Chapter 786: Kneeling down to the dust, begging for obedience

Feng Ang laughed, still maintained the etiquette of kneeling on one knee, and said loudly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, Lingnan pursues Gu cultivation, and the old minister has no other skills, that is, the ability to give birth to sons is strong, I have more than seventy sons, how can Your Majesty kill one?" ”

He raised his eyes to look at Han Yue as he spoke, and then said, "Besides, the old minister you killed can probably guess who it is, such a stupid son is not successful enough to fail, so he will die." ”

Han Yue was dumbfounded, and the ministers were also dumbfounded.

After Han Yue was stunned for a while, he suddenly turned his head and asked Li Chong, "How did you report before?" You said that the Hundred Cavalry Division investigated that Wu Guogong had more than forty sons, how did this suddenly become more than seventy, is it time for the Hundred Cavalry Division to rectify it? ”

Li Chong hurriedly took out a booklet from his arms, opened it and flipped through it carefully.

Then the thing looked at Han Yue with a confused face, and whispered: "Your Majesty, that's right, the investigation of the Hundred Cavalry Division is very clear, Feng An... Well, Wu Guogong really has sixty-two male heirs, twenty of whom have attacked each other and died, and forty-two are left, and there are six out of twenty female heirs, of whom seventeen are married......"

In the distance, Feng Ang laughed, continued to maintain the etiquette of kneeling on one knee, and explained arrogantly: "Your Majesty, don't doubt it, your investigation of the Hundred Cavalry Division is not wrong, it's just that it was eight months ago, and now Lao Chen has given birth to thirty more children." ”

"I'm Nima...... Thirty more? Or was it born in eight months? ”

Han Yue almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and his eyes looked at the white hair between Feng An's temples in a daze.

Feng Ang laughed again and said: "Your Majesty sees that the minister is old, so he has some doubts in his heart, ahhahaha, the people of Lingnan are too miserable, and many women who do not marry die of hunger, although the minister is old and disabled, but as long as there is still a trace of strength, I have to save a few." ”

This seems to be bold, but there is an inexplicable sadness in the tone.

Han Yue's eyes suddenly froze, and he noticed that Feng An's left arm sleeve was actually empty, and then thought that this person was already gray-haired, and it was really old and crippled.

But the sadness hidden in Feng An's tone should not be this, but something else that made him sad in his heart......

Han Yue grasped the meaning of the other party's words, and suddenly said, "Wu Guogong feels haggard? ”

He didn't let Feng Ang get up from beginning to end, Feng Ang even respectfully kept kneeling on one knee, but this old man, who was nine years older than Li Shimin, did not feel embarrassed, but instead gave his hand again with a long sigh, and said with a gloomy face: "Your Majesty is right, the minister is really haggard, I heard eight months ago that you were going south, and immediately married more than 30 women in a row, not for greed and lust, just to let the tribe from which these women were born, the ministers and their families come over, and they can enjoy Your Majesty's gifts......"

These words were a little shameless, but Han Yue felt sad in his heart, he understood and understood.

What Feng Ang said was that he had been waiting for Han Yue to leave Lingnan for a long time, and then immediately rushed over with his family, this old man was Li Yuan's personal title of the Duke of the Kingdom, and he would definitely give a reward and a generous gift if he defected.

The old man himself didn't care about the reward, but he was in a hurry to marry more than 30 women, and if he married a woman in Lingnan, he had to take care of the tribe behind the woman, and this old man wanted to use Han Yue's ability to raise more people.

As for the children who were born, it was probably not even Feng An's own baby......

Maybe those women secretly had husbands, just marrying Feng Ang under a name, and then borrowing this old man's defection to the righteousness, so that Han Yue could help shepherd the tribesmen.

The Son of Heaven has the responsibility of protecting all the people, but when he shelters, he is also divided into distant and close relatives, and the people of Lingnan are far away after all, so this Wu Guogong made this decision.

He exhaled slowly, his eyes suddenly showed the color of memory, and muttered: "When the Great Sui was in the past, the old minister was also a Huohuo general in the court, he had accompanied Emperor Yang to the east to conquer Goryeo, and he had a prancing horse in Dongyi to raise his whip, and then the world gradually became chaotic, and the minister did not want to fight with the same clan in the Central Plains, so he moved a group of people here!" I don't want to fight the world and be the emperor, I just want to watch the people under my command eat and drink, the mother will not cry because her son died in battle, and the old man will die and have children and grandchildren to dress and send him to the end......"

Han Yue couldn't help but nodded, and his heart gradually developed admiration for this old countryman.

You must know that Feng Ang was the Zijin Guanglu doctor of the Great Sui back then, and he was also the general of Zuo Wuwei, with great military power in his hands, and there were also many talents under his command, this person's initial strength and status were stronger than Li Yuan, and he could be called the pinnacle of the Great Sui court.

If he also participated in the war in the Central Plains of Zhuolu, then the end of the Sui Dynasty would not be as simple as the eighteen-way anti-king, and it should become the nineteen-way anti-king, so that the people might die more.

But this prince couldn't bear to raise his sword and fight with his fellow clansmen, so he chose to take people to Lingnan, and coming to Lingnan is tantamount to self-exile, which is tantamount to a national hero.

Han Yue suddenly raised his arm, and said solemnly: "Wu Guogong, it's cold on the ground, you and I see each other for the first time today, we should have a long talk, you stand up first, let's talk slowly if you have anything to say......

This is tantamount to recognizing Feng An's intention to no longer treat the other party as an enemy.

Not only did Feng Ang not stand up, but instead changed from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees, and suddenly kowtowed to Han Yue, and let out a whining cry from his mouth.

After kowtowing, he still knelt on the ground, but he reached out and wiped his eyes vigorously, raised his head and looked directly at Han Yue.

The white-haired old man held his head high, and suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, please stretch out your hand, Lingnan is too poor to eat." Lao Chen is a martial artist, it is okay to lead soldiers to fight, but it is not okay to govern the territory, more than 30 years have passed in a blink of an eye, what was it like when I first came, and it is almost what it is now! Your Majesty, on behalf of the 9.7 million poor people in Lingnan, I beg you, we want to integrate into the Chinese Empire, and we want to be people who can eat well......"

Han Yue was stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned over and jumped off the horse.

He walked all the way over, and solemnly helped Feng Ang up with both hands.

The corners of Feng An's eyes were obviously moist, and he continued to look at Han Yue with a longing face, and suddenly began to cry again, choking up: "The people who follow me are hungry every day, and the local natives are also hungry every day, Your Majesty, do you know why the old minister is crazy and marries his wife?" I'm putting pressure on myself! Every time I married an additional woman, I told myself to try to take care of their mothers, and I married more than a hundred wives in thirty years, but unfortunately I could no longer afford to marry one or two more. ”

This is a great sage who truly serves the country and the people......

It may be too hypocritical for many people to stay in later generations, but there are indeed not a few people who are so open-minded in ancient times, and there are people in every era who feel that as long as they see that the people are not full, he will feel that he is ashamed of the people.

It is a pity that the people of later generations are blinded by money, and there are very few such tragic characters, it is said that there is an actor surnamed Tianle on Hong Kong Island who is very good, and he goes to pick up some bad dramas with infamy on his back, just to get more paid to do good deeds.

The actor surnamed Gu established many hope primary schools in obscurity, but he never went around publicizing what he had done, but every time he saw a child in the mountains who couldn't eat, the actor surnamed Gu would silently shed tears.

……

……

Feng Ang was still looking at Han Yue with longing on his face, as if he had waited for a long time, he never saw Han Yue nodding in agreement, and the white-haired old man's face was a little gloomy.

He couldn't help but want to pull Han Yue's hand, but he raised it in the air but put it down, and pleaded softly: "Your Majesty, are you really unwilling to help?" We don't want to be happy with you, we just want to be happy with you, we don't starve to death, and the people have enough to eat, and they are very satisfied to live......"

Han Yue frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "What Wu Guogong said, I always feel a little unbelievable when I hear it. I brought people here to appreciate the suffering of Lingnan, the problem of eating is indeed a big problem, but it is not something that cannot be solved, Guogong, you have been sitting in Lingnan for 30 years, haven't you found that this place is full of wealth? ”

Han Yue paused when he said this, suddenly stretched out his hand to guide the party, and said to Feng Ang in a deep voice: "There is Zhancheng rice not far to the south, as long as it is transplanted and promoted among the people, at least three seasons of grain can be harvested in a year, and it can be planted for a few years to ensure that the granary is filled." Lingnan is close to the sea, there are fish in the sea, you can catch the net at will, Lingnan is mountainous, the mountains are rich in fruits, as long as the people are mobilized to pick, how can there be no starvation to death. ”

He looked at Feng Ang with blazing eyes, and finally said with deep meaning: "I can get food when I first arrive, why do you starve to death after thirty years in town?" ”

Feng Ang was stunned and stupid, and it took a long time before he muttered: "The local ministers of Zhancheng have been there, and they are poor everywhere, and they have never seen rice that can be harvested for three seasons?" As for fishing in the sea? Your Majesty, people can't always eat fish all year round, Lao Chen once ate for three months in order to save food, but in the end he couldn't bear it anymore, and he wanted to vomit when he smelled fish......"

Saying that, he sighed, glanced at Han Yue with a wry smile, and said with a helpless face: "The minister is a military general with a tough personality, but I can't hold on to it after eating it for three months, and if I change to ordinary people, they won't be able to hold on for even a month......"

Han Yue was stunned, and suddenly felt that he had made a big joke.

He suddenly remembered that the Champa rice had not yet been discovered in this era, and that kind of rice could indeed be harvested three times a year, but now it was still left as a weed in the wasteland of Champa.

The same is true for the problem of fish, because of the mixed living of the indigenous people in Lingnan, it is easy for the Central Plains people to be indigenized after coming here, and the cooking skills of the past are gradually lost.

In this era, not to mention Lingnan, even the Central Plains do not eat much fish, because of the lack of cooking means and various ingredients, so it is impossible to get rid of the fishy smell of fish and shrimp.

It is definitely possible to eat it, but few people can eat boiled fish for a month in a row, even if they can eat it for a month, can they eat it for two months?

What about three months, a year, ten years?

Therefore, although Lingnan is rich in fish resources, it cannot become the staple food of the people.

Feng Ang suddenly knelt on the ground again with a puff, and said loudly: "The minister's ancestral home is Gaozhou, and he also has the blood of the Han people in his bones. ”

This white-haired old man knelt down several times for the sake of the people, completely ignoring that he was a figure of the same era as Li Yuan.

……

…… The first update, 3200 words, mark, Feng Ang is indeed a national hero in history, he took people to Lingnan during the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and then helped the Han people to sit there for generations, making great contributions to national unification, and can be called a real hero.
