I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 215 Father, Son, Brother
Zhao Yuantan and his party did not return to the capital until midsummer in July.After all, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so it is impossible for him to travel lightly, let alone a white dragon fish suit, plus a group of officials and guards of honor, and travel by boat for more than [-] days. This is because the canal is unblocked in the rainy season.

During the year that the crown prince was away, he commanded an army of [-] troops to the south, stationed in Yangzhou, dispatched them in the middle, controlled the troops, and made the Jianghuai Rebellion almost pacified. It made the courtiers admire.

Although he has never personally commanded the army to fight, but as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince concurrently serves as the Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses, turning the situation into a safe place is already a consummation of merit.

After all, no one can let His Royal Highness go down to the front of the two armies to command the army to charge, right?
The Emperor Daojun ordered all the officials to come out to meet him, which is also the right thing to do.And personally presided over the grand ceremony of Victory Taimiao.

At the same time, at the victory ceremony, the eldest son of King Wu was pardoned for the death penalty, because he had the merit of dedicating the city, so he was imprisoned instead.

Because the second son of King Wu had led the army to fight against the official army, he was not pardoned and given death.

Zhao Chengqi, the third son of King Wu, had never resisted the imperial court. After his father's death, he repented and helped the imperial court Wu'anhou to force tens of thousands of rebels to escape the crime of implicating him.

After all, the lineage of King Wu is the direct descendant of Taizu, and the first King of Wu also contributed to the country.

This is also something that many people did not expect. How tolerant they are of the three heirs of King Wu?Can there be two more?

But when everyone thought about it carefully, they all understood the deep meaning of the court's move.

Because the rebellion is not over yet.

These few sons of King Wu, who obviously couldn't make any trouble, were more tolerant, which on the one hand showed the magnanimity of the court.

This is also for Zhao Chengjun, who proclaimed himself emperor.

It's not to make him repent and surrender to the emperor, but to let him know.

There is a way to survive, but you didn't go.No matter how harsh the remaining rebels are next, it will not make people feel that the court is not tolerant enough.

The next decree declared that Zhao Chengjun first "bewitched" Wu Shuren Zhao Deyu to cause chaos, and then proclaimed himself emperor. Unforgivable.

At the same time, Xue Julin, Liu Taiqing, Gu Xianglin, Qian Luo, Li Zichun and other rebellious people are all the same.

There are also Fang Qiu, Fang Jiao, and Pang Zhigu, who have long been unforgivable sins.

After the ceremony, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went back to the East Palace to freshen up, changed into ordinary clothes, and then went to the Queen's Palace. The Emperor Daojun also came to the Queen's Palace, with the Queen, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince who had just been named the King of Yue. Zhao Yuanying had a family dinner.

And made an exception and drank a few glasses of wine.

After the family banquet, the Taoist emperor and the prince naturally wanted to talk about state affairs, and the queen took the youngest son out for a walk.

"Da Lang's victory over Jianghuai this time, will he gain anything?"

"Back to Aye, this time I know that the Taizu said that 'a fierce general is sent in the army, and a prime minister needs a scholar' is really a wise saying. Along the way, watching the dispatch of soldiers and horses, how to set up camps, how to march and deploy troops, how to transfer food and grass, light Dealing with these matters requires a lot of experience. With the ability of a son-in-law, I am afraid that he can't even lead a thousand soldiers. This is a bit of progress for Yuan Li. He first fought with Saburo in Shouzhou, and then led the army alone There are already famous generals in Jiangnan."

"Hahahaha, in the future, Yuanzhang will definitely be your right-hand man."

Emperor Daojun was very satisfied when he heard the crown prince praising King Qi.

As for the inside story of King Qi leading troops in the south of the Yangtze River, he naturally knew about it, but he was satisfied that the crown prince did not specifically point out that King Qi was not yet capable of commanding an army. Annihilation.

The second is that Fu Sanlang had already planned the strategy before he sent troops, and sent his staff to assist.

In fact, none of this can be hidden from the Taoist emperor.

He was satisfied that the prince did not emphasize the details, belittling his brother and exalting his cronies in front of the emperor.

Although they are all the truth, there are some truths that don't need to be mentioned, just tacit understanding.

Moreover, a king must learn to be impartial, and he must also learn the way of balance.

For example, in this matter, Fu Sanlang has made great contributions and is the prince's confidant. At this time, what needs to be done is to support another person to prevent Fu Sanlang's family from dominating. This is balance.

King Qi is obviously a pretty good candidate.But this candidate actually has certain risks. After all, King Qi is also a prince, and he is a person who can compete with His Royal Highness for the reserve position from a legal point of view.

At this time, the prince's mind and tolerance are tested.Although the imperial decree was issued at that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can actually selectively execute it according to the actual situation.

That is to say, "the general will not accept the order of the king outside."

But Zhao Yuantan's choice to obey the will meant that he understood the considerations of going to Beijing.

Emperor Daojun naturally didn't have the idea of ​​supporting King Qi to fight for power or even the crown prince, but he still wanted his sons to be successful.

I hope that their brothers can be brothers and sisters.

From the current point of view, whether it is the crown prince or King Qi, or even other princes, at least he is very satisfied with this matter.

"Then Dalang thinks, how should we proceed with Cheng Jun's rebellion?" Zhao Lingyuan continued to test the school.

Zhao Yuantan thought for a moment and said: "Back to Aye, my son has read the battle report, Wu Ni's rebellion, but it involved both Jianghuai and Huaihe Rivers, while Honglian made a rebellion and ran around. Sichuan and Chu are mountainous and waterways are criss-crossing. The benefit of the navy, although Wukang is good at using soldiers, but after all, there are few soldiers, and there is no famous position to command the army. My son thinks that the first thing is to increase the number of troops. Now that Jiangnan is settled, it can make magic strategies, martial arts, dragons, and tigers The five armies of Yi and Longwu are reinforcements. As for the Guizheng Army, which was originally trained by the Red Lotus Army, they can temporarily stay in Huainan, so that the Anguo Army and Guangrui Army in Huainan can be transferred to Jiangnan to guard against rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River. "

"It is also necessary to grant Marquis Wukang the right to control the two major governor's houses. Uncle Chu Wang has a high status and is unwilling to be restrained by Marquis Wukang. He can be transferred to be the governor of Anzhou, and Wukanghou will be the governor of Xiangzhou. Naturally, the military state under his jurisdiction can be mobilized smoothly, and the governor of Jingzhou, Wang Hechen, is a veteran, but has a docile temperament. It is a matter of course for Wukanghou to be the commander of the Shannan Road March." Zhao Lingyuan thought for a while after hearing this and asked, "This is all Da Lang. Discuss with the Eastern Palace staff?"

Zhao Yuantan said: "Mostly the prince's guest, Fu Huaichuan, conspired with the prince Zhongyun Lin Changyuan."

Zhao Lingyuan laughed and said, "I never thought that Fu Maoxiu's eldest son would be so outstanding. Hahaha, it's true that a tiger father has no sons. The two brothers of the Fu family have the eldest son Xiao Qifu and the second son Xiao Qizu."

As for the Fu family, Da Lang Fu Huaichuan returned to Beijing as the eldest son, so the house was naturally extremely lively.

Fu Zhujun, who is already the princess of the county, also returned home to see his brother.

After the family banquet, Fu Maoxiu, who had drunk some wine, brought his eldest son to the study room. He drank a sip of tea to soothe the alcohol, and then asked, "How are Sanlang, Wulang and Liulang from Yangzhou?"

Fu Huaichuan said: "It's all good. Sanlang sent all his companions to be Marquis of Du Yu. Now Wulang and Liulang are in charge of the Yabing for him. The two of them also participated in the battle of Shouzhou with Sanlang, but Saburo said that Goro was too soft-tempered to lead soldiers."

Fu Maoxiu nodded when he heard the words: "Wulang's temperament can't be changed, but it's always a good thing to have experience in the army. When he returns to Shangjing in the future, let him handle housework with your third uncle more often. Naturally, this mess at home has to be done." manned"

"Didn't Sanlang lose his temper because of being captured as the chief general of the Southern Expedition?"

"No. The marching route used by King Qi in the south of the Yangtze River was drawn up by Saburo in Yangzhou, and he even sent his aides from the Governor's Mansion to help King Qi handle military affairs. This matter was done in front of His Royal Highness and all the people Civil and military officials will teach you how to do it face to face."

Fu Huaichuan explained Fu Jinchuan's reaction in detail.

"Sanlang looks at Chuhao, and his thoughts are quite clear,"

After hearing this, Fu Maoxiu laughed and said, "Well, you brothers, except for Balang, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps."

Fu Huaichuan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this nondescript metaphor.

But Fu Maoxiu didn't think it was wrong, and continued: "You and Sanlang are brothers of the same mother. Although Sanlang has divided the mansion, the blood relationship will continue. In the future, the Fu family will still depend on you two. You still have to take care of it. Mention him more."

Fu Huaichuan said solemnly: "Don't worry, Aye, I understand."

Looking through the history books, there are countless people who fought for power and profit and brothers killed each other, and there are also countless brothers and sisters who prospered and their families prospered.

Fathers, of course, want their sons to be the latter.

But this kind of matter has never been decided by a father.
