The old palace in Beijing has a history of hundreds of years. Although it has been repaired several times, it has not changed much. The old house naturally comes with a kind of quietness, in the deep palace, even if there is a severe summer heat outside, the hall is very clean and lonely.

It's just that the coolness seems to have penetrated into the cracks of the bones, coupled with the face of Emperor Changzhi's rain, which makes Fu Shen's old cold legs start to ache.

"Your Majesty, the North is settled, the people are in urgent need of recuperation, and the new imperial court policy has just begun to implement. Shushu bluntly, at this time is not a good time to mobilize troops. The southwest issue can be set aside for a period of time before the imperial court recovers, and it is not too late.

Emperor Changzhi snorted, his face was gloomy, and he obviously didn't hear it.

Fu Shen had no mental preparation for the present scene. He knew that Emperor Changzhi had sent messengers to the southwest, but he did not know that Duan Guihong had made the emperor's qi like this-he entered the door under the scorching sun, and the emperor Changzhi greeted his head and covered his face. The king of Xiping County will turn back every day. Fu Qing, this banner of troop rebellion will be handed to you. "

It was only after Fu Shen asked it carefully. According to the old system, May and June should be the day of tribute for each country. In the past few years, the court was busy fighting wars and had no time to manage these matters. Orthodox law was restored this year. Several foreign envoys came to pay homage during Zhengdan. Some tributes have arrived in Beijing a few days ago. This was something to be pleased with, but Emperor Changzhi was concerned about Southwest China recently, and carefully read the gift list presented by the Ministry of Rites.

I do n’t know. At a glance, I found that the three tribes Guoannan, Zhenla and Linyi that bordered the southwest were like appointments. They did n’t come in Zhengdan, nor did they pay tribute!

Emperor Changzhi was very frustrated, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites ordered to find out what was going on. Who knew that the Special Envoy of the Ministry of Rites had not yet waited for the envoys of the Three Kingdoms to arrive late.

The state wrote magnificently, but there was only one central idea: the three kingdoms had to dissolve patriarchal relations with Da Zhou, sit on an equal footing, and then no longer claim tribute to Da Zhou.

These three knives are in the pain of Emperor Changzhi. He was not happy for the King of Xiping County. At this time, the Three Kingdoms suddenly came out and said that it was not Duan Guihong. Who believed?

Fu Shen did not think that Emperor Changzhi was a stubborn person, maybe it was the illusion that Yan Xiaohan gave him, so he still pinned his hope on the truth and moved with affection: "Your Majesty Rong Ye. Annan and other countries suddenly have this This is indeed incredible, but it may not necessarily be related to the southwest. The court has not communicated with other countries for several years, and there may be other hidden feelings. If you do n’t check the facts, you will rush into the army and lose your charity. Think twice. "

"Fu Qing," Emperor Changzhi suddenly said, coolly and honestly, "Do you think that He is not forgiving enough to the King of Xiping County?"

Fu Shen: "Don't dare."

"The Jiedushi enlisted military power, wanted to protect themselves, and entered the temple, and they all agreed," said Emperor Changzhi. "If Southwest China returns to the Central Plains, it will be treated the same way, why would he refuse?"

Fu Shen secretly glanced at Emperor Changzhi, who looked like water, and sighed silently in his heart, predicting that it would be another storm.

Although Duan Guihong is not a bit of hatred for the Da Zhou royal family, it is estimated that he will never surrender his surname to his surname Sun in his lifetime. It's just that Fu Shen knows the hidden emotions behind him, but others don't. Judging from the current stalemate between the two parties, it seems that the King of Xiping County did not want to be subject to the control of the Emperor, and was prepared to stand on his own, and vice versa.

"Duan Guihong has been operating in the southwest for many years, known as the" King of the Southwest ", and the Central Plains is in chaos, but he is a land emperor in the Southwest. These emperors can tolerate," said Emperor Changzhi, and finally moved the fire. , Shoot the case and said: "I sent messengers to the southwest twice and gave him his face, but what about him? He put his face under his feet and stepped on it!"

Fu Shen had nothing to say and had to say, "Your Majesty is angry."

Emperor Changzhi sneered: "I think I can see it. Duan Guihong doesn't look down on the court's small favor and small favors. He has long been rebellious. According to the southwestern province, he cultivates his energy and then forms an alliance with the three countries. Then he can stand on his own The king, who dominates, is on an equal footing with the court. "

"Keeping tigers afflicted," he mumbled to himself, "what a tiger is afflicted with."

"Your Majesty," Fu Shen said in silence for a moment before finally persuading, "King of Xiping County ..."

"Fu Qing doesn't need to say any more," said Emperor Changzhi gloomily. "I know that he was His Majesty Ying Guo, the old part of your Northern Yan Army. Fu Qing went back and thought about it. Don't hurt Bei Yan for a chaotic thief The loyalty of the army. "

Fu Shen's face froze for a moment, then immediately returned to his expressionless expression, bowing down, "I would like to obey His Majesty's teachings, Wei Chen resigned."

The sunlight outside was overwhelming, and Fu Shen came out with a chill, was hit by a heat wave, and his temples suddenly felt like a pain. The palace wall was dazzling with red eyes. Before walking a few steps, I met a red robe official who was even more dazzling than the palace wall. The two eyes crossed and looked at each other.

Although there has not been a head-to-head confrontation, due to various reasons, the official department Shangshu, Xue Sheng and Xue Xue who have a deep grudge with Fu Shen.

Xue Sheng is actually not too old and not very old, but he is lined with General Fu's handsome Fu, a bit indescribable. The two were silent, embarrassed, and finally Xue Sheng arched his hands at him, Fu Shen greeted the first salute, and the two passed by indifferently.

Out of the palace gate, the carriage from the house was waiting outside. Before Fu Shen was approaching, Xiao Xun, who was enjoying himself under the tree, suddenly ran to him, saluting neatly, "Good grandpa."

The coachman saw that he was stopped, jumped out of the car and planned to come over, but was stopped by Fu Shen with a gesture. He lowered his head and asked the little sister: "What's the matter?"

"My grandfather is waiting for you here, please ask Grandpa Grandpa to have a drink in Jinghe Lou in the evening." Xiaoxi respectfully presented his name card with both hands: "This is my grandfather's name card, you will know at a glance . "

Fu Shen glanced at the word "Kuangshan Academy" and immediately understood it. He calmly put the famous post in his sleeve and nodded his head and said, "I see. Go back and tell your master. That would be disrespectful. "

Jinghelou is a long-established brand, and Huaiyang cuisine is a must in Beijing. When Fu Shen came in, someone was waiting in the room. Gu Shanlu, dressed in casual clothes, stood up to welcome him: "The general is here, please come in quickly."

Farewell last time outside of the city, Gu Shanlu was still a weak little prince. After some chaos, he was reused by Emperor Changzhi in Jiangnan, and was promoted to the head of the Ducai Academy, ranking among the nine ministers of Yanying Hall. One. After returning to Beijing, he is still sitting in the Metropolitan Superintendent's Office, he is impeaching the picket, and the news is happening.

This man's position is very subtle. He is from Jiangnan, but he is not a child of Gaomen. When he was young, he entered Kuangshan Academy to study. He studied under Zeng Guang. Gu Shanlu had been obscured before. The first case was in the case of the East League mission, but the mission was overdue. His teacher was sent to jail, and he was burned for more than half a year. In the end, Fu Shentuo Yan Xiaohan took him. The teacher took it out.

Therefore, when Gu Shanlu was in the Jinling court, he always stood on the same line with the old ministers in the north, but the Jiangnan upstart was different to him. After waiting for the capital, he repeatedly showed his favor and tried to get a helping hand for the Jiangnan faction in Yanying Hall.

Although they are not liked by courtiers, they are indeed a great weapon for dealing with political opponents.

However, Gu Shanlu always has an ambiguous attitude. Looking at the gentle and elegant, the city government is not shallower than the old foxes, except for now-

"Xiaguan is an imperial history, and it is inconvenient to communicate with the general in the open. Therefore, I would like to forgive this strategy. Today I took the liberty to ask the army to come, because of His Majesty's concern recently."

Fu Shen turned his wine glass with his fingers. He was not surprised when he opened the door and asked calmly, "He has also found you?"

"Yes," Gu Shanlu filled him with wine. "His Majesty wants to mobilize troops in the southwest, and he must first obtain the consent of Yanying Palace. Now 48 court officials seem to be scattered. In fact, there are only a few leaders. He is one of them. After a temptation, we can roughly understand the attitude of Yanying Temple. "

"Your Majesty wants me to lead," Fu Shen said. "I persuaded for a long time without persuading."

Gu Shanlu smiled bitterly: "When I entered the palace in the morning, His Majesty was furious over the affairs of the three kingdoms of Annan. He instructed all the courts to impeach the king of Xiping County, so that he could be regarded as a famous teacher. And this matter, I see Yanying Hall I really don't necessarily object. "

Fu Shen: "I would like to hear the details."

Gushan Green Road: "Self-reliance in the southwest is harmless to the imperial court. One is that it is too close to Jingchu and Lingnan. If the king of Xiping County wants to expand its influence, these two places will be the first to suffer. The second is it. Connecting Annan and Zhenla, if the Southwest forms an alliance with these small countries, not only will it be difficult for our North Korea to communicate with the countries of the South Ocean on land, but shipping will also be affected. "

"And after the army recaptured the capital, there was an ups and downs in the field, and I heard that there is nothing in the sky that blows you up. Beiyan Iron Riders are all sky soldiers, and they are invincible. Therefore, they may be replaced by others. Think about it, but if you lead, you don't have so much concern. "

Fu Shen sneered coldly: "I really deserve me."

"There is one more thing," Gu Shanlv said. "The king of Xiping County was the former part of the Northern Yan Army. He has a close relationship with you and the Yingguo government. Many eyes in the DPRK are staring at you, I am afraid that The position is no exception. If something goes wrong during the Western Expedition ... it will be unclear if you make a mistake. "

"Do you need such deliberations?" Fu Shen raised his glass, took a sip of wine, and laughed at himself: "If I want to do something, do I have to wait till now?"

"It's because you didn't 'do something' that it made some people feel uneasy," Gu Shanlv said. "The general's power and reputation are now very high. When you really want to do something, who can stop you? ? "

He sighed softly: "General, as the saying goes, 'I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of it'." 2k novel reading network
