Chapter 345

Fuxuan rushed back to Jiankang City overnight, and after a few days of running around, he secretly entered the palace to meet Emperor Mu Andi.

After hearing about the treasury of Gushan in Guangling County and the Yang family treasury in Youshan County with a pale face, I heard that this time I secretly investigated Fuxuan in Guangling County. A lot of the disaster relief funds included caused many victims to remain refugees for a long time, and the saint tightly closed his angry red eyes.

In his life, he hated people doing harsh things in the name of the court, and he also hated the aristocratic family for "stealing" the property he gave to his people from the treasury of his Chen family.His treasury is not comparable to that of Wang Xie, a noble family like Wang Xie, so how can he raise more rats that eat his millet?
After a while, Emperor Mu Andi finally couldn't help it, opened his eyes suddenly, and with a "snap", he patted the account books presented by Fuxuan on the imperial case.

He was furious: "There is an ambush in the front, and there are pursuers in the back. When will the world be safe? One or two are so short-sighted! If they really sit on the throne, can they still sit firmly? Can the surname be Chen? It’s just making wedding dresses for others, mantises, cicadas, orioles are behind! They’re all idiots! Idiots!”

The saint lost his posture in front of his eyes, Fuxuan could only stand still with his head bowed, pretending he didn't hear him, without saying a word.

Emperor Mu An was so angry that Eunuch Wei was very worried. He handed over a cup of ginseng tea and carefully comforted him: "Your Majesty, calm down your anger, you have to hold on to your own body."

Emperor Mu Andi responded perfunctorily, and raised his hand to support his forehead. Seeing this, Eunuch Wei hurriedly stepped forward to rub his temples.

After a long while, Emperor Mu And finally calmed down a little, and raised his eyes again, seeing Fu Xuan with a beard on his face and a dusty body, he let out a long sigh.

Also not at the age of the weak crown, a concubine boy from the Fu family has used his flesh and blood to fight against barbarians, deploy troops, and rescue disasters. It is unremarkable, but if it is really used to compete with the aristocratic family that controls half of the government, it is really difficult to be a big task.

Thinking of this, while feeling emotional, the sadness hidden in Emperor Mu Andi's heart came out again unconsciously.

Most of the high-ranking official positions in the court are occupied by people from aristocratic families, and the high-ranking officials are well-paid, but they have no practical significance.Even though the position of "Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials" who was in charge of the selection of officials was taken back from the aristocratic family with difficulty by him, and Fu Yiyan took it, but because the basis of selection is still based on family status, it is really possible to select people from outside the aristocratic family. , There are very few capable people who can be recruited under the command and have true knowledge.

For example, in the Fujia family, there are too few people with lofty ideals and benevolent people who are different from popular customs.

Emperor Mu An sighed secretly, and asked Fuxuan, "What is your plan for this matter?"

He would not have expected that Fuxuan rushed back from Guangling County directly, instead of sending him a secret letter, it was obvious that he had something to discuss with him face to face.

Fuxuan said: "Follow the plan."

Hearing Fuxuan's words, and after he stated that Xie's side was willing to support a trilogy, Emperor Mu Andi finally raised his brows and chuckled softly.

I can't help but deny that the young Fujialang in front of me is indeed the right-hand man who has fought with the two brothers Fu Yiwen for many years. He has a lot of insight in the formation of troops, and Xie Zhan is willing to assist in this matter. Under the circumstances, the other side in Xuzhou really did something, but it was just a small fight.

Emperor Mu Andi got up, walked to Fuxuan's side, looked him up and down, narrowed his eyes, "I heard that you and Dr. Shen's daughter are in love with each other?"

Fu Xuan raised his eyes, and looked at Emperor Mu Andi in disbelief, not understanding how his matter had reached the ears of the saint so quickly.

Emperor Mu Andi patted Fuxuan on the shoulder, and before he could answer, he said: "Jiayang has already told the widow that it is a good thing that you can start a family and start a business." If you want to talk about seniority, you should call the widow 'uncle'."

Admittedly, there is some truth to this statement.Although Fuxuan was not the eldest princess of Jiayang, he called her "mother" since she was a child. As Emperor Mu Andi is Jiayang's elder brother, it is not an exaggeration for Fuxuan to call Emperor Mu Andi "uncle".

However, just listen to some words, the emperor's relatives are not easy to climb, especially at the moment when there are princes secretly eyeing the throne, it is really not suitable to do this kind of melon field, which makes the emperor suspicious.

Fuxuan immediately avoided suspicion and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love."

This is what it means to refuse.

The corners of Emperor Mu Andi's lips were slightly raised, and he said in a calm and unhurried manner: "As an elder, I would like to give you a gift."

After Fuxuan retreated, Eunuch Wei stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty is going to rest at Concubine Jiang Shu's place today?"

Emperor Mu Andi squinted at him, "Old man, you're the one who knows how to adapt to the wind."

"Hey, I don't dare to do this old slave." Eunuch Wei, who had been with the emperor for decades, waved his hands repeatedly with a smile, and then ordered to the outside: "Send to Chenyi Palace."

Mu Andi moved extremely fast.

The next day, the second prince, whose biological mother's status was too low, was recorded under the name of Jiang Xiao, who was deeply loved by him.A son who was only one year younger than her fell from the sky, and Concubine Jiang Shu didn't recover from it for a long time.

She wasn't the only one who was dumbfounded.

When the news reached Yang Guipin, Yang Guipin was as if struck by lightning, she couldn't control herself and said annoyed: "Look, the Holy Majesty loved that merchant girl very much, and now it's even worse! Let's say that the birth mother of the second prince is a mere court lady. With a low status and no competitiveness, now there is a concubine Shu as the concubine mother, a mother and a son, who are so loved by the saint—”

The man who quietly sneaked into the palace said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, no matter what, that person is just a Concubine Shu, but one of the nine concubines. My Majesty is now a noble concubine and in charge of the harem. In terms of status, who can compare to you?"

"Brother, if you don't act anymore, the sixth prince left behind by the Yu family will be thirteen this year, and they are all threats!"

"We haven't prepared enough, not to mention that Jiankang City is relying on other families here, even in Xuzhou, we are still relying on the Xiao family. If we act rashly, we will only be hindered by others, and the consequences will be disastrous. We must wait!"

"Brother..."

"The top priority is still to train the fifth prince, so that his excellence can be seen by the sage."

Yang Guipin had no choice but to keep silent and think for herself.

**
In Guangling County, the news of Xiao Er's disappearance did not cause much disturbance. Instead, his elder brother Xiao Che personally went to the gate of "Fuqiu Garden" to apologize to Fu Xuan on Xiao Er's behalf.

As soon as she thought about how tortured and humiliated she would have been by the wicked if she hadn't been followed by the hidden guards that day, Fu Xuan could only loathe the Xiao family, which was glamorous on the surface but rotten and dirty on the inside, and she didn't want to come out to see the Xiao family at all. thorough.

Fuxuan and Xie Zhan didn't see him, they knew that the Xie family could not be offended easily, and they should not lose big because of small things, Xiao Che was not good at letting go, so he came to "Fuqiu Garden" to wait for him a few times.

On this day, Xie Zhan and Fu Xuan went to visit a winery outside the city for a symbolic visit and returned home. As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw Xiao Che standing outside the gate. The words of the cellar stopped abruptly.

Facing two extremely indifferent and alienated faces before him, Xiao Che clenched his fists restrainedly, and greeted him with a warm and springy smile.

After a few polite greetings, he said in a good-natured manner: "Hearding that Patriarch Xie and his wife-to-be are going back to Jiankang City someday, Xiao feels guilty, so I beg you two to give me the honor and come to the humble house as a guest before I leave. My younger brother is reckless and impulsive, Xiao has ordered him to go to the temple, and pray for his wife for the rest of his life."

This is the meaning of completely abandoning brothers.

Xie Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, he couldn't help admiring, in order to maintain the friendship with Xie's family which was still weak on the surface, Xiao Che was so cruel and made such arrangements for Xiao Er's disappearance.That being the case, why not do it?
Xie Zhan dismissed this matter for the time being, and said with regret: "Thank you Patriarch Xiao for your kindness, but the two of us really don't have time to spare. Now that the sage bestows marriage on the Duke of Nanjun and the girl from the Shen family, my fiancée still needs to go to the Shen's house often to get married with Shen's family." The girl discusses some details."

When Xiao Chefu heard this, his chest suddenly felt tight.

He had always intended to marry the Shen family and use the Shen family as well, but the Shen family didn't have many heirs, only two legitimate sons, and the Xiao family didn't have any girls of the right age, so they could only get some connections through in-laws.The daughter of the Shen family originally wanted to see his brother-in-law Yang Silang on the Shangsi Festival, but now she suddenly got a marriage gift, which is tantamount to cutting off this thought completely.

Before he could say anything else, Fu Xuan took a step forward and complained to Xie Zhan, "Liulang, the sun is so hot."

Xie Zhan tapped the palm of his hand, "I still have some other things to deal with in my hand, Patriarch Xiao, please go ahead."

**
Shen Yunwan never expected that when she didn't wait for the news of the guard who proposed to marry her at home, she caught off guard and waited for a decree to marry her.

This gift was not given by others, the sage happened to give her a marriage with Nanjun Gong, who happened to be the head of the Fu family.

It is not easy to refuse the marriage bestowed by the emperor, since she has promised to others, the token of the guard in her hand must be returned no matter what, and the words must be explained to her.Otherwise, after entering the door, the husband would know that she had entangled with the guards in the mansion, which would be bad for both of them.

It's strange to say that since the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Ah Xuan disappeared inexplicably, as if he had never appeared before.During the period, she invited Fuxuan for several spring outings, and Fuxuan readily agreed when she came back, but she never brought that guard with her.

Shen Yunwan couldn't help feeling devastated by this.

Just when she was feeling uneasy, on this day, she received a post from Fuxuan asking her to come to the house for a talk.

Shen Yunwan immediately ordered people to get on the carriage, and walked towards "Fuqiu Garden" with great expectations.
