Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 39 The Fu Family Mansion
After the day was settled, Shi Congyun paid wages to the grooms, and gave them a reward of [-] yuan each, and then sent them away.

Afterwards, everyone moved everything in, and temporarily arranged Wang Zhong, Shao Ji, and more than a dozen sergeants to the outer courtyard at the door, which was originally for nursing homes.

After all, they walked fast when there were fewer people, and Shi Yanchao's army had not returned yet.

In the next two days, the aunt and the aunt took everyone to clean up the house and arranged for Zhao Shijian to live in the same courtyard with him. Sima Zhao's intentions were known to everyone.

Zhao Shijian neither agreed nor opposed, Shi Congyun also understood what the aunt and the little girl meant by this arrangement, but he felt that the little girl was easy to use, she was a good girl, and it would be good to be a wife in the future, but she was still young.

In fact, he didn't think about it that much. He always took a step by step to see how the road was going.

It really made him cherish the world, thinking about what the official Guo Rong and the ministers thought, but he couldn't do it at all, because he thought about it in vain.

The so-called head following the butt is also the most realistic and useful decision-making attitude.

What he wanted to solve at the moment was to quickly find some assistants for his father, and make Shi Yanchao's little shogunate better. Although it could not be called a shogunate, it was almost what it meant.

This award will not be finalized until the official family returns, but Shi Yanchao's construction festival is definitely indispensable.

Among the ten high-ranking officials of the Imperial Army, there must be Shi Yanchao, who needs someone to give him advice.

There are two major systems of the Zhou Dynasty's forbidden army, namely: the guards and the pro-military Ma Bujun command the envoys, and the palace fronts command the envoys; referred to as the bodyguards and the palace fronts.

The top five high-ranking officials of the Guards Division are: Commander of the Guards Pro-Army Ma Jundu, Deputy Commander of the Guards Pro-Army Ma Infantry, Guards Pro-Army Ma Jun Du Yu Hou, Guards Pro-Army Ma Jundu Commander, Guards Pro-Army Infantry All commanders.

The prefects of the hall are: check in front of the hall, check in the deputy capital in front of the hall, commander in front of the hall, commander in front of the deputy capital, and Marquis Yu in front of the hall.

As long as you are promoted to one of these ten positions, you will enter the power center of the Zhou Dynasty.

When Zhao Kuangyin usurped the throne, he was in the front of the hall to check in, and he was in command of the front office.

Shi Congyun remembered that before Guo Rong's death, the guards and the army commanded the envoys and the front of the palace inspected the positions of these two leaders. They were Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde. , and Guo Rong are very close.

Therefore, the remaining positions are for the generals to compete for.

As for whether it is the front office or the bodyguard, I can't say for sure.
Shi Yanchao used to be the Guards Division, that is because the former Guards Divisions were strong in soldiers and strong in the front and behind the palace, and they were far inferior to the Guard Division in terms of soldiers and combat effectiveness.

But the emperor and the courtiers of the dynasty, and the forbidden army had a lot of crotch performance in the battle of Gaoping, if Guo Rong wanted to reorganize the forbidden army, it must be the newly built front division of the palace that is more likely to become his confidant.

Therefore, if the official family valued the old man, in all likelihood, he would be transferred from the guard division to the front division of the palace, and then balanced the strength of the two army divisions, taking the opportunity to install their own cronies, establish authority, and weaken the guards close to the army division in order to control.

Of course, these are just his guesses. What will happen will only be known when the steward's family returns to Beijing.

In the next few days, Shi Congyun, Wang Zhong and Shao Ji will go to Daliang City together, and of course he will bring his guide Zhao Shijian.

Since knowing that Zhao Shijian is Zhao Ying's granddaughter, Shi Congyun doesn't call her as casually as before, but calls her politely, and what he does has not changed at all.

Shi Congyun proposed to visit Zhao Shijian's father, but later heard that their family had moved out of the city and could not go for a while, so he had to give up.

Zhao Shijian took them around Daliang City in a few days.

After the Shi family settled down, guests slowly came.

The location of their mansion is facing the imperial palace in the north, and just across the street are Kaifeng Mansion, Shangshu Province, Secretary Province, Taichang Temple, etc. It is not something that ordinary people can live in.

The people around are not ordinary people. There are many elites, and many of them have already inquired about it. When they come to visit, they do not need to introduce people to know that it is the Shi family, and what kind of person Shi Yanchao is.

However, most of the people who come here are from the West Street side, and they speak more forthrightly. Zhao Shijian told him quietly in private that this is almost an unwritten rule, and no one will say it outright, but it is actually the West Street side. Most of them are from aristocratic families of military commanders, while there are more literati on the East Street. Although it is not absolute, this trend is generally formed.

So people from East Street rarely visit them.

Only then did Shi Congyun understand that every place has its own "local customs".

Zhao Shijian knew a lot, and after several days, he took him to learn about Daliang.

Even the most important households have told him, such as a Zhumen mansion opposite the Daxiangguo Temple on East Street. Although the gate is closed and there are few in and out, Zhao Shijian told him that it was the Fu family's mansion.

"The Fu family has been crowned king for three generations, and now Mrs. Wei Guo is also named queen. She has a rich family background. Be careful when dealing with them." Zhao Shijian told him in front of the door.

Shi Congyun nodded. He remembered that when Madam Weiguo was enthroned as the empress, the official family was still on the front line, and he still ordered the Secretary to prepare a book of ceremonies.

To put it bluntly, the official family is out in person, and the queen needs to be in the court to calm people's hearts, and the Fu family is so strong that even the emperor has to win over.

There are similarities between this time and Guo Rong's death, the sister of Empress Fu, both of which are politically significant. Later, when Zhao Kuangyin succeeded to the throne, he also wanted to win over the Fu family. Zhao Guangyi's queen was still Fu Yanqing's daughter.

This alone shows how powerful the Fu family is, and what Zhao Shijian said is right.

Just as he and Zhao Shijian stopped to look at it, a sedan chair came from the corner of Qingzhuan Avenue in the east, followed by two maids.

Zhao Shijian pulled him, and the two stepped back to make way, and retreated to the big tree by the roadside.

The sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the mansion, and then came down a graceful young woman in a delicate red skirt. She walked briskly and took a few steps to the front steps. She seemed to be in a good mood.

Shi Congyun could only see a beautiful figure, the person was walking too fast, and he couldn't even see the profile, but the identity of the person was inseparable.

"Maybe it's the daughter of the Fu family." Zhao Shijian guessed.

"It's most likely Fu Ermei." Shi Congyun interjected, feeling a little bit of realization in his heart.

He said that in history, Empress Erfu did not marry in her 20s, which is very unreasonable in this era, not to mention that a rich family like the Fu family can't find a marriage just by asking?
How many people want to marry, no matter how ugly she is.

But now he realized that it wasn't that he couldn't get married, but that he kept it for the official family.

Fu Yanqing is an old fox. He may have asked his second daughter to wait in the capital, just in case, or he may have just found an opportunity to send both daughters to Guo Rong's palace, so that their Fu family will sit firmly on Diaoyutai no matter what.

Shi Congyun shook his head, he was still too young, he didn't expect the Fu family to be able to do this.
So Lala Zhao Shijian said: "Let's go, we can't climb this lintel."

This is specially reserved for officials, power is really a good thing.He said the second half of the sentence in his heart and didn't tell the little girl.

By the end of June, one day early in the morning, news came from outside the city that the Chinese army of the official family had returned!
