The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 186 Uncle Guo’s hardcore matchmaking

In less than half a day, Puzhou Zicheng was captured by the veteran Bai Wenke. When Zhu Xiu and the Fu family brothers and sisters left the warehouse, they had already received news that Bai Wenke was leading the army to hunt down Li Shouzhen and his son.

Hearing that Guo Wei was visiting the Prince of Qin's Mansion, he did not stay much, and directly ordered the Prince's Mansion to be sealed off. He moved to the former prefectural government office to live temporarily, and set it up as the general office of the camp, temporarily supervising the important military and political affairs of Puzhou.

After Zhu Xiu and others found out, they rushed directly to the Yamen of the state capital.

The palace of Prince Qin was luxurious and magnificent, and it was certainly more comfortable to live in than the Yamen of the state capital.

If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would have moved in and enjoyed it.

Anyway, the entire Puzhou and even the entire Guanzhong are still under the control of Guo Wei, the general who has deployed all the Taoist camps in the pass and is the governor of the military affairs of the states. The [-] troops that had just wiped out Li Shouzhen's rebellion were stationed outside Puzhou City.

Under the commander's flag, all the townsmen obeyed orders, and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army sincerely supported him. They said without politeness that Guo Wei was the king of Guanzhong at this moment.

However, Uncle Guo is Uncle Guo. He holds immense power and the power of victory. He still keeps his head clear and turns a blind eye to the Qin Prince's palace, which is filled with gold and silver treasures. He orders the treasury to be sealed and sends the left army commander, veteran Li Qian, to take charge. Count the guards.

Li Qian was a man of integrity and a general of the Forbidden Army. She was directly responsible to the emperor. Even though Uncle Guo was the privy envoy, he had no right to dispatch him directly.

Uncle Guo asked Li Qian to search for and destroy the wealth left by Li Shouzhen and his son. If Li Qian reported the truth truthfully, the officials and the court would feel more at ease.

To avoid people in the court saying that he privately withheld the traitor's family property and enriched his own pockets.

Uncle Guo's arrangements after entering the city fully demonstrate the experience of an old fritter who has been in court for many years.

The essence of it is worthy of Zhu Xiu's careful taste.

Of course, Uncle Guo sealed the Prince Qin's Mansion was not an act of pretense, he was genuinely not interested in money and treasures.

Guo Wei was very busy, and the Puzhou military and political yamen was almost paralyzed from top to bottom. He needed to sort it out from the beginning, select officials, and restore operation and management.

However, when I heard that the Fu family brothers and sisters were coming to visit, I immediately put aside the matters at hand to meet them.

In the hall, after saluting, Guo Wei stood up and walked down, looked at Fu Jinzhan, and said with emotion: "We haven't seen each other for many years, I really can't recognize him! I remember the last time we met, it was when you got married that year, your father sent you to Jinzhou to get married. , I came from Taiyuan to have a wedding banquet and met him briefly."

Fu Jinzhan Yingying bowed down and said, "My niece Jinzhan wishes to greet my uncle! Thank you uncle for saving your life! Congratulations to your uncle for wiping out the rebellion and making another unparalleled contribution to our dynasty!"

"Haha~ My eldest niece, please get up quickly!" Guo Wei laughed heartily and helped Fu Jinzhan to stand up.

Zhu Xiu stood aside and couldn't help grinning.

Fu Jinzhan is Li Shouzhen's daughter-in-law. Uncle Guo mobilized troops to destroy Fu Jinzhan's entire family. In the end, Fu Jinzhan was still grateful to Uncle Guo.

Historical things are so bloody.
Fu Zhaoxin knelt down on one knee and solemnly expressed his gratitude again.

It would be best if Fu Jinzhan was alive. Firstly, Fu Yanqing would not lose his beloved daughter. Secondly, many rumors in Kaifeng about Fu Jinzhan and Li's father and son plotting rebellion would be self-defeating.

Guo Wei pointed at Zhu Xiu and said with a smile: "This guy deserves the most credit for being able to quickly pacify Puzhou this time! The rescue of my niece was all due to his planning. You'd better thank him!"

The brother and sister bowed in front of each other and thanked each other. Zhu Xiu quickly waved his hands to avoid them: "Brother Fu and Madam Fu have already thanked them, so there is no need to be more polite."

Guo Wei glanced at Zhu Xiu, then at Fu Jinzhan, suddenly grinned strangely and said, "Girl Jinzhan, I remember you have a younger sister, what's her name, seems to be about the same age as Zhu boy?"

Fu Jinzhan smiled and said: "Second sister Jin Huan, my brother and I were born from the same mother. She is 17 years old this year."

"Oh~ yes, it's called Fu Jinhuan!" Guo Wei slapped his forehead, pointed at Zhu Xiu and said, "I remember that your sister hasn't been married to anyone yet. How about asking your father to consider Mr. Zhu?"

Fu Jinzhan was taken aback for a moment, and he and Fu Zhaoxin looked at each other, and both looked at Zhu Xiu.

Zhu Xiu staggered and almost fell to the ground. She smiled bitterly and handed over her hand: "Commander, please don't make fun of me!"

Guo Wei said with a fierce face: "When did I make a joke? You and the two girls from the Fu family are of the same age. One is unmarried and the other is unmarried. Why can't you consider it?"

"Uh..." Zhu Xiu looked up and found that Guo Wei was turning his back on the Fu brothers and sisters, and kept winking at her.Fu Jinzhan pursed his lips and chuckled, looked at Zhu Xiu thoughtfully, "What uncle said makes sense."

When Guo Wei saw Fu Zhaoxin frowning, he patted his shoulder with his rough hands and glared, "What, you're not happy?"

Fu Zhaoxin trembled and said with a wry smile: "Shuai Guo, please forgive me. I don't dare to make the decision on my own in this matter. I have to go back and ask my father for instructions."

Guo Wei shouted: "You can't make the decision. I personally wrote a letter to Duke Wei!"

Fu Zhaoxin was speechless and could only smile bitterly.

Zhu Xiu had never thought of marrying the Fu family, he had already hugged Uncle Guo and Chai Rong's thighs, and he didn't need to climb the high branches of the Fu family anymore.

Moreover, the Fu family has a distinguished family and a strong background. With his current status, if he really marries a daughter of the Fu family, he is afraid that he will be regarded as a son-in-law.
Uncle Guo mentioned the matter of marriage in person, which really made everyone present feel embarrassed.

Uncle Guo was so gangster that he didn't pull a red string at all, but tied the man and woman together with a red hemp rope.
Where is Yue Lao, he is clearly a bandit robbing people.

Zhu Xiu also didn't want to put Fu Zhaoxin and Fu Jinzhan in trouble and ruin their friendship, so he hurriedly said: "Guo Shuai, you can't do it! I come from a humble background, and I have been living in a humble place so far. I haven't even had a formal application to the court. How can I be worthy of being the daughter of the Fu family?" ! If it spreads, it will only make people laugh!"

Guo Weihu glared: "You are the marching staff officer of Tianxiong Army, who dares to laugh at you?"

Zhu Xiu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Under the Tianxiong Army's tent, a brick could kill a group of people with the title of Marching Staff.
Guo Wei suddenly understood something, pinched Fu Zhaoxin's shoulder with his palm, and said in a feigned anger: "You Dalang Fu, do you dislike Zhu Xiu for coming from a poor family? His official position is low? Not worthy of your sister?"

Fu Zhaoxin blushed, scratched his neck and said: "Guo Shuai is wronged! This junior never meant this! If I were really such a vulgar person, how could I call myself brother-in-law with Zhu Shaolang?"

"Humph~" After hearing what he said, Guo Wei let go of his hand, "What are you afraid of because you are from a low background? When I was young, I didn't rely on others, and even relied on charity from my neighbors for a while. As for my official status, in this battle to suppress the rebellion, Zhu Xiuduo has made great achievements, and I am ready to ask the imperial court for his merits and recommend him to serve as the marching commander of the Zhangyi Army and concurrently as the governor of Jing!"

Zhu Xiu was startled, ecstatic, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Thank you so much, Marshal, for your support! Marshal's kindness, Zhu Xiuwan will not be able to repay it even if he dies!"

Guo Wei said nonchalantly: "You deserve it all, no need to thank me! You have made meritorious deeds with your true ability, and you deserve to be rewarded! If you were not too young, I would have guaranteed you the post of Pizhou Liuqiu and Deputy Envoy of Zhangyi Army!" But in this way, there will definitely be many criticisms from the court, so let's forget it and wait a few years to talk about it."

Zhu Xiu's face was full of gratitude, and she squeezed her eyes hard, trying to look like she was crying with gratitude.

"But Marshal, even so, what we did just now is still inappropriate!" Zhu Xiu said bravely.

Guo Wei said angrily: "What's wrong? I asked you to marry Fu's daughter, but I didn't ask you to marry a tigress? Are you afraid?"

"This...this" Zhu Xiu was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, "A real man should put his career first. I have no plans to marry in the past few years."

The world is uncertain and chaos is coming. How can you think about marrying a wife?

Zhu Xiu complained in her heart that Uncle Guo's random playing of the piano would only disrupt his plan.

Uncle Guo's majestic eyes moved away from him, glanced at Fu Zhaoxin and Fu Jinzhan, waved his hand and said: "No need to say more, the matter is settled! I will immediately send a letter to Yanzhou to ask Wei The Duke sent someone to send the second girl to Jingzhou to meet you!"

"Ah? So fast?!" Zhu Xiu was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Fu Jinzhan and Fu Zhaoxin smiled helplessly.

Guo Wei stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I just met you once and got along for a while. It would be best if the two of you are destined to be together. If not, I will not force you! It just so happens that I will lead an army to Qi. The state is on guard against the Shu army. Fu Zhaoxin has to go out with the army and won't be able to go back for a while. There is no need for Jinzhan to go back in a hurry. He can just send someone to send a letter home to report that he is safe.

You can stay in Chang'an, or you can go to Jingzhou, and then return with me when the army returns to the court. "

The three of them looked at each other, and Fu Jinzhan said with a smile: "I heard that Jingzhou has undergone earth-shaking changes, and my niece has long wanted to see it. Since the second sister is coming, she might as well go with her, and I will have to trouble Zhu Changshi by then. .”

Zhu Xiu grinned, dumbfounded. At this time, the lady still had the heart to joke.

"Haha~ My eldest niece is still sensible!" Guo Wei stroked his beard and laughed.

Fu Zhaoxin clasped his fists and said helplessly: "General, I will obey the commander's orders!"

Uncle Guo laughed heartily and seemed very proud of his rough matchmaking skills.
