I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 89
The British government received a letter from Hexi, and the National Council returned to Beijing in mid-February.

Brothers Fu Huaichuan and Fu Jinchuan both understood that Aye would not return to Hexi when he returned to court this time.

The reputation has almost been saved, and the court will inevitably have some gossip if he stays any longer.

Moreover, the term of Jiedushi is three to five years. After a long time, with Fu Maoxiu's means, Hexi may have the surname Fu.

This is also a common practice. The Sanya Guanjun of the Forbidden Army and several foreign towns' Jiedu envoys, as well as the important officials who are left behind in the four capitals, are all appointed every three to five years, so as to avoid the trend of being too late.

The Yanwang Mansion in Liaodong is an example.

Liaodong in winter is more severe than Shangjing, and it has been a place of bitter cold since ancient times.

Although it has always been a Han land, in the eyes of the Central Plains, Liaodong is no different from the barbarians. A Liaodong barbarian is full of condescension.

Although Liaodong also admired the prosperity of Shangjing, it also laughed at the cowardice of the Central Plains.

At this time, Wu Renguang, the king of Yan, who was in the land of Kyushu in Liaodong, was sitting in a large carriage in a python robe and looking at the reports about various places in Liaodong.

While watching, the messenger beside the carriage reported back: "My lord, a letter from Shangjing."

The personal guard handed in the letter, another staff member Liu Xun helped to take it and handed it to Wu Renguang.

Wu Renguang saw that it was a letter from his daughter Wu Mingda. He smiled and said, "This girl hasn't written a letter for some time."

He opened the letter and looked at it, but Wu Renguang frowned more and more, and finally slammed it on the low table in the carriage.

"unacceptable."

It turned out that it was Wu Mingda who told Wu Renguang what had happened in the capital. Seeing that his precious son had been beaten, Wu Renguang was furious.

"This is too much."

But he couldn't scold the words when he got to his lips. After all, it was the Emperor Daojun who ordered the beating of his son. Even though King Yan's mansion now occupies one side, it is not easy to scold the emperor casually.

Read the letter again, then patted the table again.

"It's time to fight. I'm engaged to meet some seductive woman, and get mixed up with those people in Honglian Road. What can a group of rats do? If I were in Shangjing, I would have to beat him too."

Wu Mingda didn't adjust the oil and vinegar, but just stated the facts.Including Wu Yaoshi went to see the oiran lady, was held hostage, and then went to Fu Jinchuan to rescue her.

"This kid from the Fu family is a sensible one. He should be beaten when he roars in the court. It's a face for us not to kill him."

Then he gave the letter to two confidants to read. Wu Renguang sighed, "I read the battle report of the battle between Baiting and Shule. This kid from the Fu family is really extraordinary. In the battle of Baiting, 800 people dared to go straight to tens of thousands. The people's Golden Tent army, as well as the subsequent estrangement, the battle of Shule, even rushed to a distance of only a few hundred steps from Tuoba Chide. If it wasn't for the lack of troops, he might have really captured Tuoba Chide Well, she has both wisdom and bravery, and has the demeanor of his ancestors, but unfortunately, with a marriage, Wu Zong's daughter is said to be extremely intelligent, otherwise she would be a good match for my family Mingda."

After seeing it, Yao Bingkuan handed it to Liu Xun on the opposite side, and then raised a different opinion: "The fourth princess has a strong temperament. Although Marquis Wu An has never met him, judging from the battle reports and news, he is also strong and brave. You may not be a good match with the four princesses, Qi Dafei is not a couple. Although two strong horses are well matched, if they share the same trough, they may fight."

Wu Renguang said with a smile: "Master Zi Cong's words are reasonable, but it's a little strange to say it from an old monk like you."

The old monk shook his head, smiled and said nothing.

But Liu Xun on the opposite side said after seeing it: "This son of Fu Jinchuan is the crown prince's confidant, and he also married the daughter of the first emperor. He is dissatisfied with the weak crown and made him a marquis with military merits. Watching his military use, he is not inferior to his ancestor. It may be a big disaster in the future."

Although Liu Xun was a counselor of the King of Yan, he was from Huainan.Later, he joined the Palace of King Yan, and gained great trust and was good at planning. He was known as "one step, one hundred plans."

Wu Renguang smiled and said: "Hahahaha, what's the problem? He is also a general of the imperial court, not an enemy general of the Golden Tent. Why should Mr. Liu worry?"

Liu Xun also nodded and smiled, "I made a slip of the tongue."

Fear is a serious problem?

What's wrong?

In a few words, King Yan and his confidant counselor also played a clever game.

Wu Renguang knew what Liu Xun was thinking too well.

Although the imperial court opened a course to select scholars, most of the people who passed the examination were from aristocratic families. Even if some children from poor families entered high schools, they were all scholars from the north.

This is the case with Liu Xun.Although he has outstanding talents and learning, but because of his native place and background, he failed in repeated trials.

In his eyes, the current imperial court is controlled by aristocratic families and northern scholars. If he wants to get ahead, he can only devote himself to a wealthy and prominent family, and seek a way to advance as a subordinate.

Or, change the dynasty.

There is no third way.

And now, he seems to be taking the first route, but he hopes to take the second route as well.

He is very clear about the current situation of the imperial court. If the world can be changed, as the confidant of King Yan, he will naturally have the opportunity to be famous in history. Wouldn't it be easy to be a prime minister?
As for Yan Wang Wu Renguang's thoughts, Liu Xun was also clear.This fierce tiger is not without ambition, but knows restraint and forbearance.

The imperial court looks a bit decayed at the moment, but it is far from a big tree that can be blown by a gust of wind.

There are hundreds of thousands of elite frontier troops in Hexi, Guanzhong, Longyou, Hedong, and Shuofang, and there are also hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in Shangjing.

Although Emperor Daojun seemed to be ignorant, his control over the court was even stricter than that of the former Emperor Wuzong.

Among the prime ministers, although Li Fuzhi has the name of "treacherous prime minister" and is full of resentment, he is extremely experienced in handling various government affairs. He is definitely a capable minister who maintains internal and external stability when the emperor lives deep in the palace.

Among the generals, Dingguo Duke Feng Shenji has experienced hundreds of battles and has never lost a single defeat.He is a character like Dinghai Shenzhen.

Li Shizhong, Duke of Wei, Guo Bao, Marquis of Wuding, and Yu Luohu, Marquis of Wuyang, were all generals who were good at fighting.

Even the British Duke Fu Maoxiu, who was not well-known before, served as the Hexi Jiedu envoy for three years, who would dare to underestimate him now?
As long as the court itself is not in chaos, the Yan Palace will have no chance if it wants to use the people of Liaodong to make trouble.

Therefore, Liu Xun will not incite King Yan to act at will now, after all, the time has not yet come.

Once the world is in chaos, Liu Xun doesn't believe that King Yan can resist taking a peek at the Central Plains.

The king adds white, no one can resist this temptation.
The carriage entered Yingzhou City, an important town in Eastern Liaodong, and Zhao Qinzhi, the governor of Yingzhou, went out of the city to greet him.

"The last general, Zhao Qinzhi, pays homage to the prince."

"Qin Zhi doesn't need to be too polite, let's go to the camp to talk."

"promise."

Zhao Qinzhi personally opened the way for King Yan's carriage, and when he reached the gate of the camp, King Yan ordered the carriage to stop, and then entered the camp on foot.

Entering the camp of Yingzhou, the soldiers shouted, "Meet the lord."

"Meet the king."

"Hahahaha, no courtesy, Chinese New Year is coming soon, let's come and see you. Tonight, this king will have a drink with you."

"Whirring whirring."

The soldiers cheered in unison.

Wu Renguang's team not only carried guards and banners, but also drove pigs and sheep behind them, and dozens of carts of fine wine and fine wine.

This has been his habit for many years, and it is also a tradition that has been passed down since the time of the old King of Yan, Wu Shougong. Before the New Year's Eve, he would patrol the troops without fear of the wind and cold, and reward them with banquets.

Therefore, there are no sergeants in the Yan army who do not recognize Yan Wang Wu Renguang. Because of this, Wu Renguang has won the hearts of the soldiers.

The whole camp began to get busy, killing pigs and sheep, boiling water and chopping firewood.

Wu Renguang took Zhao Qinzhi and other generals to the big tent of the Chinese army to talk.

"It's been so cold these days, why didn't the prince wait a few days to come back?" Zhao Qinzhi hurriedly ordered people to prepare a brazier to keep warm.

Wu Renguang said while roasting his hands: "Wait a few more days and the year will be over, what a fart. Besides, it's just a little bit of cold, is it a problem? Am I getting old?"

The governor of Yingzhou on the other side said to Zhima Cheng: "With the body of the prince, he can still guard ten daughters at night. Whoever said that the prince is old, I, Ma Cheng, will be the first to refuse."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The generals in the entire camp laughed.

Wu Renguang pointed to Ma Cheng and said, "Ma Cheng, when Niang Niang was my guard earlier, she didn't even dare to go to the kiln. Now she talks about dirty things in the same way. Are you talking to Zhao Qin? You learned it? Yeyu Ten Daughters, what is this called?"

Another governor, Hong Kaishan, also said: "That's right, the ten daughters of Yeyu, what do you mean, they are twenty?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Wu Renguang also laughed and said: "Hahahaha, I just said, there are no good people in this Yingzhou. I regret letting Saburo come to the camp of Yingzhou to practice. By the way, where is this kid going?"

"Mr. Sanlang went out to hunt, and I specially took pictures of the tooth soldiers to follow. Don't worry, my lord." Zhao Qinzhi hurriedly explained.

Wu Renguang said: "Qin Zhi, I'm not worried about his safety when he's here with you, I'm just worried that he's like you all, opening and closing his mouth full of nasty words."

Zhao Qinzhi felt wronged and said: "My lord, what you said, I didn't learn from you? You forgot to tell us that when you went to the capital with the old lord, in the biggest brothel Yeyu Ten Girl, who didn't know your prestige back then?"

"Don't you learn what I've taught you, why do you remember this so clearly?"

"Hahaha."

It's hard to believe that Yan Wang Wu Renguang, who is almost 60 years old, was speaking nasty words to a group of generals in the camp, but if you know the life of this Yan Wang, all this is not unexpected.

Wu Renguang was the son of Wu Shougong, the former king of Yan, but he was not born rich.

Wu Shougong was just a wanderer in Guanzhong in his early years. He joined the army when he was almost 30 years old and made his fortune in his 40s. Wu Renguang was the eldest son. He suffered a lot when he was a child and never studied.When I was a teenager, I hung out with my father in the camp, that is, a prostitute.At that time, Wu Shougong was only a mid-level and low-level military officer, and he brought his son into the camp just to get some food and money.

Later, Wu Shougong climbed to the high branch of Dingguo Gong because of his bravery in battle, and was promoted all the way to the military envoy.He also led the army alone as a partial division in the battle of the Great Jin Dynasty against Bohai Sea, but he did not expect that the partial division that was originally responsible for restraining this road made great achievements, drove directly to Wangcheng, and destroyed the country in one battle.

But Dingguo Gong Feng Shenji, who led the army to defeat the Bohai army head-on, didn't get the biggest peach.

It can be said that Wu Shougong was able to become the king, and it can be said that the person who should be most grateful is Dingguo Gong Feng Shenji.But after he became king, he soon fell out with his former benefactor.

This is also normal, Feng Shenji is just a prince, Wu Shougong is already a king with a different surname under one person, no one can bear this.

In the Battle of the Bohai Sea, it was Wu Shougong's eldest son, Wu Renguang, who urged his father to take the Lulong Road for a surprise attack instead of the well-known Binhai Road according to military orders, and to conquer the enemy first in order to make great achievements.

Therefore, Wu Renguang's inherited throne was originally half due to his own credit.

And he entered the military camp when he was a teenager. At that time, his father was just a school lieutenant, and he was promoted all the way from the top soldier. Although he is now an extremely human minister of the King of Yan, fundamentally speaking, he is still a prostitute.It's perfectly normal to say something nasty to these direct subordinates.

In the early years, he liked to brag to his generals and guards about how he went to Beijing. Now these cronies are now the backbone of the generals in the Liaodong Army, so naturally they will not see each other.

Not long after, a low growl came from outside the big tent, the sound was extremely frightening.

Wu Renguang smiled and said, "It must be that my son is back, go out and see what good things he hunted."

As soon as he went out, he saw Wu Mingche, his third son, and a tiger with a white forehead and dangling eyes in the iron cage. Although he was injured a little, he was still extremely ferocious.

"Sauro."

"Aye? Greetings to Aye." Wu Mingche, the Sanlang of Prince Yan's Mansion, really looked extremely embarrassed at the moment, his armor was torn, and there were bloodstains indistinctly.Yang Ping's mansion, who served as his guard, was also in a mess.

Then Zhao Qinzhi was surprised and said: "Could it be that tiger on Dahei Mountain? Sanlang, you are too courageous. This tiger is said to be of a different species, and it is extremely ferocious. Even warriors below the fourth rank are no match. You actually went to hunt him gone?"

At this moment, Zhao Qinzhi was also a little scared, but luckily he sent the fierce general Yang Pingfu to follow him, otherwise the boy would have no idea whether he would come back or not.

Wu Mingche said indifferently: "Don't worry, the governor, isn't there General Yang following him? This tiger is really ferocious, and can compete with General Yang. We only captured him alive by relying on the crossbow arrows coated with anesthesia."

Wu Renguang walked around the cage, looking at the tiger which was still imposing despite being anesthetized, with burning eyes.

"Good job. This tiger is indeed worthy of the title of tiger. Give it some wound medicine and take good care of it."

At this time, the tiger in the cage is also looking at the people outside the cage, staring at them.

It was as if they were not looking at people, but their own kind.
