Chapter 407: Exiled Lingnan?
"No wonder Feng Ang has the confidence to come to Chang'an. It turns out that his backup plan is here." Uncle Fan nodded and said, as if he was very sure of his method. The other uncles also nodded in agreement.
"High yourself?" Shi Lei asked tentatively. Why is it so coincidental? Not long after Feng Ang came to Chang'an, eight hundred miles of rush came from there, saying that he had been with Feng Ang and his subordinates who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and did not deal with Luo Doudong's officials, and then turned against him. If there was such a coincidence, Shi Lei did not believe it.
Of course, this can also be said that these people are a little afraid of Feng Ang's reputation and choose to dare to cause trouble when he is not around. So even if everyone thinks so, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the other party did this.
Besides, the staff of Narodou Cave have always been inconsistent with Feng Ang. It is obviously not appropriate to say that they cooperate with Feng Ang's actions.
"Oh, our Shi Tou also knows the principle of raising a bandit's self-respect." Uncle Fan teased Shi Lei with a smile. The impression he gave everyone was always a bit lacking in scheming. He could think of such a skill, which was indeed a bit surprising. Shi Lei had to touch his head and smiled foolishly.
"Of course it's true. In Lingnan, there are basically the Feng family, Ding family, and Chen family, and the three families.
Except for the Feng family who has always been relatively stable on the Central Plains dynasty, the other members of Qu Shuai were sentenced to surrender at every time. This is not the case with Feng Xuan, the brother Feng Ang who died. His approach is no different from that of the other families.
This certainly has a lot to do with their own survival needs. After all, if you obey the Central Plains dynasty, you have to pay taxes. Even if it is only a half-tax discount, it has become a big burden for them who are used to living without paying taxes.
But at the same time, there are also the needs of these coaches themselves. Their own life is not bad, which can be seen from Feng Ang. Their actions are more about ensuring their status.
The war against the outside and inside not only allows them to eliminate dissidents within the clan and strengthen their control over the chassis, but also further consolidate their position and enhance their importance on the Tang Dynasty. Because it is obviously better and more economical to quell the rebellion in Lingnan and use their men to make them fight in the nest.
So strictly speaking, they are also a tacit understanding between each other, and even the battle will be maintained within a certain intensity. Just look at the real gains of their previous battles." Uncle Fan smiled and explained calmly.
"The three families of love are doing this." Shi Lei nodded in a clear way. He was still thinking too simple. He was just playing triangular balance.
"But this trick is really useful, right?" Uncle Fan said with a mysterious smile.
"So after you really reach such a high position, you must know how to play this trick." The butler reminded me seriously.
"Do you think that Feng Ang can play with such a method? If you think about why your father-in-law and the others would take a friendly attitude towards Feng Ang, you will understand.
These are all masters who eat people and don’t spit out bones. Although the stability of the Tang Dynasty is what they value, they are nothing compared to their own wealth and life.
Li Jing, known as the God of War, used to sue the Tang Dynasty, and now he can serve in the Tang Dynasty. How many other nobles really followed His Majesty from the beginning? That is, a few of them, including our Shi family, still exist now.
This is why it is said that 'meat eater is despised'." Uncle Fan gave Shi Lei a political class, which really updated his views. Damn it turns out that the world of nobles is like this...
In other words, Cheng Chuyue and the others went to discuss how to use the newly acquired jewelry to create a set of top-face jewelry for themselves, otherwise it would be difficult for several uncles to say these words in front of them.
Shi Lei, who was broadened his horizons and understood the true face of the world, reflected seriously for a long time, and felt that the reason why he was able to grow smoothly and that he really had a great luck factor in growing up to this point.
It’s also a blessing for this loyal family member who is helping to protect the situation. Otherwise, Shi Lei really couldn’t imagine how he developed in this urban jungle that is more cruel than nature or even more cruel, in this kind of well-covered and prey on the weak.
The uncles did not disturb Shi Lei, who was in deep thought, gave him a little bit of a strong shock. The true face of this world and present it in front of Shi Lei is good for his growth. He can't always live under everyone's wings and keep being so naive.
One day, the head of the family will really lead the family forward, think about the way forward alone, and face those choices that are related to the family's well-being and future, and even life-related.
A few days later, the development of the situation did not exceed Shi Lei and the others' expectations. The rebellion of the Luo Dou Cave's men showed a prairie fire. They occupied the cave and the dangerous mountain roads, and refused to be on guard.
Perhaps there was no Feng Ang's order. These Lingnan troops, which were nominally loyal to the Tang Dynasty, were actually obedient and not listening to the Xuan Dynasty, especially those under Gaozhou, chose to wait and see and remained silent.
The Tang Dynasty did not want to send troops from other places in a big battle. It was obviously more economical to transfer people from Lingnan directly, so it simply fulfilled Feng Ang's intention and no longer allowed him to continue to stay in Chang'an.
Instead, he issued an imperial edict, which encouraged him more and also rewarded him with a very generous gift. Although this was not a big gift for him, Feng Ang, at least on the surface, his intention was still very good.
With this thick glory, Feng Ang was embarrassed to push the Tang Dynasty's orders again, so he could only pretend to be reluctant to leave, preparing to lead his troops to quell the rebellion from Luodou Cave.
There is nothing surprising at all. Since the Tang Dynasty has not uprooted their Feng family, it is natural to continue to use his appointment.
But beyond many people's expectations and not within the scope of the parties' thinking, the imperial edict actually announced another appointment at the same time. The only vocational officer of the Tang Dynasty, the best among the younger generation of the empire, was hailed as the number one fierce general of the younger generation. In the national war to destroy the Turks, Shi Lei, who made great achievements, actually wanted to go back to Lingnan with Feng Ang, the local emperor, to quell the rebellion!
And it seems that there is also the intention of letting Shi Lei stay in Lingnan forever, because someone will be able to make up for his position, which caught Shi Lei even more off guard.
The imperial edict, Xi Junmai, acted as the General of Shi Lei's left-level guard, and believed that if he would not make any major mistakes in the future, he would be able to successfully remove the word "dai" in the previous word after the next court exam.
Xue Rengui, who Shi Lei has been carefully trained, has indeed received enough attention and was directly transferred to the Eastern Palace and became the top thug under Li Chengqian.
That's it, is Shi Lei exiled to Lingnan?
Even without any news in advance, could it be that Li Shimin made a temporary decision?
Because Shi Lei has not done anything taboo recently, no matter how he looks at it, he will not be exiled, right?
