The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 28

A soldier is a major event for the country.

Although Fu Yanqing had the right to do things cheaply, his memorials for arbitrarily mobilizing the Zhongwu army to avenge his personal revenge were still like the snow outside. Within a few days, they came from all over the place, and Zhao Guangyi's books were piled up.

After Zhao Guangyi took the case, he was holding a memorandum from the Henan Mansion of Xijing in his hand. The right to do things cheaply, but without my will, he really dared to dispatch the Zhongwu Army to intercept and kill the imperial court officials, and the Zhongwu Army actually bowed to him, thinking carefully! Yuwen Yanyi unexpectedly subdued the Zhongwu Army Commander To make Yu Gang force three thousand elites to make way for him, if he is full-fledged one day, it will be my confidant's trouble!"

"Squeak..." The door slammed lightly, and Wang Jien walked in cautiously with a cup of good tea.Seeing that Zhao Guangyi was worrying about the memorandum, he couldn't help but smiled slightly, "Guys, you can drink a cup of tea and rest, the big things are not as important as your dragon body!"

Zhao Guangyi took the tea slowly, put it on his lips and took a sip, then seemed to be asking Wang Jien, and seemed to be talking to himself, "In order to form a loyal military army in case of emergency, I had to entrust The head of the state has a heavy responsibility. But since the day when the head of the state was appointed, I have not been worried about it for a day, lest the head of the state hold the military power for a long time and develop a heart of disobedience. But you have no jokes, you can't seize power rashly, you can only wait for the future Plan. I originally thought that this time, I would use the hands of the national leader to get rid of Yuwen Yanyi, and then take back the military power in the name of the national leader's arbitrariness. Unexpectedly, not only did Yuwen Yanyi not die, but he even easily forced the three thousand loyal soldiers to fight against the rat. For today The only plan is to seize military power first in the name of the head of the state using troops to intercept and kill the general without authorization, and then plan how to get rid of Yuwen Yanyi so as to avoid future troubles. However, Xinyu is the daughter of the head of state after all, should I think about the relationship between husband and wife , let this matter go for a while? If so, people in the world will inevitably regard the laws of the Song Dynasty as a child's play, if not, how should I explain to Xinyu?"

Wang Jien lowered his head slightly, and said: "Official, are you asking the miscellaneous family? If you ask the miscellaneous family, I will say that the saint is a strange woman with a high foresight and a deep understanding of righteousness. How about..."

Zhao Guangyi saw that Wang Jien was hesitating to speak, and said displeasedly: "Jien, why are you so hesitant, say what you have to say!"

"The miscellaneous family wants to say that the official family should explain this matter directly to the sage, and let her come forward to take away the military power of the head of the country. They think that the sage has a deep relationship with the official family, and is the biological daughter of the head of the country. home?"

Zhao Guangyi sighed and said, "Oh, although Xinyi understands righteousness deeply, letting her step forward to take away the military power of the country's father is tantamount to a fool's dream!"

Wang Ji'en said: "Officials, if you trust me, it's better for the miscellaneous family to talk to the maid next to the sage first. It's best if the sage is willing to come forward. When the dragon and the phoenix are at odds, I wonder if what the miscellaneous family said is right?"

Zhao Guangyi nodded slightly, "Okay, Jien, I will leave this matter to you."

That night, the moonlight was clear and the wind was blowing.

Zhao Guangyi felt exhausted after finishing today's government affairs, coupled with the worry in his heart, he had no other thought but to go back to the palace to rest as soon as possible.Unexpectedly, just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly heard a familiar sound of footsteps outside the house.

"Xin Ye, is that you?"

Following Zhao Guangyi's voice, Fu Xinyu walked into the study slowly, and the lights added a little more gentleness and charm to her graceful demeanor, "Official family, my concubine saw two stories from the Spring and Autumn Period while reading today. Is it possible for the family to solve the confusion for the concubine?"

"Oh?" Zhao Guangyi lightly rubbed his temples, looked at Fu Xinyu, and asked softly: "Xinyu, you are a talented woman who is well-educated and well-known before leaving the boudoir. Is there any bizarre story that will make you feel so strange?" Puzzled?"

Fu Xinyu said: "Qi Youqing Jiang killed his father for his husband, and Qin Youmu Ji betrayed his father. Both of them are admirable strange women, but they made completely different choices between their husband and father. What do you think is right and wrong?"

Zhao Guangyi just wanted to speak subconsciously, but suddenly felt Fu Xinyu's overtones, and couldn't help but stare at Fu Xinyu in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment.Fu Xinyu knew that he understood the implication, so she didn't urge her, she just looked at her husband affectionately, waiting for his answer.

After a long time, Zhao Guangyi finally said: "Qing Jiang and Mu Ji have both right and wrong. Fortunately, I am not Mu Gong or Lu Pu, and the head of the state is not Xian Gong or Qing She. Why should Xin Ye be confused by the ancients?"

Fu Xinyu nodded slightly, "You are the official who knows the concubine best. The concubine intends to go to Luoyang for you and will ask my father to hand over the military power. I wonder if the official will agree?"

Zhao Guangyi got up slowly, and took Fu Xinyi's hand, "It's winter, your health is not good, if you go here and get sick, wouldn't it make my heart hurt? Why don't you go later when the spring is warm and everything recovers?" .”

Fu Xinyu shook her head and said resolutely: "No, my concubine knows that the official family is going to fight in the Northern Han Dynasty. If my father has the military power in his hands, you will feel uneasy. And even though the righteous brother is at fault, he is still a pillar of the court, let alone let my father rely on military power. I'm determined to go on my own way. So this matter is urgent, and if the government agrees, the ministers and concubines will leave early tomorrow morning."

Zhao Guangyi couldn't bear it and said: "Xin Ye, all you have done for so many years is to work hard for me, I really can't bear to let you leave the palace in such a severe cold, if something happens, how can I live alone, it's better... how about Let others go."

Fu Xinyu smiled wryly, "Officials, my concubine knows that you are good to me, but who can do it for me except for my concubine? Could it be that you send those people who have no relatives and no reason with my father? You are not afraid that my father will be confused for a while. Is it a big mistake that will last forever? Alright, the concubine is no longer the little girl she was when she first married, the officials don't worry, I will definitely come back safely."

Zhao Guangyi hugged Fu Xinyu tightly, thousands of words came to his mind, but he didn't know how to say it.He can be ruthless and decisive towards anyone in the world, but he can't face Fu Xinyi alone. He seems to want to use his life's tenderness on her alone, even until the end of his life...

A few days later, a luxurious carriage smashed through the ice and snow, and came galloping from the official road in the northeast.More than ten riders in front of the chariot cleared the way, and more than ten riders behind the chariot followed closely. Although there were not many soldiers guarding the chariot, they were all fierce and vigilant, and their expressions were full of respect. Obviously, the people in the chariot were by no means ordinary.

The team went on like this for a long time, until they reached a magnificent camp outside Luoyang City, and then stopped the process.Seeing this, the guards in front of the gate shouted loudly: "Who is that! The camp of the Loyal Military Army, idlers are not allowed to trespass!"

Immediately the leader clasped his fists and said, "The sage Luan is here, so don't let him go!"

The guard said: "Since the saint is here, please get out of the car and enter the camp on foot."

The rider said indignantly: "Presumptuous! Saint Luan Jia and others dare to stop him, is he planning to rebel!"

The guard said unconcernedly: "This is Master Fu's order, I dare not disobey! If the saint insists on entering the camp by car, he will kill us and press over our corpses!"

The leader had no choice but to get off his horse, walked to the front of the car, bowed and said: "Saint, the team has arrived at the camp of the Zhongwu Army, but the guards outside the gate let you get off the car and enter the camp on foot, I don't know..."

"Forget it, since it is the order of the king, I don't want to break it rashly, so let's get out of the car and walk." Fu Xinyu slowly opened the curtain and got out of the carriage calmly. Two or three teenagers.The boy was wearing a jade-coloured robe with a simple wooden dagger at his waist. His immature face was full of respect, but his movements to get off the car were quite nimble.

Seeing the saint get off the carriage, the guard hurriedly gave a deep salute, "I have seen the saint!"

Fu Xinyi waved her hand, "You don't need to be too polite, the head of the country is in the camp?"

The guard said: "Reporting to the saint, Mr. Fu is currently training soldiers."

Fu Xinyi smiled, "Okay, then let's lead the way."

The guards hurriedly acted according to the order, leading the way for Fu Xinyu in front of the head, and the escorting soldiers also dismounted quickly, and followed Fu Xinyu into the barracks.As soon as they entered the barracks, everyone was shocked by the neat tents, the regulated antlers, the towering archery towers, and the purge of military discipline.Walking to the school grounds, witnessing the uniform movements of the Zhongwu Army during drills, hearing the shouts of cracking stones and piercing the clouds, I was even more impressed by Fu Yanqing, the founding father standing on the general platform.

When Fu Yanqing saw this pedestrian, he quickly waved the command flag in his hand and ordered the soldiers to make way for Fu Xinyu. "Xinyi, why are you here?" Fu Yanqing said as she stepped off the platform, she did not regard Fu Xinyi, the majestic mother of a country, as a queen at all, she simply regarded her as her own daughter.

Fu Xinyi hadn't seen her father for several years. Seeing that her father's wrinkles were much deeper than the last time she saw her, and her always straight body was slightly bent, she couldn't help but feel sour.But she gritted her teeth, suppressed her sadness, and said to Fu Yanqing: "Father, my daughter's trip is not for family affairs but state affairs, please forgive me if there is anything wrong."

Hearing this, Fu Yanqing had an ominous premonition in his heart, and hurriedly changed his words: "Sage, I don't know why the officials let you go to the last general's camp?"

Fu Xinyu thought for a moment, and her tone of reproach was helpless, "Father, as a veteran of several dynasties and the founding father of the Song Dynasty, how could you know that you broke the law? The official gave you the right to do things cheaply, and ordered you to form a loyal military army to protect your family. country, and you... and what have you done!"

Fu Yanqing had already expected this day, and there was no panic on his face, "What the last general did may be extremely stupid in the eyes of a saint, but it is not the case in Xin Ye's eyes, right?"

Fu Xinyu nodded slightly, "Maybe, but Xinyu is incompetent and cannot exonerate you, let alone exonerate you. Also, father, please don't be obsessed with the death of your brother-in-law and go your own way. Think more for me and for the officials. Think about it, think about it for Da Song."

Fu Yanqing stared into Fu Xinyu's eyes, speechless for a while, anger, disappointment, sadness and many other emotions flashed in his eyes one by one, and finally fell into a deathly silence. "Let's talk about how the officials will deal with the last general, the last general will recognize..." Fu Yanqing frowned from time to time in his military life, but his lips trembled in the face of this situation.

"Alas..." Fu Xinyu sighed, "Father, you are getting old, and it's time to rest. Don't worry, as long as you hand over your military power, the officials will not hold you accountable."

Fu Yanqing was slightly surprised, "As long as the last general handed over power, will the officials really stop pursuing it?"

Fu Xinyu said: "I am your daughter, even if you can't trust the officials, you can trust me."

Fu Yanqing smiled, straightened his back and said: "Okay, the officials can let the last general hand over the power, but the Zhongwu Army is the most powerful in the world, this power is not something everyone can take over! I don't know who the sage wants to replace the last general. Will be willing to listen!"

Fu Xinyu was not in a hurry to answer, but waved to the young man in the jade robe, and said, "What are you still doing, come here and see grandpa."

The young man hurried forward a few steps, and saluted Fu Yanqing: "Grandson Zhao Yuanfen, pay homage to grandpa!"

Fu Yanqing was startled, and looked at Fu Xinyu in surprise, "Saint, I will remember that you have not been out of the palace since you entered the palace. I don't know why this child called me grandpa?"

Fu Xinyu said: "His name is Zhao Yuanfen. He is the fourth son of the official family. He is 13 years old this year. His biological mother, Mrs. Ren, was originally a maid by his daughter's side. The daughter was naturally happy for her. Unexpectedly, the Ren family died of illness when Fen'er was three years old. The daughter couldn't bear to be alone at such a young age, so she repeatedly asked the officials, and the officials finally adopted him. under the daughter's name."

Fu Yanqing suddenly realized: "Oh, the general once heard about this in the family letter written by the sage, and he sighed endlessly. It's just that he is old and has a bad memory, so he forgot it for a while." But he was puzzled and said: "The sage , the final general asked who you plan to let take over the power, but you asked your grandson to come over to greet you at this time, could it be that you plan to let him take over the power?"

Fu Xinyu nodded, "That's right, that's exactly what my daughter wants!"
