
Ouyang Feng neither restricted Li Zunxu's freedom nor prohibited him from making friends with courtiers, as long as he was brave enough. But he was hiding in the palace, no one dared to see him, and no courtiers dared to see him.
In just five years, two palace coups occurred in Xixia, and Ouyang Feng became the biggest winner in both cases.
Ouyang Feng changed Li An'an's strategy of pro-Mongolia and turning against Jin. After taking power, he immediately wrote a letter to King Zhao Wanyan Honglie to express the goodwill between Xia and Jin. Although the relationship between Jin Xia and Ouyang Feng was tense, Ouyang Feng and Wanyan Honglie never lost contact.
Due to the constant friction between Li An and Jin in the past two years, the relationship between the two countries has continued to cool down. The Jin Kingdom no longer considers itself a suzerain state and regards Xia as an enemy. This time Emperor Xia ascended the throne, it was no longer suitable for the Kingdom of Jin to confer the title of Emperor Xia as before.
But in order to ease the relationship between the two countries, Ouyang Feng invited Wanyan Honglie to the Xia Kingdom to crown the new emperor.
Wanyan Honglie was overjoyed when he received Ouyang Feng's letter. The rise of Mongolia has become a serious concern for Jin. Xia's continued closeness to Mongolia was a failure of Jin's diplomacy. Now that Xia has returned to Jin's arms, it has definitely added a heavy weight to Wanyan Honglie's political career.
Wanyan Honglie promised Ouyang Feng that he would mediate in front of the Jin Emperor and make peace with Xia Hua.
When Wanyan Honglie arrived this time, Ouyang Feng did not sit in the hall and wait like he did last time. Instead, he personally welcomed him outside the palace gate. This was purely because of personal relations, which was already a great improvement.
Wanyan Honglie had already dismounted from his horse when he was far away. When he saw Ouyang Feng standing outside the palace gate, he quickly stepped forward.
Both of them ignored the new emperor Li Zunxu and entered the palace hand in hand.
The person who announced the decree this time was a very young eunuch. He looked to be in his thirties, with handsome features, articulate words, and a very humble attitude, without the arrogance of his overlord country.
Ouyang Feng looked at it and felt something in his heart. This little eunuch actually had some skills. Ouyang Feng still remembered the martial arts of the warrior in white last time, and he still wanted to compete with him. Now here comes another young eunuch who is not weak in martial arts. Da Jin is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
However, Ouyang Feng had no interest in competing with this young eunuch. His status and strength were far behind him. He also didn't ask Wanyan Honglie. It was impossible for him to ask Wanyan Honglie about everything.
Wanyan Honglie mentioned that the Jin Emperor wanted to canonize Wang Han and Temujin of Mongolia. He knew that Ouyang Feng and Sang Kun had some friendship, so he told Ouyang Feng in advance.
Ouyang Feng knew that Wang Han could only be called "King Khan" after he was canonized by the Jin Dynasty.
Ouyang Feng counted the time, and the plot of "The Condor" should have begun, and the protagonist Guo Jing had already appeared. On a whim, he wanted to go to Mongolia with Wanyan Honglie.
Guo Jing is a rare perfect protagonist in Jin Yong's books and even in the entire martial arts world. His martial arts, character and circumstances are all perfect. He has never violated his beliefs in his life, and has truly implemented his beliefs and achieved the "unity of knowledge and action". His thoughts are simple and never waver no matter what he encounters. It's so precious to have the same thing for a lifetime. He is truly the chosen one.
Maybe he himself didn't have the ability to implement his beliefs so thoroughly, but with Huang Rong, a very smart woman who only had him in her heart.
Jin Yong never said that Huang Rong had any ideals. If he had any, it would be to fulfill Guo Jing's ideals. And Huang Rong has the ability to clear all obstacles for him. It was Huang Rong who completely gave up on herself, which made Guo Jing achieve the selflessness in his heart and also created an enviable and perfect couple.
Even though he became Xidu Ouyang Feng and was the hero of the party, he still had a good impression of Guo Jing, which was completely different from the resistance he had when he met Hong Qi.
Wanyan Honglie knew that Ouyang Feng wanted to go with him, so he was naturally overjoyed. He was only worried that he didn't have enough opportunities to interact with Ouyang Feng.
Ouyang Feng did not want others to know his identity, and he would not interfere in the development of anything. He just wanted to be a bystander. He wanted Wanyan Honglie to keep the secret.
Wanyan Honglie wished that no one knew Ouyang Feng, so he naturally agreed.
Wanyan Honglie joined his third brother Rongwang Wanyan Hongxi and headed north to Mongolia. They first went to Temujin's begging department.
Ouyang Feng just followed Wanyan Honglie, restrained his aura, and acted as Wanyan Honglie's private soldier. Fortunately, the Kingdom of Jin does not lack tall Western Region barbarians like him, but they are not very conspicuous.
Ouyang Feng finally saw the strongman Temujin up close.
Temujin was in his fifties, but the desert wind and sand and years of fighting made him look older, with a medium stature but exceptionally strong.
