Phoenix Shadow Coming From the Sky: Twelve, a line between sorrow and joy 6

At the beginning of May in the fifth year of Yuanding, Qing Huijun's old illness relapsed, and he went to Qianbi Mountain to recuperate.

In later generations, the royal family of the Feng family added another courtyard to Qianbi Mountain, and this Qianbi Mountain became a resting palace for the royal families of all dynasties.

On the second day after Jiuyao left, when Feng Duying was dealing with political affairs in Hanchen Hall, the servant came to report, and the Prime Minister Xu Shi asked to see him.

"Xuan."

After a while, Xu Shi arrived, "Minister Xu Shi pays homage to King Feng."

"The Prime Minister is exempt."

Xu Shi is the youngest among the seven state prime ministers. He is thirty-six years old now.

"Thank you, King Feng." Xu Shi got up.

"Why do you want to see the Prime Minister?" Feng Duying looked at the courtiers under the steps and asked.

"I came today to persuade King Feng not to send troops to conquer Shanyou." Xu Shi looked up at Feng Duying and said.

"Huh?" Feng Duying looked at him with raised eyebrows. During the discussion in Ziying Hall that day, Xu Shi, as the Prime Minister of the country, never spoke.

"Whether to conquer the mountains or to establish diplomatic relations, I have been hesitant to decide. It was not until I received the letter from Qing Huijun last night that I suddenly realized." Xu Shi took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it with both hands. superior.

Feng Duying couldn't help but startled when he heard the words, Jiuyao wrote a letter to Guo Xiang?

The servant waiting on the side had already stepped forward to take the letter from Xu Shi, and then walked to the throne to present it to her.

Take the letter paper and stare at it. The so-called letter is actually just two words: Wang and Jiang.

Looking at these two words, Feng Duying was wondering, but Xu Shi had already said: "A general needs to be able to fight well, in order to protect the country and expand the border; a king needs to be benevolent and wise, for the sake of the well-being of the people." .”

Feng Duying's heart skipped a beat, and he stared at Xin but said nothing.

"Feng Wang is now the lord of Qingzhou. All the people in the state look up to Feng Wang. What the people ask for is abundance of food and clothing, and a safe family. And when there is a war, it is necessary to levy food and soldiers. To levy food means from the people Snatching food with the mouth; recruiting soldiers, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and the people will lose their loved ones. These are not the virtues of a king." Xu Shi said generously.

Feng Duying raised his eyes to look at Xu Shi, and in an instant, Gu Yunyuan, who was talking eloquently in the Golden Palace in the past, suddenly flashed in his mind, how high-spirited he was at that time. If...the bloodbath on Jiuluo Mountain hadn't happened, then it must be Jiuyao who told her about the king and general at this moment, and was in a daze for a while.

After Xu Shi had a long talk, he saw that King Feng just sat there in a daze, which was a bit puzzled. He bowed his head and said again: "If your words offend King Feng, please forgive me. I am from Qingzhou The people beg for orders, please ask Feng Wang to be sympathetic to the hardships of the people, every millet and a soldier are the orders of the people. Moreover, the conquest of mountains and other places is to use troops abroad, so you must ask your majesty for an order. The theory of ministering'."

Hearing the last sentence, Feng Duying was startled, thinking about the impeachment in the imperial capital. It is true that it is really inappropriate to send troops to Shanyou at this moment, whether it is the court or herself... Sighing silently, she said: "The king agrees with your advice."

Hearing this, Xu Shi was stunned. He knew the nature of Feng Duying, and he was definitely not such an easy person to persuade, but he looked up and glanced at the letter in her hand, and his heart was somewhat clear.

"The king and the general each perform their own duties, and this king will abandon his role as king. Such an argument..." Feng Duying paused, then shook his head with a faint smile, "Although it is fresh, it is also reasonable."

Hearing this, Xu Shi felt relieved and bowed to the ground, "I thank the King of Feng for the people of Qingzhou."

Feng Duying got up and stepped down the jade steps, and stretched out his hand to help him, "Actually, this king should thank you for the people of Qingzhou, you are a wise man."

"Don't dare." Xu Shi didn't dare to let her help him, so he hurriedly got up.

"Since I came to Qingzhou, this king has shouldered the heavy burden of the state. Fortunately, with the presence of the country, half of the burden on my shoulders has been relieved." Feng Duying said. When Xu Shi was serving as a servant in the court, he often advised the emperor as an upright minister like Yan Xuan. Now that he has been in Qingzhou for a year, he has seen the outstanding talent of this prime minister. Can be a virtuous prime minister.

Hearing such sincere words, Xu Shi's heart was shaken, but he kept calm on his face, bowed his head and said: "It's my luck that I can assist King Feng."

Feng Duying walked back to the throne, "The Prime Minister wrote a letter for the king to ask His Majesty to set up a border city in the south of Jiuluo Mountain. Since this city faces the Bi Yahai, there is a saying that 'the heart of the blue blood turns into a loyal soul'" , it guards the frontier of my Dadong, so it is called 'Dancheng'."

"Yes." Xu Shi answered with his head bowed.

"Go ahead."

"The minister resigns."

The memorial to the imperial capital was quickly approved, and at the invitation of the emperor, King Yunfeng, a city was built on the south side of Jiuluo Mountain, and then thousands of households were moved there. This city was called Dancheng. In later generations, it really played a role in protecting the frontier.
