A lot of flattery made Adou smile happily.

But the laughter goes away, and the worries in my heart still need to be said:

"That's what you say, but the queen also knows that Sima Yi is not a good person to deal with, let alone attacking Taihang or crossing the river. It is not easy. If there is a slight mistake, this..."

Of course, there is nothing to say about the victory. It must be that His Majesty planned the strategy and won the victory thousands of miles away. Feng Lianyin used his troops like a god and destroyed everything.

But under huge pressure, if Bingfeng suffers a slight setback, it will be difficult to say.

The public sentiment is raging, and under the influence of thousands of people, I am afraid that even the emperor himself cannot bear it, let alone the person directly responsible, Feng Dashima.

Seeing His Majesty's somewhat worried expression, the Queen finally stopped smiling and asked:

"Is this what Feng Mingwen told His Majesty?"

"Before you think about victory, think about defeat first," Adou said. He couldn't help scratching his head, as if his scalp was itchy. "But if Hebei can win in one battle, then Shandong will be out of the question."

The queen couldn't help but smile again, then shook her head with some pity and said softly:

"Then, has your Majesty ever thought about it? Now that Feng Mingwen has thought of it, he still intends to attack Hebei first. What does that mean?"

Seeing the Queen's serious expression, Adou was startled:

"What does it mean?"

"It shows that he is certainly confident." The queen held Adou's hand and emphasized her tone, "Your Majesty, Feng Mingwen has never suffered a defeat since he came out of the mountain. Isn't it worth trusting him this time?"

"Three times the Han Dynasty has been rejuvenated. Since the ministers want to fight, the emperor should encourage them. How can they be timid before fighting?"

"We were able to survive twenty years ago. Are today's big men still afraid of a mere defeat?"

When the Queen said this, Adou's spirit suddenly lifted!

That's right, twenty years ago, when life was at stake, you were able to survive. Are you still afraid of a mere defeat?

"Hey! The Queen's words really enlightened me!"

Holding the queen's hand with his backhand, Adou finally made up his mind, "If that's the case, then I'll let Feng Mingwen do it."

Since I want to fight, you should encourage me!

The queen smiled slightly and said nothing.

There was something else she said in her heart that she had not spoken out.

Victory, in the eyes of outsiders, was the result of His Majesty overcoming all opinions and allowing Feng Mingwen to fight in Hebei. His Majesty's reputation has naturally risen to a higher level.

Defeat, couldn't it be that Feng Mingwen did not fight well and failed to live up to His Majesty's high hopes?

"Your Majesty, dinner is ready."

Adou put aside his worries and took the first step with his appetite:

"Eat, eat, eat first! Hey, I can already smell the aroma of honey-roasted meat."

The Queen followed behind and explained: "I know His Majesty likes to eat this, so I specially asked someone to prepare it."

"The Queen knows me, knows me, haha!"

——

Adou solved his worries, but in the far east, Yang Hu, who had returned from Han, was quite worried.

It cannot be said that there were no gains from the trip to Chang'an.

At least I met the world-famous Feng, and I also learned about his methods.

But at the same time, his worries at this moment also came from this person - Feng Da Sima refused to accept the good intentions offered by the Yang family in advance.

The reason why it is advanced is because in today's world, no one dares to deny that Liu Han has the potential to prosper three times.

But if we really want to say that the world is settled like this, that is not necessarily the case.

The Han Dynasty was able to grow from the western frontier to what it is today, but the Wei Dynasty, which still occupies most of the Central Plains, can guarantee that it will no longer be able to occupy China?

After all, Han... is not a good choice for the great clans of the Central Plains!

As a knowledgeable member of a noble family, Yang Hu certainly knew that the current nine-level Zhongzheng system in the Wei Dynasty had gradually lost its original role, and would eventually become a tool for the noble family to control official selection.

He knew that this would not work, at least it would not be conducive to the court's selection of talents.

But he didn't want to become like the Han Dynasty.

The children of the aristocratic family have completely lost their privileges, and they have to start over from scratch, just like the common people.

Even in order to become an official, he was sent to counties and villages to work hard.

This was one of the reasons why he was unwilling to agree to Feng's appointment as an official in Han Dynasty.

But he was a little confused about how to change Da Wei's situation.

This is probably the feeling of many knowledgeable people in Wei.

Dawei, if you don’t change it, you probably won’t be able to do it.

But if you want them to learn from the Han Dynasty, you can't do it.

From the bottom of my heart, I subconsciously resisted the imperial examination system of the Han Dynasty.

It was with this confusion and worry that Yang Hu came to the Prince's Mansion in Jibei.

The current King of Jibei in Wei is Cao Zhi, the concubine of Cao Zhi.

The State of Wei strictly prohibited direct family members.

Although the kings of Cao and Wei nominally had feudal states and households, in fact the kings could not directly lead the people or collect taxes.

I can't even think about leading troops.

Even relatives and in-laws dare not communicate with each other to say hello.

As for people like Cao Zhi who participated in the seizure of the heir, every move was monitored.

As the son of Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi was actually in a very poor situation even though he had conquered the King of Jibei.

At least he is not worthy of the title of "king":

The officials and subordinates are all highly talented, the soldiers are all old and disabled, and the number of people in the kingdom who can be mobilized is no more than a hundred.

The only thing about his life that is better than that of his father, Cao Zhi, is that supervision has become looser.

Firstly, it is because the Wei State now divides the north and south of the river, and the government is in chaos, so naturally there is no intention to send more people to monitor.

Secondly, Cao Zhi and the current Wei Emperor Cao Fang are already two generations apart, so they do not pose much of a threat to the throne.

However, Cao Zhi, as his name suggests, has great ambitions and is good at riding and shooting.

Only then could he, as the second son of a concubine, seize the throne of Cao Zhi.

What happened to his father in his early years, and now seeing the state of Wei in this state, made him extremely angry.

However, because of his status as a clan member, he could not use his talents. The cruel blow of reality made him finally understand the situation over the years, so he simply failed.

Don't say that you are like your lord, who still has illusions about Cao Pi's lineage and has repeatedly written letters to give advice and suggestions.

He didn't even bother to take care of his own palace:

The Wei Dynasty has become like this when he married his mother. What do I, the King of Jibei of the Wei Dynasty, mean in front of him?

It’s just a joke!

So when I looked through Yang Hu's greetings, the look on Cao Zhi's face was quite strange:

"How strange! This Taiyang family actually knows about me, the King of Jibei?"

It is definitely an exaggeration to say that the Taiyang family did not know the King of Jibei.

Because Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County both belong to Yanzhou, and the two places are adjacent to each other.

But over the years, the Taiyang clan has not sent any of the famous family members in the Central Plains like Yang Hu to visit, but even ordinary children have not.

After all, Cao Zhi's identity is indeed sensitive.

Moreover, these aristocratic families all know that the kings have no soldiers and no power, and they cannot even recruit any of the people in their own kingdoms.

What's the use of going to make friends?

Arouse the suspicion of the court for nothing?
