I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 260
Since Fu Jinchuan entered Shu, although there were few reports, he reported the military situation and the situation in various places as usual.

But it reassured the Shangjing court a lot.After all, although the new Jiedushi is young, he has made outstanding military exploits.Whether it is against the Qingtang people or against the Red Lotus Army, they are invincible.

Regardless of whether it is a civil servant or a military general, most of them feel that although Fu Jinchuan's business has not yet heard good news, Jiannan Road should be worry-free.

The Fu family in the British government has become much deserted recently. Saburo has already divided the government, Dalang, Shiro, Goro and Liulang are all not in the capital. Lang Fu Huaichuan's eldest son is only six years old.

However, this desolation soon changed. The second master of the Fu family, Fu Maoyan, returned to Beijing, which made the family much more lively.

Among the five Fu Maoxiu brothers, the second eldest, Fu Maoyan, and the fourth eldest, Fu Maoren, served as generals in the army in the early years. When Fu Xun was alive, he often went to war with his second and fourth eldest.

As the eldest son of the family, Fu Maoxiu is more in charge of the family.

Although he has a close relationship with Emperor Daojun, before he went to Hexi, Fu Maoxiu, the British Duke, was not well-known, and the reputation of the Fu family in the army was all supported by Fu Maoyan, the governor of Qingzhou.

This time, following Fu Jinchuan's appointment as an official in Jiannan Road, Fu Maoyan was finally transferred back to the capital, and he couldn't run away as the commander of the Sanya palace.

When the governor of the outer town returned to Beijing, he naturally had to face the saint. In front of the Daming Palace, Fu Maoyan was wearing a red military officer's robe and a soft-winged headdress. He was more than eight feet tall and had a resolute face.Unlike his elder brother Fu Maoxiu who can speak, this second master of the Fu family has always been reticent and reticent.

"Your Majesty, Fu Maoyan, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Fu Qing is not polite, you and I haven't seen each other for seven or eight years, right?" Zhao Lingyuan, who was wearing a Taoist robe, smiled and gave a little help.

"Returning to Your Majesty, when I went to Qingzhou, it was the 12th year of Xuanjia. I was appointed as a co-prefect for the first time, and later, with the kindness of His Majesty, I was selected as the governor of Qingzhou. It has been almost eight years now."

Fu Maoyan's reply was meticulous.Zhao Lingyuan nodded after hearing this, and then said: "The Qing family has done a good job in Qingzhou. Last year, when Honglian started an incident, the prefectures under the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion were the fastest to calm down. It is Fu Qing's responsibility to serve as an official and protect the environment and the people. merit."

"This is because the soldiers fought bloody battles, and the common people actively cooperated with the court to suppress the bandits, but the ministers did not dare to take credit for it."

"Hehe, Fu Qing is too modest. Although you and Duke Ying are brothers, you have different personalities. You are more like King Wu Yi than him." "Your Majesty appreciates it."

Both Fu Maoxiu and Fu Maoyan are the sons of Fu Xun, the king of Wuyi, and they are both sons. However, Fu Maoxiu is smooth and wise. Guo Shixun, the governor of Hexi Province, was killed in the old department of the old family. As the leader, the Fu family naturally sent someone to clean up the situation.

Only then did the world know that apart from being close to the Taoist emperor and making money, the British Duke also had the ability to use soldiers.

This can only be said to be a family tradition.

And Fu Maoyan fought with Fu Xun when he was young. After Fu Xun's death, he served successively as military envoy, governor and acquaintance, and now he is the governor of the Central Mansion.

Returning to Beijing this time, he also made great achievements in exterminating bandits and pacifying Honglian, so he will naturally be promoted.

For him, the governor of Qingzhou, in Shangjing, Gao Sheng is naturally the commander of Sanya Palace.With the qualifications of being the commander of the Sanya Temple, it is only logical to send out a Jiedu envoy later.

The only variable may be Saburo Fu.

If Fu Sanlang had been an official abroad, then it would be impossible for Fu Maoyan to send Jiedu envoys abroad.

After all, there are currently only five Jiedushi positions in the Great Jin Dynasty.

Can the Fu family still occupy two?That would be too much.

With the way the British government has always acted, even if the emperor doesn't care, the Fu family will try their best to avoid taking the risk.

"I heard that Fu Qing's son is still unmarried?"

Hearing the emperor's question about his son's marriage, Fu Maoyan said: "Your Majesty, the marriage was originally arranged, but the granddaughter of Xin Guogong's family died young. I have been busy with military affairs these few years, and he has been away with me all the time. It is indeed a delay." ..."

Zhao Lingyuan smiled and said: "In this case, I have a suitable candidate for the son's marriage. The crown princess has a younger sister. Because of filial piety, the marriage has been delayed, and no marriage has been discussed yet. She should be two years younger than the son. What does Fu Qing think?"

When Fu Maoyan heard this, His Majesty has already granted the marriage directly, so what room for negotiation is there?Thank you and you're done.

Half an hour after entering the palace, Fu Maoyan came out, and Fu Qingchuan, the Erlang at the gate of the palace, was waiting.There were two and a half children standing beside them.

"Aye."

Erlang Fu Qingchuan looks very similar to Fu Maoyan, but because he is younger, he is more handsome.

"Meet Uncle"

"I met my uncle."

These two teenagers were Qilang and Balang, and the older brothers in the family were not there, so they were asked to guide Fu Maoyan.

Seeing the two nephews, Fu Maoyan seldom showed a smile: "It's Qilang and Balang, right? They are so old, can they still be as good as me?"

Qilang said: "Remember."

Hachiro laughed and said, "Second Uncle is very powerful, so I will remember it."

"Hahahaha. You kid, you can speak well, but you are just like your brother. Let's go, go home."

Fu Maoyan patted Hachiro on the head, and then rode on the tall horse with extremely agile movements, which looked like a perennial pommel horse.

Erlang Fu Qingchuan and Qilang Hachiro also got on their horses, and the whole group went to the British government with a guard of honor.

Fu Maoxiu, the British Duke of the mansion, personally led a group of people in the family, and opened the door to welcome his brother home.

Far away from the gate of the mansion, Fu Maoyan saw his elder brother with a smile that couldn't be hidden from the corner of his mouth.

When he got to the front of the mansion, he got off his horse and cupped his hands and said, "I've seen my brother."

Fu Maoxiu stepped forward to hold his brother's arm and said, "Second brother has suffered all these years."

"Brother is serious."

The third uncle and the fifth uncle also rushed forward to salute the second brother. The four brothers finally gathered together except for the late fourth brother.

Erlang Fu Qingchuan and Jiulang Fu Jichuan also greeted the elders respectively, and the whole house was extremely lively.

The brothers reunited after a long absence, so naturally they wanted to have a few drinks.But Fu Maoyan had just returned to Beijing, so naturally he had many things to discuss with his elder brother, so the family dinner at noon was just a taste of it.

After the meal, Fu Maoyan came to the ancestral hall with his elder brother, first offered incense to the ancestors, and then talked about the matter of meeting the king today.

"Today, His Majesty asked about Erlang's marriage, and pointed out the concubine's younger sister to Erlang, saying that it was due to filial piety that he missed the marriage, and that he happened to be of the right age with Erlang. What does the elder brother think about this matter?"

After hearing this, Fu Maoxiu said: "What else can I do? Since Your Majesty has opened his mouth, there is nothing to say about this matter. She is also the sister of the Crown Princess. This is to tie our Fu family with the Crown Prince. I am really afraid that our Fu family will The family is not doing their best."

Fu Maoyan was a little surprised when he heard the words, "Where did you really say that, brother?"

Fu Maoxiu sighed and said: "You have been an official outside for a long time, and you should know that the current imperial court's wealth is not enough, and it is in deficit every year. Now it is mobilizing troops everywhere, and it seems to be worse. The slight improvement in the past few years is due to the extermination of Buddhas and confiscations. Your Majesty intends to implement the new policy, and has been discussing it with Li Xie and others for a long time, and it will probably be implemented in the 21st year of Xuanjia."

After hearing this, Fu Maoyan said: "Then what does this have to do with my Fu family? Could it be the elder brother?"

Fu Maoxiu shook his head: "It's nothing, I didn't get involved in the reform, and the things related to the army are already being done. After the establishment of the new army under the command of Generalissimo Xingyuan, the 36 guards of the imperial army will definitely be gradually reduced. They will all be replaced by the new army. Besides, it is nothing more than tax law and official administration. With His Majesty's skill and wisdom, he will naturally carry out the New Deal. Bind all these sons and daughters of our Fu family with the prince, just to let our Fu family contribute to the prince and escort him."

"Good intentions"
