I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 29
"Everyone here has heard about the great victory in Hexi, today we will not talk about the legend of swordsman, today we will talk about the story of Zhongyi Saburo, who went to Beijing, in Hexi Road. This is about Fu Sanlang, who visited Xiaoye City unannounced, Knowing that the murderer of Marshal Guo was none other than Prince Huihe and General Bai Xianguang, so in the middle of the night, we quietly made a plan."

In the storyteller's Washeri, Zhao Yuanshu sat alone in front of a table. On the table were Yuemei, perilla paste, golden silk party plum, Xiangyuanzi, etc., as well as some seasonal fruits only in autumn. While eating slowly while listening to storytelling, two maidservants were beside her, surrounded by guards with unkind faces, who were not easy to provoke at first sight.

"I wanted to listen to the legend of the swordsman, but I never thought that today I would talk about that idiot. Does this storyteller have a lot of connections? He figured out the details of how the idiot did things so quickly, and he talked about his nose and eyes. Let me not give it to you." It’s embarrassing to reward money.”

The two maids smiled secretly from behind, and they didn't say anything about the duplicity of the master in front.

Not long after, a man came up behind him, dressed in blue robes, with a flat-topped head, in his early thirties, seven feet tall, a little fat, but ordinary-looking, with a short beard, he looked like a shrewd businessman .

"Your Highness."

"You are here, everything is complete, sit down."

After Zhao Yuanshu heard the voice, he didn't look back, and ordered casually.

"Your Highness was joking, there is a place for me to sit in front of Your Highness."

Zhao Yuanshu smiled, and he didn't know whether it was the man named Quan Quan behind the smile, or he thought this passage was wonderful.

"Well, what's the news these days."

"Returning to Your Highness, the son of King Yan still goes to Chongmingfang as usual these days, sometimes to Fanlou, sometimes to Qianjin Pavilion. It is no different from the previous days, but these days he is very concerned about my husband's affairs. Shangxin, his guard Yin Shisan has been asking about Langjun's news on the street for him in the past few days. It may be that at the gate that day, what Balang said made him interested."

Zhao Yuanshu said: "Then let you people from the Saburo Club keep an eye on him. The people from the Imperial City Division have a lot of traces of their work, so it's more natural for you to keep an eye on him."

"Your Majesty, just ask if you have something to do."

Quan Quan said respectfully.

He is the steward of the Saburo Society, and the Sanlang Society is the gang established by Fu Jinchuan, and it is currently one of the largest gangs in Shangjing.

Although Fu Jinchuan is not in Shangjing, the heroes of Shangjing still have to give San Langhui face, after all, he is just not here now.

When he comes back, won't he still be "Loyal Saburo"?
It depends on who you are taking tea with.

Before Fu Jinchuan left, he told the stewards of the Saburo Club that if they encountered something they couldn't solve, they could go to Princess Chengyang under his banner.

And his share of income in the past few years has also been handed over to Zhao Yuanshu.In a word, if he is not around, he will listen to Her Royal Highness in everything.

Zhao Yuanshu didn't want to take over the stall at first, because he felt that he would lose his dignity.But after Saburo would send Xiao Jing over for two months, she didn't think so.

Before I left, I had just heard Fu Jinchuan say that the income of Yizui Sanlang Club was very considerable, but I didn't expect it to be so rich.

Nearly a thousand credits were recorded in one month.

This year's income is far more than her princess salary.

And it's just about money, Saburo will be more flexible than Huangcheng Secretary in dealing with all kinds of news in the capital.

This also made Zhao Yuanshu, who claims to be extremely intelligent, have to admit that her idiot fiance is actually quite insightful.

But why would Yaoshi Wu, the prince of Yan, who was always in love with the place of love and moon, be interested in that idiot?Although her man often hung out in the market when he was in Beijing, he almost never went to romantic places.If you want to share your experience, you are mistaken.
Are you going to pretend to be a dude?
The political affairs hall in the palace city is the place where the prime minister works, and it is also the center of the entire Jin Dynasty.

Although the Emperor Daojun is the one who makes the decision, the three central provinces are responsible for the issuance and execution of all government orders of the dynasty.

Government affairs are almost always discussed by the four prime ministers. After the opinions are drawn up, they are submitted to the East Palace, and after the opinions are given by the East Palace, they are forwarded to Yuxi Palace.

Everyone knows that the military newspaper of the Hexi Great Victory was published in the capital.

The four prime ministers naturally also knew about it. When the Shang capital fell into celebration, the prime ministers were thinking about some things after the end of the battle.

For example, the Battle of Hexi was a great victory, how to reward the meritorious ministers?Where does the money come from?

Liaodong also reported a "great victory", but this victory is obviously too much, how will the court respond?
"Hexi's great victory should not go wrong. Even if the Duke of England is close to His Majesty, he would not dare to use this kind of thing to lie about the military situation. I just don't know how to reward the Duke for such a great achievement."

The speaker was Zhongshuling Pei Xiuming, who was in his 40s, with a medium build, a square face, a short beard, a purple official robe, and a soft-winged cape.

"How about adding a captain?"

Xie Qian, who is also in his 40s, tried to say that he is from the south of the Yangtze River, but he is seven feet tall, with a ruddy complexion and a long beard.

The right servant of the Shangshu shot Zeng Gong and said: "The Taiwei is a first-class official. It's too high. It's better to leave it to Mr. Feng, the Duke of Ding. It's better to add a few households."

Pei Xiuming said: "The British government has already had tens of thousands of households, and there is no way to add them. But I didn't expect the British government to be so capable. Two years ago, the situation in Hexi was corrupted, but now it has such momentum. The Fu family is really a generational name."

Xie Qian said: "It may not be a generation of famous generals, but who made him a good son? Fu Sanlang was a young man. He went to the capital in his early years and was still in the market. He thought he was a playboy. It's only been two years, and he already has the style of an ancient famous general, and he is so close to His Royal Highness, the future is limitless."

Pei Xiuming also nodded when he heard this and said in agreement: "That's true. However, the British government has been passed down for five generations. Today, the British government has a very close relationship with His Majesty, and Fu Sanlang is also on good terms with the crown prince. He is so brave, and I am afraid that he will not be able to lose it in the future."

As the prime minister, Pei Xiuming was already one of the leaders of civil servants, so he naturally thought that the power of civil servants and scholar-bureaucrats would inevitably be squeezed when military generals become bigger.

"Pei Xiang is right. Fu Sanlang has been stubborn since he was a child. He hangs out in the market and makes friends with the people in the world. Although the Holy One doesn't care, these people can't let him get too close to the prince. The prince is honest and benevolent, remembering the old love, saying You might be bewitched by him."

"We must also guard against him making meritorious deeds. He already has such military merits at the age of the weak crown. When he makes meritorious deeds again, the Fu family may have an extra hereditary Marquis."

"Xie Xiang's words are justified. If so, why not transfer him back to the capital?"

"Don't think about it, the British Duke is still Hexi Jiedushi. If you want to transfer his son, if you do these tricks at this time, His Majesty will not be able to pass the test. Don't forget, this kid is going to be the son-in-law of Wu Zong."

Several prime ministers were actually discussing how to restrict a young general who is not yet 20 years old, but they couldn't seem to find any way.

After all, although the prime minister is powerful, the Xungui Group of the Great Jin Dynasty is not a vegetarian.

The military commanders and nobles headed by the Lord of the Eight Kingdoms have always firmly controlled the military power and the promotion channels in the army, forming a situation of fighting against civil officials and scholar-bureaucrats.

For a family of military generals with a holy family, apart from making the emperor no longer trust him, everything else is futile.

"Isn't it superfluous to think about Fu Sanlang right now?"

At this time, Shang Shu Zuo Pu shot Li Fuzhi, who was silent in reminiscing about the past, spoke.

Although Li Fuzhi is more than 50 years old, he is well maintained, with a black beard and a handsome face. It can be seen that he must have been a handsome man when he was young.

As the de facto head of civil servants, Li Fuzhi is probably more important than the other three prime ministers combined, and he is extremely trusted by the Taoist emperor.

Of the six ministers, four belong to him.

Of the twelve servants, seven belong to him.

Needless to say, the rest of Jiuqing and other officials, most of them came from his sect.

But his own reputation and official reputation are not good. He cultivates party members, fills his own pockets, eliminates dissidents, and confuses the emperor.
People with good deeds once called Li Fuzhi and Fu Maoxiu "two traitors in civil and military affairs".

No matter how many opinions the other three prime ministers usually have, it doesn't matter after he speaks.

Just like this moment.

"The most urgent thing for the court to delay is not to restrict a young man like Fu Sanlang. Don't forget that there is a tiger in Liaodong. If the tiger is left alone, it will eat people."

Li Fuzhi's words directly brought the discussion about Fu Jinchuan to an end, and even the other three prime ministers felt that there was nothing wrong.He even felt that he was worthy of being Li Xiang, who could always grasp the most critical point when looking at problems, and he didn't feel that he was a little mediocre.

He also didn't realize that it was because of this mediocrity that he was able to be the prime minister like a Quan.

"Your Majesty, please add a ministerial decree. Fu Jiasanlang, the official rank can be promoted to the fourth-rank General Yunhui, so report it to His Majesty. As for Xue Cong and others, the Ministry of War will naturally consider it, and we will wait to sign it. "

Although Shangshuling is nominally the head of the Shangshu Province, as long as Tong Zhongshu's subordinates are not included in the work, then this official is just an honorary title and has no actual position, let alone the power of a prime minister.

The same is true for Zhongshu Ling and Shizhong, both of which are often used as titles given to military commanders or elders.

In the history of such victories, the rewards for the commander and his heirs may need to be discussed, but the rewards for meritorious knowledge are basically available in the system. According to the actual achievements such as beheading and seizing the city, there are corresponding rewards.

"Then what should we do with the victory report from Liaodong?"

"According to the military rewards of the Ministry of War, the reward for beheading is only a few thousand taels."

Pei Xiuming asked in surprise: "If you just understate it so lightly, won't there be trouble over there?"

Li Fuzhi sneered, "Oh, what's the trouble? Sent an army of [-], beheaded several hundred, how dare you call it a big victory? With such a great achievement, is it necessary to give him an official title for the King of Yan? With Hexi's jade in front, Yan Fan still has the face to make trouble?"

Today's political affairs hall is almost Li Fuzhi's one-word hall.

Several prime ministers didn't have much weight to speak in front of him, which was one of the reasons why Li Fuzhi was criticized by others.

Qingliu, the ruling and opposition parties, called it "the only one".
