  Chapter 1154 Family affairs

   "This time, if the operation is done well, Jingzhou's food supply channels can be almost completely controlled by us."

  Feng Duhu let out a breath and looked at Deng Liang:

   "After this incident, Jincheng doesn't have to be as close as it is now. Weizhe really has no plans to come to Chang'an?"

   Deng Liang shook his head, smiled, and rejected Feng Duhu's kindness:

   "My mother is not in good health and should not be tired. I plan to let her die in Jincheng."

   "It's cold here in Chang'an. My mother is from the south. I'm afraid I'm not used to it. It's better to live in Jincheng more comfortably."

  Feng Duhu nodded:

   "It's true. As the saying goes, don't go to Sichuan when you are young, and don't go to Shu when you are old. If you really want to provide for the elderly, Jincheng is indeed more suitable."

  Deng Liang was dumbfounded:

   "Brother, I always feel that there is something wrong with what I said. It is understandable for me to stay out of Shu, but what does it mean if I don't go to Sichuan when I am young?"

  Feng Duhu said half-jokingly:

   "Shu has beautiful mountains and clear waters, the climate is suitable, surrounded by mountains on all sides, living in it, leisurely and contented, young men who are not strong-willed, may easily wear down their fighting spirit."

  Deng Liang didn't know whether he thought Feng Duhu was joking this time, or if he really didn't agree:

   "My little brother doesn't think so. For example, this time to control Jingzhou's food, my little brother has been waiting for this day."

   As he spoke, there was fighting spirit in his eyes:

   "The younger brother's family is all from Jingzhou, especially the adults and mother, who are getting older. Their greatest wish is to return to their hometown in Jingzhou in this life."

   "Brother, if you really want to control Jingzhou's grain, the day when the big man regains Jingzhou is not far away, right?"

   Deng Liang's eyes were bright.

   "Don't worry. It's better to destroy Wei State first. It's not easy to fight only from Yong'an to Jingzhou."

  If it was easy to fight, the first emperor would have fought it down long ago.

   If it is said to attack Yong'an from Jingzhou, it will be very difficult.

   Then attacking Jingzhou from Yong'an is also seven or eight points difficult-especially in the case of Lu Xun.

   "A thousand miles of rivers and tombs returned in one day" is just a poet's romance.

  In fact, from Yongan to Jiangling, not only the mountain road has eighteen bends, but the waterway also has eighteen bends.

  Walking by water, there are many dangerous waters and shoals.

  Going by land, there are also many rugged mountain roads.

  It is a very big test for the morale and logistics of the army.

  However, Feng Duhu also knew that without the suppression of the prime minister, many people in the Jingzhou faction were already ready to move.

   Not to mention the big man now, he is not the big man in the past.

  The state of Wei is about to be defeated by the big man. The successive victories over the years have swelled not only the country, but also confidence.

   Fighting one more country of Wu is no longer unimaginable for some people.

   "Besides, the students who went to Jiangdong to learn how to maneuver a boat have not come back yet. Some movements should not be overdone."

   "After waiting for so many years, my little brother doesn't care about waiting for a few more years." Deng Liang was still calm, "It's just those students, I remember that they should come back this year, right?"

   "I need to study for one more year." Feng Duhu smiled, "Who asked the people of Wu to borrow so many things? Just treat it as interest."

   It is horses and food, armor and weapons.

  Hands are short, but mouths are soft.

   Taking so many things from the big man and letting the students of the academy stay for an extra year, can Emperor Wu still say no?

  When Deng Liang heard this, he calculated the time of correspondence between Chang'an and Jianye, and he understood:

   "Is this Ma Youchang's idea?"

   "Exactly." Feng Duhu nodded, and said with some emotion, "I sent Ma Youchang to Jiangdong, but I didn't expect him to do this."

  Nowadays at Jianye, many people know that there is a celebrity from Jingzhou who is informal and unrestrained.

  You can make friends with traffickers and pawns at the bottom, and you can talk and laugh at the powerful and important officials at the top.

  He is warm-hearted and generous.

  Even people like Lv Yi, the school official, Fuzhong secretary, can be friends with him, and even call him "Mr. Ma".

   "Ma Youchang is also a person that the prime minister values ​​anyway. Although he may be exaggerating, he may not be good at leading soldiers, but he should be considered talented."

   Celebrities, don't most of them rely on their lips?

  Before the prime minister was alive, he often introduced and talked with Ma You, often from day to night.

   It can be seen that Ma Youchang is also a good speaker.

   It may not be possible to be eloquent, but if you can speak well, you should be able to afford it.

  Deng Liang looked at Feng Duhu again, and said with a smile:

   "Besides, whoever has elder brother and Xinghan will support him, if he still can't make a show, wouldn't it be shameful?"

  Feng Duhu also laughed, and he pointed at Deng Liang helplessly:

   "Weizhe, between you and me, there is no need to flatter like this."

   "This is not flattery."

  Even though it has been more than ten years since he called Feng Guiwang his brother, Deng Zhi's gaze still contained a little admiration:

   "A few years ago, my elder brother helped Wu State's school affairs office. Who would have expected that the school affairs office can help us so much now?"

   "Actually, I didn't expect this." Feng Duhu waved his hand, but he didn't take the credit, "I just thought that the school affairs office would make people hate ghosts in Wu."

   "What the enemy hates is what I like. That's why I wanted to support them. I didn't expect to be able to open a hole in the country of Wu."

   To Sun Quan, the school office is called a retainer if it sounds good, and a slave if it sounds bad.

  There are many similarities with the group of eunuchs in the time of Emperor Huanling of the Later Han Dynasty.

  The biggest difference may be whether there is any meat in the crotch.

  Both are attached to the imperial power and exist.

  If you are favored, you will be above Jiuqing, if you are not favored, you will fall below Jiuyuan.

   But no matter whether they are flesh or not, they are all villains who manipulate power and seek personal gain.

   Otherwise, Pan Jun would not have provoked Pan Jun to threaten to kill Lu Yi.

   It can be seen from this that the resentment of Wu Guoqun officials towards the school affairs office is comparable to that of scholar-bureaucrats towards eunuchs during the disaster of the Later Han Dynasty.

  Pan Jun, who wanted to kill Lu Yi, was originally a Jingzhou official appointed by the late emperor.

  After the Wu people captured Jingzhou, all the generals and officials of Jingzhou surrendered.

   Especially Pan Jun was not only deeply trusted by Sun Quan, but also reused.

  Pan Jun also reciprocated, and was extremely loyal to Sun Quan.

  In the troubled times, this kind of thing is nothing at all.

  After all, a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses a master to work on.

  But from Ji Han's point of view, it's a bit brooding.

  So in Feng Guiwang's view, since Pan Jun is so loyal to Wu and you can't wait to kill Lu Yi, then I will support him.

  If Sun Quan can do disgusting things, why can't I?

  I can't disgust Sun Quan now, but it's okay to disgust you loyal ministers of Wu.

   "Lv Yi and others asked me for personal favors, but they are loyal to Sun Quan after all."

   "If one day, they find out that their brother has another purpose, what will they think?"

  Feng Duhu smiled triumphantly:

   "I don't think there will be such a day. Anyway, I never thought about asking Lu Yi and others to do something for us."

   "According to what the school government has done before, what they want to do is actually what we are happy to see."

   "Anyway, the big man doesn't need Wu's cooperation anymore, and he can deal with Wei thieves. I don't expect Sun Quan to lead the army to break Hefei."

   "So it's better to let Lu Yi lead the school affairs office and let Wu Guo continue to fight internally."

  Others dare to think about dealing with Wei thief and Wu Guo at the same time. Feng Duhu thinks it is normal for a big man to deal with Wei thief alone, right?

  Deng Longjiu was in Jincheng, so he didn't know much about the center.

  Hearing Feng Duhu's words at this time, he already understood a little bit.

  It seems that the big man already has too much hope for Wu Guo not to report.

  In other words, the princes of the court believe that the current big man can destroy the Wei thief by himself.

  In fact, not only the princes of the court, but also the mistress of Weiyang Palace reported this kind of confidence.

   "Don't want to marry a daughter, but want to marry a princess?"

  Empress Zhang sat on the bamboo mat, looked at Mrs. Feng and Zhang, with a slightly displeased expression on her face:

   "What is Feng Mingwen thinking? He doesn't like his daughter to be...the princess?"

   Originally, I wanted to talk about being a queen, but I think that His Majesty is now in his prime.

  I am still very young, so it is not good to say that the daughter of the Feng family should be the queen.

  So subconsciously changed her words to say that she was the princess.

   "He's not unhappy, he just dotes on his daughter, saying that he lets her choose."

  Although both sisters are surnamed Zhang, one is Liu Zhang and the other is Feng Zhang.

  Madam You naturally wants to speak for her A Lang.

   "Besides, isn't it marriage? Marrying a prince is no different than marrying a princess..."

   Before Madam You finished speaking, she was directly interrupted by the Queen:

   "What do you mean there is no difference? Can marrying a prince be the same as marrying a princess?"

   "You didn't say that before." Mrs. You muttered a little dissatisfied.

   "You also said that was in the past!" The queen raised her voice, staring at Madam You, a little annoyed, "Now you are Madam You!"

   "Even if Your Majesty marries another princess to the Feng Mansion, what's the point?"

   "But if the crown prince marries Feng's daughter, and you are in Feng's house, then it's called being one with each other, understand?"

   "I don't understand!" Mrs. You also has a temper, she deliberately didn't look at the queen, "A Lang and His Majesty's relationship between monarch and minister is extraordinary."

   "Sister, you are too troublesome, so you have to let someone marry your daughter, so you can rest assured?"

   "What nonsense are you talking about? What is troublesome? How can I worry about it?"

  The queen scolded, and seeing Mrs. You's complexion was not good-looking, and knew that she was angry, so she couldn't help but slow down her tone:

   "You and I are dear sisters. Why do I want the crown prince to marry the daughter of the Feng family? Don't you know the reason?"

   "This matter is not only beneficial to the prince, but also beneficial to the Feng family."

   "Since you are married into the Feng family, you should make a good plan for the future of the Feng family..."

  When Mrs. You heard the Queen's words, she became more and more impatient:

   "What plan does the Feng family need? To put it bluntly, even if the Feng family starts all over again, are they afraid?"

   "Alang these years, what did you rely on to get started? When did you rely on marriage?"

   "Sister, I am a member of the Feng family now, you always ask me to do these things, have you never thought about how difficult it is for me?"

   Thinking of her dilemma in the mansion, she felt more aggrieved:

   "I didn't say I didn't want to marry, I just said that both of them like it. A Lang's words have been said to this extent, don't you understand, sister?"

   "You have been hiding the prince in the palace, what good is it for the prince? How is this different from being born in the deep palace and growing up in the hands of a woman?"

   "The first emperor started at the end of the century, fought in the world for dozens of years, and finally established his country in Shu. Your Majesty was born in a troubled time, and he was almost lost in the chaos when he was a baby."

   "It was not easy to ascend the throne at a time of crisis without being weak, since I grew up in Jingzhou when I was young, and then went to Shu with the late emperor."

   "Where is A Lang? Both civil and military are few people can match, Mrs. Feng Jiazuo, Your Majesty personally awarded the title of General Zhendong."

  Madam You pointed to herself again, "Even if it's me, Madam You, it's not too bad, right? At least I've helped Alang all these years."

   "Tell me, born into such a family, how bad is Shuang Shuang?"

   "And what about the prince? Has he seen what it looks like outside the palace with his own eyes? Ever since you were a child, you wished you could hold him in your hands all the time so that he wouldn't suffer any grievances."

  My sister has had such a hard time getting such a son for many years, it is understandable to spoil the prince.

   "As a subject, Alang is indeed not qualified to comment on the affairs of the palace, but as an adult of Shuangshuang, do you think he will feel at ease and just hand over his daughter to the crown prince?"

  Madam You let out a long breath after she crackled and said such a sentence.

  I just feel that some grievances and resentments that have been buried in my heart for a long time have finally come out.

  The queen did not expect Madam You's emotions to explode suddenly.

  She looked at Zhang Xingyi blankly, as if she felt that the sister in front of her was a little strange.

   It's just that she is a generation of heroines after all.

   "Born in a deep palace, grew up in a woman's hands?"

  The queen repeated Madam You's words, her face was a bit complicated.

  Since the conversation has been said, You Fu no longer hides it, and said:

   "Born in a deep palace, grew up in the hands of a woman. I have never known sorrow, I have never known sorrow, I have never known labor, I have never known fear, I have never known danger."

  The language comes out of "Xunzi · Duke Ai".

   "Sister, you don't know, the education in the Feng Mansion is extremely strict, even if Ah Chong is the eldest son, even if both are daughters."

   "However, if the two of them do not study well on weekdays, it is common for them to be beaten. Moreover, the tiger girl of the Guan family did it herself, so they were almost hung up and whipped."

   "The prince has grown so big, are you willing to let him go through the board once?"

  The queen stared at Madam You, and suddenly asked:

   "Are these words said by Feng Mingwen, or in your heart?"

  Madam You didn't seem to understand the meaning of the queen's words, and the expression on her face was full of indifference:

   "Sister, are you underestimating me? A Lang and I have known each other for more than ten years. Don't I know what kind of person he is?"

   "Others are rare in the position of crown princess, will he be rare? Compared with it, he is afraid that he wants his daughter to marry a lover who suits his heart."

   "You mean, the crown prince is not a good man?" The queen's face became a little gloomy.

   "Is it a beloved person? Now that I'm still young, who can tell?"

  Others are afraid of the appearance of the queen, but Mrs. You is not afraid, and she also has the confidence to not be afraid:

   "Now there are only our two sisters here, sister, let's talk about private things, my own nephew, sister, do you think if this continues, can you become a lover?"
