Ouyang Feng's palm strikes were as fast as the other, and Qiu Qianren finally inevitably faced off against Ouyang Feng.
Ouyang Feng's palm exerted enough internal strength. Qiu Qianren was knocked away by the palm, blood spurted from his mouth, and with a "click" sound, his arms were broken.
"Gang leader!" "Gang leader!"
Qiu Qianren's men rushed over and helped Qiu Qianren up.
Qiu Qianren's face was pale, he held his arms and looked at Ouyang Feng with shock and fear in his eyes. He thought that even if he was not as good as Ouyang Feng, he never expected that he would be so far behind.
Ouyang Feng said: "The magical skill of Iron Palm is well-deserved. I learned it today."
These words were not considered against his will, Iron Palm did live up to its reputation, but it was Qiu Qianren who met him, otherwise he would have been able to fight anyone.
Qiu Qianren said weakly: "The prince's reputation as 'the best in the world' is truly worthy of his name."
Ouyang Feng signaled his followers, handed Qiu Qianren a medicine bottle, and said: "This is my unique secret medicine 'Black Jade Intermittent Ointment', which has a miraculous effect on injured tendons and broken bones. Gang Leader Qiu can rest assured that there will be no sequelae in the future. Gang Leader Qiu is still floating on the water with Iron Palm."
Qiu Qianren did not take the medicine bottle, but knelt down and said: "I am willing to do my best for the prince."
Qiu Qianren didn't dare to be stubborn anymore.
If he refuses at this time, the consequences are unpredictable. No one can say whether Ouyang Feng will directly destroy the Iron Palm Gang.
Secondly, the gap in martial arts is already obvious. I don't have the ability to compete with Ouyang Feng in martial arts. In this case, surrendering to Ouyang Feng is not unacceptable.
Ouyang Feng laughed loudly, helped Qiu Qianren up and said, "It is my great fortune to have Gang Leader Qiu help me."
In his tone, he completely regarded himself as the Lord of Great Xia.
Qiu Qianren was so angry that he beat himself up like this. This was a bit ironic no matter how you heard it.
However, he also admired Ouyang Feng's martial arts and said humbly: "Your Majesty, you are so flattering."
Ouyang Feng said: "You don't have to be humble, Gang Leader Qiu. Both Gang Leader Qiu and the Iron Palm Gang are well-known. Ouyang Feng only has admiration in his heart."
Qiu Qianren found that when Ouyang Feng was in a good mood, his words were quite pleasant, but he must not offend him, otherwise he would have to face his storm.
After Ouyang Feng comforted Qiu Qianren, he returned to Xixia.
Ouyang Feng had only been away for more than three months, and seeing Ouyang Ke when he came back was already in the style of Mr. Wang Sun.
Li Jingwen taught Ouyang Ke in full accordance with court etiquette. Ouyang Feng already had this tendency when he became the king of the northwest. Now that he has become the regent, Li Jingwen has completely changed his teaching strategy towards Ouyang Ke. Ouyang Ke has even begun to listen to the cabinet affairs and care about national affairs.
Ouyang Feng did not intervene. He could not decide Ouyang Ke's life, nor could he determine which life was better. He just warned Ouyang Ke not to neglect his martial arts, because everything he had today was achieved through martial arts.
But it was inevitable for Ouyang Ke to devote some of his energy to studying politics, and Ouyang Feng could only let it go.
Li Jingwen brought up old matters again and wanted to betroth Princess Chahe to Ouyang Ke. Chahe is the most perfect daughter-in-law in her eyes. She is about the same age as Ouyang Ke, knowledgeable, courteous, and extremely beautiful.
Ouyang Feng frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you? They are blood relatives and cannot get married, otherwise there will be problems with the children they give birth to."
Li Jingwen didn't expect that Ouyang Feng still objected for this reason. She always thought that this was Ouyang Feng's excuse for not wanting to marry Li An'an.
Li Jingwen asked: "Is there really a problem?"
Ouyang Feng said: "Do you think I'm prevaricating you? What I said is true. I also plan to ban such incest marriages nationwide."
Li Jingwen was shocked. It turned out that Ouyang Feng was serious, but if he did this nationwide, the resistance would not be small. This is Xixia, which was originally on the edge of civilization. Even in the Song Dynasty, it was difficult to advance. After all, there are still many remote and isolated places that simply don't care about this kind of policy.
Li Jingwen said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. Habits formed over thousands of years are difficult to change."
Ouyang Feng said: "Then slowly change it. First promote this view of marriage in the upper class society. At least it must be explicitly prohibited in our family. This can also serve as an example. With our family's status, it will definitely be Many people follow suit. They may not understand the reason, but as long as they know that I am against it, they will not easily go against my wishes. As for those who are not yet in contact with people at our level, should we let it go first? Let’s popularize education, and when people’s quality improves, they will gradually accept it.”
Li Jingwen had rarely heard of Ouyang Feng's governing philosophy, and now she was surprised to hear him talk about universal education.
Li Jingwen was born in the royal family, so it’s not that she knew nothing about politics. The policy of obscuring the people is the policy most conducive to governance. Ouyang Feng actually wants to enlighten the people's wisdom, which will undoubtedly make his rule more difficult.
Ouyang Feng did not want to discuss national policies with Li Jingwen, and Li Jingwen also knew that Ouyang Feng was not a person who listened to advice. He must have thought deeply about a question like this. Although he couldn't understand it, he wouldn't try to persuade him again. He still had some self-knowledge.
Li Jingwen asked: "That Ke'er is not young anymore, it's time to arrange a marriage for him."
Ouyang Feng was a little speechless. If Ouyang Ke was placed in modern times, he would not have taken the college entrance examination yet, but here he is considered an older youth. I don't know if this is the progress or regression of civilization.
Ouyang Feng's ideal daughter-in-law is actually Huang Rong. But if people like Huang Rong want her to be kind to others wholeheartedly, she must do it from the bottom of her heart and completely voluntarily, and she cannot force it. Therefore, she must choose free love, and don't even think about marriage proposals, "parents' orders, matchmaker's words" and the like.
Li Jingwen still doesn't think highly of people like Huang Yaoshi. The ones she likes are not only relatives of the emperor, but also famous aristocrats. So Ouyang Feng didn't tell her, and besides, Huang Rong was still young.
Ouyang Feng just said: "Ke'er is still young, and the most important task now is to study. Besides, our family is very popular now. Ke'er is the eldest son, so his marriage should not be hasty and there is no need to rush."
Li Jingwen was puzzled when Ouyang Feng said "Ke'er is still young", but she was elated when Ouyang Feng called Ouyang Ke "the prince".
This is the first time that Ouyang Feng officially calls Ouyang Ke "the prince", and now Ouyang Ke's status is officially established.
Although Li Jingwen gave birth to a son to Ouyang Feng, and he was his only son, Ouyang Ke was always nominally Ouyang Feng's nephew.
It's not that Ouyang Feng didn't have other women. In addition to Ha Lin and Reyi, he also had other concubines, but he never had a wife or a second son. But it's not that he couldn't give birth to a second son.
The most embarrassing thing for Li Jingwen is that she has no status, and it is impossible for her to give birth to another son for Ouyang Feng. If she gives birth, it will be a huge scandal, and the old man Ouyang Chi will not let her go.
Ouyang Feng personally recognized Ouyang Ke as the "eldest son", which allowed Li Jingwen to let go of the big stone that had been hanging in her heart for many years, and she also let go of other things.
An important reason why Ouyang Feng did not have any more children was because of the ancestral motto of "single lineage". His fight with his eldest brother Ouyang Xin left him with lingering fears, and now it seemed that Ouyang Ke was not a loser, and he was very satisfied.
Ouyang Feng thought about abolishing this ancestral precept, but without this ancestral precept, wouldn't brothers kill each other? As the family business grows, this kind of fight is inevitable, but Ouyang Feng doesn't want to waste time on it. The old father saw the scene of their brothers spitting blood when they broke up, and it made him feel like a knife.
This ancestral precept should be left to Ouyang Ke to abolish.
Putting aside family matters, Ouyang Feng also listens to reports from his subordinates on major national events during this period.
What surprised him most was that Yan Si reported to Ouyang Feng that his men had rescued a person, an unexpected person: Ju'er Khan Yelu Zhilugu of Liao Kingdom.
The emperor of Western Liao reigned for more than thirty years. He was ignorant and mediocre, and his national power declined. The vassal states of Khwarezm, the Western Kara Khanate, and the Gaochang Uighurs all rebelled. Over the years, wars have continued, military discipline has been broken, and public resentment has boiled.
A few years ago, the Naiman tribe was destroyed by the Mongols. Qu Chulu, the son of Taiyang Khan, fled to Xiliao and gave him the daughter of Yelu Zhilugu who had been deceived, and also entrusted him with state affairs.
Quchulu colluded with Khwarezm and suddenly launched a coup while Yelvzhilugu was out hunting, hoping to capture Yeluzhilugu.
Baituo Villa is close to Xiliao, and its historical mission is to monitor Xiliao. It has been like this since Ouyang Chi.
After Yan Si became the spy chief under Ouyang Feng, he spent a lot of energy on Xiliao. His arrangements in Xiliao were even better than those at home. For example, the Piaomiao Peak Lingjiu Palace is located in Xiliao and is closely monitored by Yan Si.
A coup had just occurred in Xixia, and everyone's nerves were tense. The spies sent by Yan Si to Xiliao learned of this situation and took action directly to rescue Yelu Zhilugu.
Ouyang Feng was also somewhat impressed by Yan Si, what he did was really extraordinary. They are addicted to participating in coups. If their own country is not enough, they will go to neighboring countries to participate in coups.
But this matter is not trivial. It involves international relations and diplomacy is no small matter, so Ouyang Feng must be cautious.
Ouyang Feng asked: "Who knows that Yelu Zhilugu is in our hands?"
Yan Sidao: "My subordinates didn't dare to say anything. Only Mr. Xiao and General Long knew about it. It was difficult for them to decide on such a big matter, so they had to lock him up secretly and wait for the prince to come back."
Ouyang Feng nodded. Although Yan Si entered the center, there were not many people he could trust in such a short period of time. If anything happened, he would still discuss it with the old man in the northwest. But this kind of thing might directly trigger a war, and they couldn't guess what Ouyang Feng was thinking.
Ouyang Feng has not shown any ambition for power and land in these years. Apart from martial arts, he seems not to care much about anything else. This matter was a real national event. Without Ouyang Feng's order, they did not dare to act rashly, so they had to hide it first.
Yan Si looked at Ouyang Feng's noncommittal, and suddenly thought, could it be that she had done this rashly, and that the prince did not want to interfere in Liao's internal affairs?
