I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 177
Emperor Daojun appointed his son-in-law's general, but Fu Maoxiu had no opinion.

After leaving the palace and returning to the mansion, Fu Maoxiu originally wanted someone to find his eldest son-in-law Zhao Fubai, but he did not expect that there was a guest at home.

"I saw my uncle."

The visitor was around seven feet tall, square-faced, wearing a black round-neck robe, neatly bearded and haired, respectful and courteous to Fu Maoxiu.

But it was Li Zhaode, the Duke of Wei who had just taken over the title.

"Nephew, don't be too polite, sit down."

"Thank you uncle."

It has been a while since Li Zhaode came to the British government, and just now it was Shiro Fu Weichuan who was entertaining the guests.Seeing his uncle coming back, he greeted the guests directly and retreated.

He knew that although the two families were old relatives by marriage, Li Zhaode is now the Duke of the state, and he will not come to the door if there is nothing wrong.

After Shiro went down, Li Zhaode exchanged greetings with Fu Maoxiu, and then expressed his intentions.

"Don't hide it from my uncle, my nephew came to the door rashly this time, and really asked for something, so I asked my uncle for help."

When he said this, Li Zhaode got up straight away and took a deep look.

Seeing this, Fu Maoxiu sighed and said, "Nephew, what is this doing? I know your purpose. You just want to find a military post to fight the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River. Your father's last wish has been fulfilled."

"I also ask my uncle to complete this matter."

After Li Zhaode got rid of his clothes, he immediately went to play, requesting to go to the south of the Yangtze River to join the war.

After all, his father died of illness in the army, and the army was subsequently defeated, which caused great criticism to the entire Duke of Wei.

In order to revive the reputation of the family, Li Zhaode successively put on several performances for the battle, but without exception, they all fell into the sea and stayed in the middle.

The attitude of Emperor Daojun made the whole Li family feel somewhat worried.

So Li Zhaode could only come to Fu Maoxiu for advice.

After all, they are in-laws, and Fu Jia Dalang is Li Zhaode's sister-in-law.In the Southern Expedition Army, he was also given the honorable position of the Eastern Palace as a guest of the prince.

And Fu Maoxiu himself is inextricably linked with the Taoist emperor.

Everyone in the capital knew that the most trusted civil servant of the emperor must be the powerful Shangshu Zuopu and Li Xiang.

Li Fuzhi and Zhao Lingyuan are absolutely worthy of each other.

Speaking of generals, the British Duke is naturally the best candidate.

This pair of monarchs and ministers have been friends for decades, and Fu Maoxiu has been banned from the palace, which is like walking on the ground.

Every time Li Fuzhi went to the Daojun Emperor's Jingshen Jingshe to face the emperor, it would never exceed half an hour.

But Fu Maoxiu went to Jinshen Abode, and sometimes he stayed for half a day.Recently, due to wars in many places, he often participates in military aircraft.

This is why the censors like to impeach the emperor's confidant.

The closer the honorable emperor is, the easier it is to be impeached by Qingliu.This is almost the weather vane of Yushitai.

And the Duke of Wei, who had just taken over the title, couldn't figure out the pulse of the Taoist emperor, so he could only come to ask Fu Maoxiu for advice.

After all, Li Fuzhi and Fu Maoxiu are the ones who can best understand the holy will in Shangjing.

"Nephew, you said that you want to go to Jiangnan to participate in the war, have you thought about it, what did you go to Jiangnan for?"

Li Zhaode said: "As long as you can go to the war, you can even be a captain."

Fu Maoxiu shook his head and said, "If you are a prince, you will lose your status if you go to be a military envoy. When you go to the south, are you planning to be a subordinate of the Marshal's Mansion? Or are you a deputy general of Marquis Pingbei and Marquis Wukang?"

Li Zhaode was a little stunned by these words. To be an official of the marshal's mansion is noble, but he definitely won't get any military exploits.

At most, it is the counselor's military plane, but the advantage is that it is in front of the prince.
But if he wants to be a general all the way, how can there be a position for him?
At present, among several armies, Marquis Fu Jinchuan of Wu'an has crossed the river, Marquis of Wukang Cheng Jintang led the army to the land of Jingchu, and the remaining Marquis of Pingbei was just appointed as the governor of Hongzhou.

These are the three marquises in the southern army. If he is allowed to go, unless he is an official of the marshal's mansion, the chance of leading an army alone will be gone.

Let him replace one of them, he doesn't have the qualifications and popularity.

Marquis Pingbei and Marquis Wukang are both veteran generals in the army, and their reputation is not as good as that of the deceased Qiyang Wuxiang King Li Shizhong.But it is still more than enough than him, a duke who has just become a prince.

Although Fu Jinchuan is young, he has made great achievements in battle. He has been a general for five years, and he is already one of the best generals in the world.

Not to mention the previous Battle of Baiting in Hexi and the Battle of Shule, but just talking about the Battle of Hezhou after Huainan, where Wu Ni's [-] army was wiped out with [-] troops. Shake the world.

The Honglian uprising swept through more than ten cities in Luzhou and Shouzhou, engulfing tens of thousands of people.result?Of those beaten by Fu Jinchuan within half a month, only a few thousand remained and fled away.

Thousands of cavalry troops attacked Luzhou for six days in the first battle, defeating tens of thousands of Honglian troops and fleeing in all directions.

Who can he replace these three people?You can only be a lieutenant general at most.

Only now did Li Zhaode understand a little bit.After all, he has just become a prince, and he has not brought himself into the identity of the Duke.

He also didn't know the constraints imposed on him by the Duke's title.

In fact, Li Zhaode is also skilled in bow and horse, and has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, but he has never been in battle.

Li Shizhong has been an official outside, so he, the eldest son of the Duke's mansion, cannot be moved.There was only one idle job on him, and he resigned when his father died.

Fu Maoxiu's words made Li Zhaode enlightened.

"Thank you, Uncle, for your clarification."

"Nephew, you don't need to be too polite."

"My little nephew is not easy to settle here, what about my second brother?"

"Zhaoxin can go directly to the army. Dalang and Sanlang are both in Jianghuai, so they can also take care of them."

Li Zhaode cupped his fists and said, "Thank you uncle."

Fu Maoxiu continued to comfort him: "You and I are relatives by marriage and have been friends for generations, so you don't have to be polite. Just be patient and worry about Father Ding at home. When the time is right, I will speak with His Majesty to find a military post for you."

Li Zhaode got up again to thank him, and then left.

Fu Maoxiu asked Shiro outside the hall to escort him out, and sat in the hall drinking tea, but he felt a little desolate.

Li Zhaode is not considered outstanding among the group of honored children, but he is regarded as an upper-middle-class talent.

In recent years, Li Shizhong has mostly been guarding the army abroad, and his eldest son is taking care of all family affairs.

But other than that, there is nothing to show for it, and the ability to lead troops to fight is also not obvious.

The Li family would not be defeated in his hands, but it would be good just to maintain the family.

On the contrary, his younger brother Li Zhaoxin, who has followed his father for a long time, has a bit of vigor and should be able to make a name for himself.

"Uncle, Duke Wei has gone back."

After sending Li Zhaode back, Fu Silang returned to the hall.

Fu Maoxiu looked up at his nephew, and then asked, "How are Qilang and Balang doing in the Imperial College these days?"

"Qilang has always been doing well in his studies. Although his talent is limited, the master said that he has a gentleman's style. As for Balang, he is not bad these days, but he seems to have some friction with the young man of Wei Gong's family. Today, when Wei Gong came to the door, I thought He came to the door to inquire about the crime."

Fu Maoxiu sneered when he heard this, "This kid just needs to be cleaned up. I was not at home a few years ago and let your aunt spoil me."

Shiro smiled after hearing this, but couldn't say anything.

Fu Maoxiu was very satisfied when he mentioned the children in the family.

To be precise, it should be proud.

The eldest son, Huaichuan, is calm and prudent, with superior intelligence and ability to keep his family safe.

The second son, Jinchuan, was brave and good at fighting, and became famous all over the world at a young age, and he earned the title of Marquis himself.

Several subordinates, such as Erlang, Shiro, Liulang, etc., also have general disciples who should have vigor.

As for the concubine Goro and the youngest Hachiro, it would be nice if they could enjoy wealth and honor under the protection of their elder brothers and not cause trouble.

This British government is in his hands, at least it can be regarded as worthy of the ancestors
When he came back to his senses, Fu Maoxiu suddenly remembered about his son-in-law.

"Shiro, send someone to call Zhu Jun and Fu Bai over here."

Fu Maoxiu suddenly remembered that although Zhao Fubai had enough fame, he had no foundation in the imperial army. On the contrary, it was Li Zhaode who inherited the title of Duke of Wei. middle.

But the qualifications are not as good as Cheng Jintang.
It's more suitable than Zhao Fubai.
