Seeing Altai nodding in agreement, Haibal was secretly happy. He continued: "To be honest with you, I also secretly invited representatives of the Redis and Sisluo Empires, the overlords of the West Tengger Grassland, to come. Attending our meetings, they have all made it clear that they are willing to support us against the Luobei and our evil neighbor to the east, Li Wufeng, when the time comes of course. And I have also been a matchmaker for the Mot and the Heathrow in the hope that they will Put aside past grudges and work together, and we can even provide appropriate assistance when necessary."
"Although Li Wufeng signed an agreement with the Luobei people, they have deep grudges. The conflicts between the two parties cannot be resolved in a day or two, and it is impossible to cooperate sincerely. What's more, there is Yinchuan to the north of Li Wufeng. The government is a thorn in the side, and there are still many problems in the governance of Northern Luzon, which constrains a lot of his energy. I also heard that people from Yinchuan Prefecture will also attend the meeting this time. We can also talk about cooperation in detail by then. Matters." Haibal showed a confident smile on his face.
Altai sighed secretly. The old guy Haibar was indeed very powerful. He could actually bring in the Redis and the Sisluans, and he could also act as a mediator for the Morts and the Sisluans. It seemed that he was very interested in establishing this alliance. The army took a lot of thought, but the formation of this army is exactly what he said. At least it can increase the weight of the five countries in the Western Region in foreign negotiations. If one day they can form an alliance with the Motte and Chidi people, plus the Western Region With the support of the Sluo Empire and Yinchuan Sun Yuanliang, we may not be able to be completely independent.
Thinking of this, Altai finally agreed to Haibar's proposal, nodded and said: "I basically agree with my brother's suggestion, but it's not enough for just the two of us to agree, and there are a few others."
Haibal also nodded and said seriously: "Yes, this is the first step. We have to look for them separately. I think it is like this. Brother, please do more work for His Majesty Wusun Said. Here I will do the work of His Majesty Gaochang Yongge, and as for the work of His Majesty Kuqa Sanz, I think we should do it together."
Seeing Altai nodding in agreement, Haibal smiled happily, stood up and stretched out his arms to hug Altai in celebration, and then went out together hand in hand.
At the morning meeting the next day, the economic assistance plan for the Northern Luzon region proposed by Imperial Finance Minister Tian Yi was finally decided by His Majesty the Emperor himself after repeated debates among many ministers, granting the entire Northern Luzon region a one-time grant of 800 yuan. Financial support for the development of Wan Empire Gold Coin.
Wu Feng expressed sincere gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor on behalf of the nearly two million people in Northern Luzon. He also said that the imperial officials in Northern Luzon will not betray His Majesty the Emperor's trust and will take this opportunity to strive to develop the local area. Economy, building Northern Luzon into a powerful barrier on the western frontier of the empire.
Finally, Wu Feng proposed that since he had been stationed in the western frontier of the Western Empire for many years and had gone through many wars, he was very tired physically and mentally. He begged the Emperor to allow him to rest in the imperial capital for a period of time. He also hoped that His Majesty the Emperor could approve his leave, saying that he was going to Jiangnan. The area traveled for a while and a memorial was submitted. After consulting Ning Yuanwang, He Zhiqiu and other important ministers, His Majesty the Emperor finally agreed to Wu Feng's request and allowed him to rest in the imperial capital for a period of time, and asked him to consider his marriage.
"My lord, I'm afraid that your move of retreating into advancement still cannot completely dispel His Majesty the Emperor's suspicions, not to mention that there are many ministers who are dissatisfied with you and are looking around His Majesty the Emperor." There was no trace of Gu Ji's solemn expression. smile.
This is a secret residence of Gu Ji, which is connected to a Gu's cultural relics, calligraphy and painting shop next door, so Wu Feng chose this place as a secret meeting place with Gu Ji.
"I'm not so naive. I can reassure them with this move? His Majesty the Emperor has always been gloomy. If he has a heart, it may be difficult for you to eliminate his suspicions for a while. But what can I do? I also want to go back earlier. The situation in Northern Luzon has just stabilized, the economy still needs to be rebuilt, and there is still a lot of military construction that has not been carried out. Originally, I thought that my strength was almost there, but now it seems that the strength of the army still needs to be improved. Strengthen. But do you think I can still survive in this situation? It’s better to submit a letter asking for a vacation and be generous." Wu Feng shook his head with a wry smile.
"If you insist on returning to the northwest right now, I'm afraid it will only make His Majesty the Emperor more suspicious. That's fine. You can also take a good rest in the capital and relax yourself. Relaxation is the way to go. It's the spring festival soon. There are a lot of activities in the capital, everything is available, you can enjoy it to your heart's content. As for the northwest and northern Luzon, I think with Xiao Tang and Ling Tianfang in charge, and Su Qin assisting on the side, there won't be any big problems." Gu Ji laughed. With relief and no front.
"Oh, that's all I can do. I really didn't expect that I would be so hated in this court, and so many people would attack me. It seems that I have to reflect on myself. By the way, I think our imperial capital The intelligence network in the capital is not detailed enough, and sometimes many small details can often reflect certain big problems. I am going to strengthen the intelligence system in the capital to avoid unnecessary loopholes." Wu Feng said slowly.
"Well, I've also noticed this. Due to our status, Miss Angel and I often only know about some major affairs in the DPRK. This small aspect is our weakness. I knew it when you asked me to pay attention to this aspect yesterday. The suggestions you made are very good, but these children must be carefully selected and trained. After all, they are too young. If they really fall into the hands of others, there will be a lot of trouble. Even choosing their person in charge must be After careful consideration, you must choose a reliable and shrewd person to take charge." Guji has a deep understanding of this aspect.
"Sir, are you back?" A clear voice sounded outside the door.
"Miss Qin is back. Your Excellency has just come back and seems to be practicing calligraphy in Zhengzi's study." A soft voice replied.
"Hey, didn't I tell you a long time ago? As for Miss Qin and Miss Gu, you can call me Shuangying or Aying, and I'll call you Atty. Didn't we agree?"
The crisp voice outside the door was naturally Qin Shuangying, and the soft voice was of course Charlotte. The girls were similar in age, and Charlotte had a very docile personality. The three girls soon started talking about anything. Of course they did. A lot of content is about Wu Feng.
"Oh, I forgot again, I'd better call you Shuangying. I really thought you were not in a good mood when you came back, and now you are practicing calligraphy in the study."
"Practice calligraphy?! Hey, how can he practice calligraphy with his hand? It's like it's made up of branches and sticks. It boils down to one sentence, baring its teeth and claws! He doesn't accept criticism from others! You don't know, I heard last time He relied on his power to inscribe an inscription on the Northwest Military Academy, but was criticized by Lord Moren and his subordinates. He got so angry that he demanded compensation for the so-called damage to his reputation."
"No way? Your Excellency doesn't seem to be that kind of person."
Waves of clear words came from outside the room, which made Wu Feng, who was so excited and ready to splash ink, suddenly lose his interest. You damn girl, you dare to slander your master's reputation like this. You just let Mo Lun invite you a few times. Well, how could it be known to everyone? It must have been spread by this guy Mo Lun on purpose. He will have to settle the account with Mo Lun when he gets back.
Opening the door, Wu Feng stood leaning against it, with a half-smile on his face, "Shuang Ying, why are you viciously attacking your boss when you have nothing to do?"
"Oh, it's your lord. I'm just telling the whole story of an incident in a matter-of-fact way. How can I talk about any vicious attack? Don't blame us with big hats. We can't bear it." Qin Shuangying was beaten by Wu Feng. The affectionate name made her cheeks turn red for a moment, but she immediately fought back not to be outdone.
"Hmph, you said no. Isn't it a bit too much to spread hearsay things wantonly? When I get back to Qingyang, I will call Mo Lun to confront you." Wu Feng pretended to have a serious face.
"Then when will we return to Qingyang?" Although the capital is nice, it is not his hometown after all. Qin Shuangying already felt homesick after only two days in the capital.
Wu Feng was also a little depressed, and he couldn't answer directly, so he had to change the topic, "Well, it depends on the situation. I heard that there are quite a lot of activities in the capital during the Spring Festival. If you are interested, let's go and watch it too. Look at the famous martial arts lecture forum and the Dragon and Tiger List, and listen to the comments of the so-called martial arts masters. It may be of great benefit to your kung fu, and you can also call the girl from the Gu family."
"Oh? I've also heard about this lecture on martial arts and the Dragon and Tiger List, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. In the northwest, my master told me that if I have a chance to see it, maybe it can really help me with my martial arts. What an improvement." Qin Shuangying became interested as soon as she heard this, "Then when should we go?"
"No rush, no rush. Anyway, we will stay in Beijing for a while. There are plenty of opportunities. I heard that after the Spring Festival, the DPRK will hold a competition to make friends with force. The imperial court will also select the best players in this competition. Selecting some Yulin Army soldiers, this is a good opportunity to leap over the dragon gate, and we can feast our eyes on it." Wu Feng replied with a smile.
"Okay, when the time comes, let's go together. Artie, can you go too?" Qin Shuangying said happily, and pulled Charlotte who had been silent next to her.
"I, I won't go. I'm not very interested in those fighting and killing. I think I'd better prepare meals for you at home." Seeing Wu Feng staring at her with a burning gaze, Charlotte's face showed a trace of anger. The faint blush makes her look even more charming.
"Nothing. If you are not interested in these, we can also go shopping in the clothing districts of several districts in the East District. The various top-quality clothing there are famous in the mainland. There is also the Temple Street, where the exquisite handicrafts of various ethnic groups in the mainland are You can see all the handicrafts there, even Charlotte, you may not have gone through all the shopping." Wu Feng speculated and sold in front of the beautiful woman, showing great attentiveness.
"Also, I heard that the empire's annual poetry competition will also be held in the near future. Talents from all over the empire will gather at the Empire National Art Palace. By then, you can have a glimpse of the talents from all over the world." Wu Feng pretended to appreciate both refined and popular tastes in front of the beautiful woman.
"Thank you for your kindness. Although Charlotte yearns for it very much, I heard that the items in the clothing district and Temple Street are worth thousands of gold. Even the tickets for the poetry competition are also worth a lot of money." Charlotte's face showed fascination. His expression was obviously very tempting to Wu Feng’s proposal.
"It doesn't matter. Although your brother Li is not rich, these small sums of money are not a big deal." In front of the beauty, Wu Feng was as strong as an ox and beat his chest loudly.
