Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 994 Fortunately I didn't marry her
Fu Bi: "Your Majesty, please think twice."

"There is no need to talk about Fu Shumi anymore. I have made up my mind."

If you can't let go of your child, you can't trap the wolf.

Using a real military deployment map would have a very high risk factor, but the possibility of luring Xiao Yingsu out is also high.

Coming out of the inner hall, Fu Bi called out to Gu Qingjue, "Prince Jin, wait a minute."

"Rich and sparse."

Fu Bi is already sixty-nine years old this year. Apart from some problems with his legs and feet in the past few years, he is in relatively good health.

He said, "Maybe I am old now, and I don't have the ambition and courage I used to have. The military deployment map is too important. I am not worried about not being able to lure Xiao Yingsu out, but if he escapes back to Liao, it will disrupt the entire military deployment of Song Dynasty. If we don't have time to react, what the consequences will be, you should know."

"Fu Shumi, you are right to worry." Gu Qingjue said, "It's just that Lord Fu didn't attend the court a few days ago. There is something we don't know. The Tibetan government is turbulent. The current Tibetan king is obviously unable to suppress the princes. The Tibetan king may change at any time."

Fu Bi showed a surprised look and looked at Han Qi beside him: "Old Han, I just didn't go to court for a few days, how come this happened?"

"Not only that, you haven't heard anything about the White Bone God that has been making so much noise these days?"

Fu Bi looked at Han Qi and then at Gu Qingjue: "The Bone God is difficult to deal with, but the sect will not ignore this evil creature. What does it have to do with the defense map?"

After Fu Bi finished speaking, he immediately reacted.

"We can't take risks like this. If the information about the defense map is leaked, not only the Liao Dynasty, but also the spies from Tibet and Jiaozhi will spare no effort to snatch it."

"The Bone God is so elusive. He was able to escape even with the two peerless masters working together beside Princess Shuyang. How can we be sure that the defense map can be safely recovered after being stolen?"

"The matter of the White Bone God has nothing to do with the defense map, but if the defense map can be used to lure out Xiao Yingsu and the White Bone God, it would be killing two birds with one stone!"

"Gu Shumi, Prince Jin, have you really thought it through?"

Fu Bi said: "As for Xiao Yingsu, we only know that he is hiding in the court, but we don't know his true identity. If he has a trump card as powerful as the White Bone God, who can resist them?"

As for cultivation sects, except for the hidden families like Mr. Pan who have been loyal to the royal family for generations, no one else will interfere at all.

Can Princess Shuyang and Lord Pan and their men ensure that everything is foolproof?

"Lao Fu, we have to believe in the abilities of young people. You say you are old and afraid. Why do you still care about those things?"

Fu Bi pointed at Han Qi and said with a helpless smile: "Old Han, I am only four years older than you, and your body is not much better than mine."

"I'm not talking about myself."

Your Majesty, it is the younger generation headed by Gu Shumi who are already capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities, and it is time for them to step down and let others take over.

Gu Qingjue began to make arrangements in full swing. For such an important matter, he had to spread the bait one by one and make them believe it. It was not an easy task to act without any doubt.

During this period, the court was quietly undergoing a round of transition from the old to the new.

Fu Bi retired when he was seventy years old. Zhao Rui agreed to Fu Bi's retirement request and retired as a prime minister, which means leaving the court but still being able to participate in state affairs.

Lord Han is in poor health. After retiring from court this time, he has often taken sick leave.

The positions of the two were vacant, and Cao Zhan was promoted to Deputy Privy Councilor, Leng Zhongyan was promoted from Minister of Rites to Imperial Censor, Bai Chengnan was promoted to Imperial Front Commander, Li Duanyuan was promoted to Associate Privy Councilor, and Wang Gongchen was promoted to Junior Tutor of the Crown Prince. Although the current emperor was still young and did not even have an heir, the eldest son of Prince An, Zhao Xing, was often brought into the palace, and Wang Gongchen was responsible for teaching this child.

Naturally, the stubborn old man Wang Gongchen disagreed.

However, since His Majesty has spoken, he can only obey.

Lu Sihui successfully gave birth to a son, Zhao Ming, and the concubine gave birth to a daughter as her second child.

In this way, there were three boys and one girl in Prince An's Mansion.

Looking at Zhao Xing entering the palace every day, Lu Sihui was jealous and crazy.

The last time I went back to the Lu family, I heard my grandfather talk about this matter, saying that Your Majesty might not be able to have children.

Otherwise, why has there been no progress in taking concubines for several years? It was okay for other concubines, but Concubine Ye was so favored, but she still had no children.

Therefore, this child was trained as the crown prince in advance, and everything is now configured according to the standards of the crown prince, except that it has not been directly announced that the child will be adopted under his name.

After Lu Sihui came back, she thought that if the child chosen by His Majesty was hers, who would dare to bully her?

Although she failed to become the queen, it was not impossible for her son to sit on that position.

Of course, such a thing could not be done openly, so Lu Sihui instigated Princess An several times, hoping that Cao Zhuohui would stop it and prevent Zhao Xing from entering the palace first. Her son Zhao Ming and Zhao Heng, born to Cao Zhuohui, were still young, so she still had time to find a solution.

But although Cao Zhuohui was the daughter of a military general, she was very smart and would not respond no matter how she hinted.

Would she be willing to let a concubine's child be superior to her son and have the concubine's child submit to her in the future?

Lu Sihui thought she was very clever, but in Cao Zhuohui's eyes, she was just a clown.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cao Zhuohui brought her children back to the Cao Mansion and told her mother what Lu Sihui had done recently, like telling a joke.

Wen Chuying said, "You are my daughter. I believe you can handle all the tricks she uses. I am just afraid that when she sees that you don't take any action, she will jump over the wall and hurt you and the child."

"Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on."

Wen Chuying sighed and said, "I don't know how Sihui became like this. When you were little, you played together. At that time, I thought it would be nice to be your sister-in-law."

Cao Zhuohui: "Fortunately I didn't marry her, otherwise I wouldn't have a peaceful life."

"When you were ten years old, I noticed the Lu family's intentions, and I didn't let you have too much contact afterwards. After all, this child is still raised with a high mentality. If she can't realize her own problems, she will hurt herself sooner or later."

Cao Zhuohui said: "I don't care about this. She can fight for whatever she wants, but if she dares to use Xing'er as a raft, I will show no mercy."

"It's natural."

"Is Daddy busy now? I've been back for so long, but I haven't seen Daddy yet."

Mentioning Cao Zhan, Wen Chuying smiled a little more: "I have been very busy recently, and I come back very late every day."

"Never mind, let's eat first!"

It was time for dinner. The mother and daughter were preparing to eat when Cao Zhan's hearty laughter came: "I heard Hui'er is back just after I came in."
