"What did you say... Someone reported that the Feng family was inciting seducement and preparing to cause trouble?"

In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji next to him and was surprised: "Have you found out clearly? Will it be a false alarm like last time? Feng Ann is still very aware of the current affairs."

Feng Ang... was originally a descendant of Feng Hong, the monarch of Northern Yan during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

Because Feng Hong could not bear to surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty, he fled to Goguryeo and sent his son Feng Ye to lead 300 people across the sea to return to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After the demise of Northern Yan, Feng Ye stayed in Panyu (now Guangzhou, Guangdong).

Feng Ye's grandson Feng Rong served as the governor of Luozhou, Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. Feng Bao, the son of Feng Rong, married Lady Xian, the daughter of the Xi family of Gaoliang, Lingnan, as his wife, and became the leader of the Yue tribe in Gaoliang. Liang of the Southern Dynasty appointed him as the prefect of Gaoliang.

Feng Bao and Lady Xian gave birth to a son Feng Pu, who was Feng Ang's father and became the prefect of Shilong.

Feng Ang was very strategic and brave when he was young. During the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty, Feng Ang was appointed as the county magistrate of Song Kang (now Yangxi, Guangdong) for his ancestors' merits.

In the first year of Renshou, the Liao people from Chaozhou and Chengzhou and other five states rebelled. Feng Ang quickly rushed to the capital and asked the court to send troops to attack Liaoren. Emperor Wen of Sui ordered the Zuo Pushe Yang Su and Feng Ang to discuss the situation of the rebellion of the Liaoren. Yang Su was surprised by Feng Ang and said, "I didn't expect that there was such a person among the barbarians!"

Then Emperor Wen of Sui issued an edict to order Feng Ang to recruit troops from Jiangnan and Lingnan to attack the Liaoren. After the rebellion was quelled, Emperor Wen of Sui appointed Feng Ang Jinzi Guanglu Dafu and the prefect of Hanyang.

In the seventh year of Daye, Feng Ang followed Emperor Yang Guang of Sui to Liaodong and was promoted to General of the Left Wu Guard for his merits.

In the second year of Yining (618), the Sui Dynasty was destroyed. Feng Ang rushed back to Lingnan, gathered people, and served as the leader, commanding 50,000 troops. Soon, Feng Ang relied on the Cangwu, Gaoliang, Zhuya and Panyu areas to govern Lingnan.

On July 18, 622, Feng Ang accepted the manifesto from Li Jing, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and led his subordinates to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan of Tang Dynasty set up Gao, Luo, Chun, Bai, Ya, Dan, Lin, Zhen Bazhou in Feng Ang's jurisdiction, appointed Feng Ang as the governor of Shangzhu Kingdom, Gaozhou (now Yangjiang, Guangdong), and was granted Duke of Wu. Soon after, he changed his title to Duke of Yue, and appointed Feng Ang's son Feng Zhidai as the governor of Chunzhou (now Yangchun, Guangdong), and Feng Zhiyu as the governor of Donghezhou (now Leizhou, Guangdong).

Soon, Emperor Gaozu of Tang changed Feng Ang to Duke of Geng.

In the first year of Zhenguan (627), Feng Ang and Tan Dian and others fought each other, but they had not entered the court for a long time. Local prefectures reported more than a dozen times that Feng Ang had rebelled, and Li Shimin planned to send Lin Mu, the general of the Right Wu Guard, to conquer the river, and dozens of states in the ridge launched a large-scale attack.

Minister Wei Zheng advised: "The Central Plains have just been pacified, and Lingnan has a long journey, a dangerous terrain, and there is a miasma and plague. Large troops cannot be stationed.

Moreover, the situation of Feng Ang’s rebellion has not yet been formed, so it is not advisable to mobilize the troops." Li Shimin said: "There are endless complaints against Feng Ang, so how can we say that the situation of rebellion has not yet been formed?"

Wei Zheng replied: "If Feng Ang rebelled, he would have divided his troops to occupy a dangerous place and plundered neighboring prefectures and counties. It has been reported that he has been rebelling for several years, and the Feng family's troops have not yet left the country, so there is obviously no sign of rebellion.

Since the prefectures suspected that Feng's rebellion, His Majesty did not send envoys to appease him. Feng's family was afraid of death, so they did not dare to come to the court.

If Your Majesty sends envoys to show him sincerity, Feng will be happy to be free from disasters, so that he will not have to work in the army and make him obey." Li Shimin then ordered the withdrawal of troops.

On the sixth day of the 10th month of the same year, Li Shimin sent Wei Shuxi, the attendant of the cavalry of the rank of the cavalry of the rank of the cavalry of the rank of the cavalry of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of Feng Ang.

Feng Ang asked his son Feng Zhidai to return to the court with the envoy. Li Shimin said: "Wei Zheng asked me to send an envoy, and Lingnan would be stable, which would be better than the role of a 100,000 army. We must give Wei Zheng five hundred pieces of silk.

That's why Li Shimin asked this question, but Changsun Wuji on the side said, "Your Majesty, this time the trouble is still very serious. Because I got the news that Feng Ang was almost out of reach, he wanted to fight for the last item to save his life for his family.

And if we want to fight, we must reflect the importance of the Feng family. What can better reflect the important things of the Feng family than the troublemakers?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin frowned tightly. The people were ethnic minorities. They were in Lingnan. Everyone knows that Lingnan is not the paradise now.

Lingnan is the general term for the area south of the Wuling Mountains in the Tang Dynasty, separated from the inland with the Wuling Mountains as the boundary.

The five ridges are composed of five mountains, Yuechengling, Dupangling, Mengzhuling, Qitianling and Dayuling, and are generally distributed at the borders of four provinces in eastern Guangxi to eastern Guangdong, Hunan and Jiangxi.

Historically, it roughly includes Guangdong (including Hainan, Hong Kong, Macau), Guangxi, eastern Yunnan Province, and some areas in southwestern Fujian Province.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the equalization system was implemented, and the remote Lingnan area was divided and prefectures and counties were set up. It was better to gradually organize households and people to gradually collect the policy of regulating Lingnan. I originally thought that this would help govern Lingnan well.

But on the contrary, in the seventh year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, Chen Longshu's Nanfuzhou threatened his people to become naturalized. In Lingnan, most of the leaders of local ethnic minorities came to dominate the local regime. It was nominally affiliated with the Tang Dynasty, but did not pay taxes.

When naturalization is adopted, you have to pay half tax, which is preferential to the Central Plains tax. However, Lingnan was remote at that time, with limited production capacity, and half tax was also a huge burden. The establishment of Nanfuzhou caused dissatisfaction among Luo Dou Liao people and involved local interests.

Then the Liaoren began to rebel, burn, kill and loot. The Liaoren was very strong. He came down from the mountains, killed you, snatched things, and then returned to the mountains. If you go into the mountains to encircle and suppress them, you don’t know how to die. The mountains in Lingnan are full of dangers, and poisonous insects and miasma are everywhere. You don’t live here, and it is very difficult to enter the mountains.

Later, Feng Ang stood up. Feng Ang was originally in Chang'an. After the Liaoren rebelled, the imperial court could not take it down for a long time. Feng Ang volunteered to quell the rebellion and was sent out of Chang'an. He immediately sent troops to encircle and suppress the enemy when he returned to Lingnan. He quickly put down Liaoren. After this Liaoren was quelled, Feng Ang eliminated the Chen family of the rich family in the Longzhou and entered the base of Gaoliang, creating a firm backing for the Feng family to occupy Gaoliang forever.

Feng Ann never returned to Chang'an. Feng Ann occupied a place that spanned two thousand miles, with more than 10,000 servants and many rare treasures. He lived so much that he was so nourishing. He was not the emperor in name, but in Lingnan, he was just a word.

"Wuji...You mean, the troublemakers are Feng Ang's provocation, and this trouble will definitely come true. Will Feng Ang benefit from it?"

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji nodded: "That's right... Feng Ang has this ability, I'm very worried now that what he wants is Yizi."

"The Fenzi is matched with his Feng family, so that the Feng family will become a royal relative and prosper with our Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin nodded: "This is very likely. If he really wants the Fenzi, we will be in trouble.

Lingnan is too far away, and the mountains are high and deep, so the soldiers in the palace are not adapted at all. Feng Ang will definitely sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. At that time, we and the people will suffer both losses. Now we are still preparing to conquer Goguryeo, so it is really not appropriate to send troops."

"But can we let the Yizi marry to Lingnan?" Changsun Wuji said softly.

This sound made our Emperor of Tang frown tightly: "It is absolutely impossible...! Wei Zi's body is so weak, how can he go to Lingnan?"

"Then your Majesty... we must quickly find a solution before Feng Ang takes action." Changsun Wuji reminded Li Shimin, and at this moment, Yang Qu walked in and came to Li Shimin and bowed: "Your Majesty... Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, Zhang Xuansu, Yan Xianghe, Du Zhenglun asked for a meeting...!"

After listening to Yang Qu's report, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were stunned.

Why did these five people ask for a meeting together? For some reason, Li Shimin always feels that something is going to be bad again.

....................................

In the effort of a cup of tea, Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, Zhang Xuansu, Yan Xianghe and Du Zhenglun walked into the Ganlu Palace together. The five of them walked over side by side, among which Kong Yingda was walking in the middle, holding a watch in his hand.

This was written by Kong Yingda in the carriage. Seeing the five people walking in with great momentum, to be honest, Li Shimin couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

These five people are famous for Li Shimin's difficulty, and the momentum they exuded at this time made Li Shimin feel even more wrong.

"My dear... are you going to submit a letter?" Li Shimin asked as he looked at the five people.

"Your Majesty..." Kong Yingda took the lead and bowed: "This time, the five of us will jointly submit a letter... Impeach the son-in-law, Chai Lingwu, who is indifferent to the king's law and harms the soldiers of the palace. He is extremely guilty and cannot be forgiven...!"

"Chai Lingwu..." Changsun Wuji was surprised.

Li Shimin on the side looked at Kong Yingda and others and asked, "My dear, do you have evidence, you should know if there is no evidence..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Zhining bowed and bowed: "Personal evidence and physical evidence are all outside the hall. If you want to see the evidence, just recruit it...!"

"Okay...!" Li Shimin then recruited Tie Yu and others into the Ganlu Palace. Following Tie Yu, Zhao Yi and others also showed Li Shimin the documents and his injuries. What was even more shocking was that the soldiers with broken hands and feet took off their clothes, revealing their disabled wounds. What shocked Li Shimin even more was that in addition to these disabled wounds, everyone had knife wounds, arrow wounds, gunshot wounds of different sizes... Little by little, one scene after another made Li Shimin and others get goosebumps.

"In June of the eighth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (634), Duan Zhixuan of the Tang Dynasty attacked Tuyuhun... and fought with Tuyuhun soldiers and killed eighteen people, and was chopped off with one hand...!"

"In the ninth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (635), the battle against Dangxiang Qiang... was shot blinded by arrows in the left eye to save his comrades."

"In the sixth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (632), Gaochang attacked Yan Teng's battle... A huge rock broke his legs...!"

"The Battle of Songzhou in September in the 12th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (638)...break one move and one kick...!"

"In the 16th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (642), the battle of the Tang Dynasty attacking the Western Turkic Yizhou... The five internal organs were attacked and they had no strength for the rest of their lives...!"

....................................................

All the disabled soldiers talked about the cause and age of injury, which was also taught by Li You, because this could make Li Shimin feel more intuitively the difficulty of the soldiers.

"Come... Xuan Chai Lingwu..." Li Shimin shouted.
