Chapter 101: The Talents of the New Emperor
All parts of the capital, Youzhou, and Dagan are filial piety for the predecessor.
When the countries around Dagan heard about the death of Emperor Dagan, no matter what the relationship was, even if it was a hostile Turk, they would send people to pay their respects.
For a moment, the big trunk seemed to have entered a white ocean, with white hanging everywhere, and the atmosphere was condensed and depressed.
The Turks sent a condolence envoy to Youzhou first, greeted Li Feng, and gave Mei Luchu gifts, and then set off for Dagan Capital.
In the Youwang Palace, Li Feng was wearing white and looked at the gifts given by the Turkic envoy, two war horses that were half taller than people, two sets of armor that matched the horses, one set of iron armor covering the whole body, and several weapons that looked like long hammers.
Zhang Shoulin and Xiang Ran, under Li Feng's men, looked at the set of things and showed a look of surprise: "If there were such a cavalry covered with armor, how would they deal with it?"
Li Feng stepped forward and patted the war horses. He recognized this kind of horse. The Shar horses riding by European heavy cavalry were extremely powerful in carrying weights. Only such horses could carry more than 100 kilograms of armor.
"This is a heavy cavalry equipment, which should have been brought by the Turks from the extreme west. Although the threat is very great, they can't afford much."
Hearing Li Feng's words, Zhang Shoulin and Xiang Ran felt a little relieved. If they faced such an opponent, they really didn't know what to do.
Li Feng stepped forward and rubbed the armor carefully and frowned. He did not expect that the iron smelting technology in Europe was so advanced, not inferior to big work. If he fought, it would be difficult to deal with heavy cavalry.
"Prince, the Turkic envoy came and went in a hurry. He did not explain the origin of this set of things in detail. I finally thought that he should interrogate it carefully."
Li Feng nodded and returned to the hall in silence to continue to guard the emperor.
In the capital of Dagan, Li Yuan regretted not calling Li Feng back because Li Feng's mother, Li Rui's main palace queen, was making a big fuss with her youngest son Li Tong, asking why Li Yuan didn't let Li Feng come back.
This is the Lord of the Empress Dowager even if Li Yuan ascended the throne, especially her mother's family is very powerful. Her ancestors were the founding dukes, and they are still hereditary. Although their power has greatly reduced compared to when they were founding dukes, their influence cannot be underestimated.
"My mother, my father had an order before his death, but he would not be allowed to enter the capital without promulgation. I also want to see my brother, but I can't change my father's orders in the Golden Mouth."
"The Dagan Ancestor System, the princes must attend the funeral of Emperor Daxing. You are against the ancestral system."
Li Yuan was speechless. He could not say that his father's orders were greater than those of the ancestral system.
Seeing that Li Yuan could not resist, Zhao Yan stood up and said, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty is just following the will of the late emperor and is not at fault."
"You mean the Ai family is wrong?"
"The old minister dares not, but the late emperor's words are not easy to modify. Please understand Your Majesty."
Li Yuan was so moved that he was about to cry. This was the minister of the humerus.
The empress dowager snorted coldly, Zhao Yan deserves to be an old minister in the officialdom. He removed Li Yuan from it in two sentences, turning the problem into a conflict between the imperial edict of the late emperor and the ancestral system. But neither of them can speak, and no one can judge a right or wrong.
What's more, the civil and military officials of the court did not support King You to come back, so the empress dowager could only swallow this tone.
Seeing that the empress dowager stopped making trouble, Li Yuan regained his majesty and asked someone to help the empress dowager back, and he continued to preside over the leadership.
The Empress Dowager wanted to make trouble, but when she thought that Li Feng was not there, it would be useless for her to make trouble. Although her position as the Empress Dowager would not change, she always felt uncomfortable when she became the emperor.
The funeral ended briefly, and Li Yuan called Zhao Yan, and asked about Zhao Kang without mentioning what happened just now.
"Zhao Aiqing has a son named Zhao Kang, right?"
Zhao Yan nodded, with a very respectful attitude.
"He was once the governor of Youzhou. I have heard that he has made many achievements, but for some reasons, he was dismissed from office and was at home. What are the men doing now?"
"Read and write tirelessly, in order to repay His Majesty's kindness again."
Li Yuan was very satisfied: "After I ascend the throne, all industries are waiting to be developed, and there are few capable generals around me. The Secretariat has a vacancy, so let the son take office on the date."
Zhao Yan knelt down excitedly: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
Li Yuan hurriedly helped Zhao Yan up: "Taiwei Zhao worked hard all his life, and he worked hard and made great contributions, and he was old and old. This private kneeling would be spared."
The two of them look like a lord, a sage, and a wise man, which is simply envious of others.
At this point, Zhao Kang re-elected and his official position was higher than that of the governor of Youzhou. He was the Zhongshu Lang who entered the decision-making center and was also known as the Little Prime Minister to the outside world.
Later, Li Yuan met with envoys from various countries who came to pay his respects. When he saw the Turkic envoys, he thought that Li Feng had a group of people from the Turkic Ashina clan, which was the royal family before the Turkic ones.
Because of Li Feng's actions, Mei Luchuo even withdrew from the army. Before, Li Yuan was the crown prince, and Li Rui was responsible for such matters, but now he is the emperor.
When Li Yuan sat in the position of the emperor, he knew how dangerous those hundreds of people were in Li Feng's hands.
That was the Turkic royal family, which had a huge appeal in the Turks. If Li Feng used them to cause trouble, I wonder how many people could win over them.
According to the procedure, the messenger offered a gift and could leave. After the Turkic messenger was delivered, he was left by Li Yuan and had a meal later.
The Turkic envoy was surprised, but he stayed.
When the meal was about to be eaten, Li Yuan and the Turkic envoys ate, asked about the Turkic situation, and then transferred to the Asina clan.
"The last border conflict was caused by hundreds of people from the Asina clan. This was originally an internal matter for you Turks, but I kicked You King You. Did you ever get angry after you Turkic Khan returned?"
The Turkic envoy shook his head: "I don't know, but Khan praised King You many times, calling him a snow leopard on the grassland."
Li Yuan didn't know what the snow leopard was, but it sounded very fierce. Li Feng defeated the Turkic Khan, but he could praise the Turkic Khan many times, which shows his strength.
This made Li Yuan extremely angry. He was the one who should be praised by the enemy country.
Li Yuanbuxian said indifferently: "But that is the internal affairs of you Turks after all. Let's do this. After I ascend the throne, I will issue an imperial edict to King You to return the hundreds of people from the Ashina clan."
"It is better for you Turks to decide what you Turks do."
The Turkic envoy was overjoyed, but he didn't expect to attend a funeral, and there was an unexpected joy.
Although Mei Luchuo has been praising Li Feng and keeping his promise, he always wants to kill hundreds of people from the Asina clan.
