I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 69
Before the imperial court announced the decree of summoning Xue Cong, Fu Jinchuan and other meritorious officers and men to Beijing to confer titles and present prisoners, the Hexi side came to report again.

The Emperor Daojun discussed with several prime ministers and noble generals in charge of the army, such as Dingguogongweiguogong Wu Dinghou and others.

In the end, Hexi's request was approved, and the children of a number of feudal nobles were appointed officials. Among them, Japu Huali, who contributed a lot in the First Battle of Shule, went to Beijing to show victory with Xue Cong, Fu Jinchuan and others.

At the same time, a guard was set up in each of the four departments, and five regiments were stationed in each, that is, more than a thousand people, and four towns were set up to supervise them.

As for the appointment of many officials, such as the newly established Xiting Duhufu and the four towns soldiers and horse envoys, all the powers were handed over to Fu Maoxiu, the Hexi Jiedu envoy.

This also shows that the Taoist emperor has a lot of trust in the British Duke.

However, Xue Cong, Fu Jinchuan and others had a list of more than [-] meritorious soldiers who went to Beijing to present their victories.

In mid-September, Shiro and Liulang of the Fu family arrived in Liangzhou City ahead of their orders. At the same time, the envoys of the Golden Horde, the son of the old Khan, and Prince Shuhu also came to Liangzhou.

Hearing that the fourth and sixth brothers had come to Hexi, Fu Jinchuan, who was still cutting leeks outside the city, immediately withdrew his team and rushed back to Liangzhou.After entering the city, go straight to Jiefu.

"Third brother."

"Third brother."

"Fourth brother, sixth brother, when have you been here?"

"Just arrived yesterday."

After three years, he saw his fourth brother who was the same age and grew up with him, and his sixth brother who was a few years younger than him and liked to hang out with him since he was a child.

Liu Lang took a closer look at the third brother who hadn't seen him for a long time, and then said: "The third brother is really mighty, he seems to be bigger, but he looks darker."

"Hahaha, there is a lot of wind and sand in the west of the river, and it is exposed to the sun and rain all day, can it still be white?" Fu Jinchuan laughed.

At this time, Fu Maoxiu, who heard some noise in the hall, came out from behind, "You guys, stop making trouble here, go out to the wild, I want to talk to Cyclamen and the others later."

"Yes, uncle."

"Then Aye, I'll take Shiro and Liulang out for a walk."

Fu Maoxiu waved his hand and said, "Go, don't run too far."

Fu Jinchuan and the others cupped their hands, then retreated.

"Let's go, I'll take you to go hunting. The yellow mutton from Qilian Mountain has a unique taste, whether it's grilled or eaten with mutton soup, it's all very good."

Fu Jinchuan took two brothers, dozens of Jie Cong's personal guards, and a group of 200 migratory locusts, and went straight to Huangyang Town at the foot of Qilian Mountain to hunt.

After driving for more than a month, the brothers Shiro and Liulang didn't feel like they were human. They were very excited when they talked about shooting and hunting, and they galloped along with Fu Jinchuan.

Although the shooting skills of Shiro and Liulang are not as good as Sanlang's, they can hit six out of ten with a galloping horse, which can be regarded as good at riding and shooting in the army.

Among the honored children in Shangjing, they are definitely the best.

At night, there are stars in the sky and piles of bonfires on the ground.

In the temporary camp at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, the prey hunted during the day, hares and gazelles, have been roasted on the grill until golden and oily, and the aroma is overflowing.

Liulang Fu Mingchuan held a leg of lamb and gnawed it directly, "Well, third brother, this lamb tastes really good, and the roast is also good."

Fu Jinchuan took a sip of the wine with the wine bag, and then said with a smile: "There are no yellow sheep in this place, and that Pugu Huai'an, when he was in the northern border, he often barbecued meat for a royal family."

Pugu Huai'an actually wanted to add a few words, he was not only a roast mutton in the Golden Horde in the northern border, he was also the leader of the shepherds, and he was in charge of more than a dozen people.
But he was stupid enough to accept what your husband said,

"The world in Hexi is really magnificent, it's different from Shangjing and Guanzhong."

Shiro Fu Weichuan sighed.

"Hahaha, the wilderness of the frontier is naturally magnificent. By the way, how is your home?"

Hearing the third brother's question, Shiro smiled and said: "Everything is fine at home. Uncle and third brother have built a great reputation in Hexi. Our Fu family is naturally rising, and the eldest aunt is always in good health."

"How about Uncle Third and Uncle Fifth?"

"Aye and Fifth Uncle are also well. The Second Uncle who was in Qingyan Road also wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that the Second Brother's family has added another daughter."

Fu Jinchuan smiled and said, "Really? That's good. Speaking of which, the second uncle, the second elder brother, and the ninth younger brother went to Qingzhou. They haven't returned to Beijing for almost five or six years, right?"

Fu Jinchuan's second uncle, Fu Maoyan, took the post of governor of Qingzhou. Because his status was not as sensitive as that of Fu Maoxiu, his family's children also went to the post together. Even Erlang Fu Qichuan and Jiulang Fu Jichuan hadn't seen each other for five or six years.

The Fu family has become more prosperous since the branch of Fu Jinchuan's grandfather Fu Xun.Although it is a big mansion, Fu Xun and Fu Maoxiu are two generations of patriarchs who run the family well, so the British Mansion is also famous in Shangjing for its upright family style and respectful brothers and friends.

In the previous generation, the Fu Maoxiu brothers had a deep relationship, so even if the old man left, they never separated.In Fu Jinchuan's generation, cousins ​​live in the same courtyard, and everything else is the same as brothers.

At this time, when it comes to the elders and brothers at home and in other places, it is inevitable to have feelings.

"By the way, third brother, when I told third uncle that I would come, Balang also said that he wanted to come to Hexi. He was also reprimanded by third uncle and elder brother."

"Balang? He's only eleven, why is he making a fuss about coming to Hexi? Isn't it because he doesn't want to study?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Shiro and Rokuro couldn't help laughing.

Fu Jinchuan knew he guessed right, "This kid"

Shiro continued: "In the past few years, Hachiro has been worrying my eldest brother, you don't know, third brother, in recent years, my eldest brother has been going to the Imperial College almost every month to apologize to the master of the Imperial College for Hachiro I don’t want to talk about sleeping during lectures. Once, I put a frog in the ink cartridge of my husband. When I opened the ink cartridge, the frog jumped out and made me covered in ink.”

Fu Jinchuan almost spit out a sip of wine, good guy, this Hachiro is braver than him.

It is said that Fu Sanlang was naughty when he was a child, that is, he often fought with other Xungui's children, and he just liked to run out to play. To Mr., whether it is the enlightened Mr. at home, or the great Confucian who taught in the palace later, he has always been respectful .

"That's right, the beginning of the year."

"What happened at the beginning of the year?"

Fu Jinchuan asked curiously.

"On the fourteenth day of the Lunar New Year, Balang went to Chongmingfang to eat hot-boiled meat with Prince Wu of the Prince Yan's Mansion. Who knew that that day happened to coincide with Princess Chengyang going to catch the red lotus traitor. I don't know whether to say he was lucky or unlucky. "

After hearing Shiro finished speaking, Fu Jinchuan shook his head, "This kid really needs to be disciplined."

Liu Lang gloated a little and said, "By the way, Third Brother, before we left, Third Uncle said that when you return to Shangjing, take good care of Balang."

Fu Jinchuan said with a smile: "I don't want to be boring. It's not that you don't know that Balang is at my mother's place, so he is the best. I discipline him? Forget it, I am used to leading soldiers, and I only know how to do military camps. Can my mother be willing to go down with a baton?"

"Hahaha."

The three brothers talked about family affairs, drank and ate meat, and went to rest in the tent without realizing it was late at night.

On the second day, Fu Jinchuan returned to Liangzhou with his two brothers. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the commander-in-chief, he saw more than a dozen northern warriors wearing robes on the right lapel, braided hair, and scimitars hanging from their waists.

After seeing Fu Jinchuan, they put their right hands on their left shoulders and bowed to salute.

Fu Jinchuan looked at a few people, but he didn't respond, he ignored them.

These northern warriors didn't take it for granted. They were in awe of such a nobleman from the enemy's country.

They are all the personal guards of Shuhu, the king of the golden account. They have witnessed Fu Jinchuan leading hundreds of cavalry at the foot of Baiting City, and galloping across the river with a lance in hand.

I have also seen Fu Jinchuan shoot down the banner of the Tiger Division with an arrow hundreds of steps away, showing off his power in front of the two armies.

I have also heard the phrase "If you don't retreat, go to war."

But Shiro and Liulang on the side were a little surprised. They arrived in Liangzhou the day before yesterday, so they naturally knew that these people were the guards of the northern envoys. What is it like to shock the enemy country?

"Fu Lang-jun, I haven't seen you for a long time, so don't come here to be safe."

"Yo, Lord Shuhu, don't come here without any harm."

Just as Fu Jinchuan walked to the gate of the mansion, he happened to see a noble man from the north wearing a blue satin beard robe. He was tall and strong. He was Shuhu who had met several times. ambassador of the country.

"Last year, Mr. Lang's demeanor is still the same."

"My lord, you are being polite. I haven't seen you in a year. I don't know how you are doing, my lord."

"Hahahaha, I'm fine, thank you sir for remembering me"

The two were like old friends who had been gone for a long time reunited. They talked for a long time at the gate of the commander's mansion before Fu Jinchuan Shuhu left.

"Third brother, do you know him very well?"

Fu Jinchuan shook his head, "I'm not familiar with him, I've met him two or three times, and I almost caught him last year."

This is not empty talk, after all, during the battle of Baiting, more than a thousand of the [-] troops of the Golden Tent ran out, and Jin He and the others were also able to fight to the death.

"Huh? I think you two seem to be very good friends."

Fu Jinchuan said with a smile: "Our Dajin is a Shangbang, so we must be magnanimous. He is an envoy now, and the person who comes to negotiate is a guest, so of course we must be more polite to the guests."

"Of course, if you bring troops to fight, you will naturally kill him without leaving any behind."

When Shiro and Liulang heard it, they felt that it made sense, and then nodded.

Afterwards, the three of them entered the back hall, where they saw Jiedu magistrate Liu Xianke, governor Shi Cui Fangyi, and Fu Maoxiu discussing the negotiation with the northern border and subsequent arrangements.

In the just-concluded negotiation, Fu Maoxiu was chatting elsewhere with the chief envoy, Shuhu, while his aide Cui Fangyi and Liu Xianke were negotiating with the other party's assistant officer. After the negotiation was over, he would naturally report back to Fu Maoxiu.

"The gentlemen are back."

After seeing the ceremony, the three brothers stayed behind to listen. After all, they are all the nephews of the Jiedushi, and they are also qualified to participate in this kind of secret discussion.

"The Golden Horde wants to open three to five trading markets. I think it's better to focus on Hexi, Shuofang, Hedong, and Hebei. They are willing to trade grain, medicinal materials, porcelain, cloth, and tea. Cattle and sheep, tendons and horns, leather goods, they also want ironware and salt, we want horses and ore, but these may not be negotiated."

"Let's not talk about trading the salt to them now. The salt in Guanzhong and Gyeonggi Province is almost not enough. Now the private salt in Yangzhou is rampant, and the court is a headache for this."

"By the way, there is one more thing. Khan Bishamen wants to photograph the two princes going to Beijing to bathe and educate, and hopes to marry the Jin Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Fu Jinchuan said directly: "Why, are you still thinking about getting married? There has never been a precedent in the Dajin Dynasty of marrying a princess to a foreign country. It is related to the state system. Even the literati in Beijing can't agree to this matter."

Cui Fangyi shook his head and said: "Sanlang misunderstood, it wasn't us, they married a princess."

"what?"

Except for Liu Xianke, who had known for a long time, the Fu family members were all in shock.

After a while, Fu Maoxiu still said something with a smile.

"It's been playing for 100 years, it's unheard of."
