Chapter 229 The VIP Arrives

Fu Tong is about to come to Jingzhao, which also caused waves among Jingzhao's ministers.Anyone who is an official in the court knows that Fu Tong is related to the pattern of Xijiangwei.His arrival will definitely clarify the dispute between the court and China regarding Xijiangwei.

In addition, Fu Tong's military achievements are outstanding, many people in the court and the army admire him, some people look forward to meeting him, and old friends look forward to chatting and drinking with him.For a time, because of Fu Tong, there was a surge in the DPRK and China.
Zhu Xuanming watched these surges with cold eyes, feeling extremely depressed in his heart, but he could only press down.If all goes well, he should be most looking forward to Fu Tong's entry to Beijing at this time, because Fu Tong's arrival means that he will be able to hold Xijiang Wei.

It's a pity... Fang Jixin is half dead now, Fang Jixin's vitality has been greatly damaged by the annihilation of his private soldiers, and Pang Zhi's affairs have not gone as planned. All these have caused him a lot of headaches.

For Fu Tong, he inexplicably loathed him.

No matter whether it was joy or disgust, it couldn't stop Fu Tong's footsteps.In early May, he finally arrived at Jingzhao.

Gu Zhan specially asked for leave, and took Gu Chong'an and a group of servants out of the city gate to greet him.Fu Tong came from Xijiang, Gu Zhan and others naturally waited at the west gate.Not long after they arrived at the west city gate, Shen Du also brought people there.

Behind Shen Du, apart from Chen Wei and a few Huben soldiers, there were also soldiers from the Ministry of War, Cen Changqing and Ye Gu.They all came here to welcome Fu Tong under the order of Emperor Chongde.
Emperor Chongde appointed Shen Du to receive Fu Tong, and also ordered two officials from the Ministry of War to assist him, and Huben soldiers were also waiting for dispatch.Moreover, the imperial court also prepared a place for Fu Tong to live in. This place is still an imperial mansion on Xuanming Street, where there are all servants and maidservants.
Seeing this, the court officials lamented: Fu Tong was just the former general of Xijiangwei, but the emperor treated him so favorably, which shows the importance of Xijiangwei and the Fu family in the emperor's heart.

For example, at this moment, it is very lively outside the west city gate.Shen Du and his party, together with the members of the Gu family, were all looking forward to it, just for Fu Tong.The guard at the west gate once again "tsk tsk" said: "The emperor is really kind to the Fu family!"

Hearing these exclamations, Shen Du couldn't help but feel some ups and downs in his heart.On the surface, it was such a grand reception, but in private, the emperor was planning to change generals, which is quite admirable.The emperor's move was just to avoid Fu Tong's military achievements too much, and to show special courtesy, but in fact, his inner feelings were very weak.

Before he could think any deeper, he saw several horses of smoke and dust appearing in the distance.In just a moment, those horses were already close in front of them, and the horses seemed to be strolling in the garden, and then they stopped their horseshoes and did not move.

With such speed and control, it must be Fu Tong and the Xijiang Guard soldiers escorted by him!
The sound of "da, da, da" horseshoes sounded, and a horse overtook the previous ones and walked to the front.Then, the man on the horse also appeared in front of Shen Du.

Gu Zhan took a step forward and greeted him with both hands: "Brother Fu, I'm tired all the way!"
The man on horseback was full of wind and frost, but his demeanor was not tired.He has a white beard and hair, a refined and refined face, and bright eyes. ——This is Fu Tong!
It looks like an old bone, not a general at all!

Shen Du has heard of Fu Tong's name for a long time, but he has never met Fu Tong.Seeing Fu Tong like this for the first time, Shen Du was surprised, and his movements became a little slow. Chen Wei almost coughed twice to remind him.

He quickly came back to his senses, bowed to Fu Tong respectfully and said: "My subordinate Huben Zhonglang General Shen Du, by order of the emperor, is here to welcome Old General Fu, and pay his respects to the old general!"

As soon as he said this, Chen Wei, Cen Changqing and others shouted loudly: "Greetings to the old general!"

Fu Tong had already dismounted, and after hearing these words, he laughed "haha" and said: "There is no need to be too polite! The emperor is so loving, I feel ashamed, but I will trouble everyone."

After a face-to-face exchange of names, it took a lot of time.Outside the city gate is not a place to talk, so both Gu Zhan and Shen Du asked Fu Tong to enter the city to rest and talk.

Shen Du asked and said: "The emperor has prepared a mansion for the old general on Xuanming Street. But I thought in my heart that the old general would be more happy to see his sons and daughters at his knees. Therefore, I have already asked the emperor for instructions, and the old general can also live in it." The Gu family. The emperor has instructed that the old general will be called after he rests for a while."
Hearing these words, Fu Tong's whole body was brightened, and he couldn't help but glance at Shen Du.Huben Zhonglang General Shen Du is also the scholar in the court, and Shen Su's adopted son.

From these words, it can be seen that he is very flexible and transparent in handling things.This young man is not bad!

Gu Zhan who was on the side said in a timely manner: "In that case, please invite Brother Fu to live in Gu's house, the house is ready!"

Fu Tong nodded, bowed his hands to Shen Du and his party, and said: "Then, I thank you all! I'll have a drink with you later!"

Shen Du smiled, but he didn't follow the words and left, instead he said: "Let's escort the old general at home."

Just kidding, Ah Bi will definitely welcome her grandfather, how could he let go of such an opportunity to meet upright?
Shen Du wanted to escort Fu Tong, Chen Wei, Cen Changqing, Ye Gu and others couldn't leave first.A group of people protected Fu Tong in a mighty way, and headed towards Gu's house on Xuanping Street.

Besides, at this time, the front door of Gu's family has been opened, and Mrs. Fu led everyone in the family to stand in the front yard, waiting for Fu Tong's arrival.Even Gu Daoxing was held by the nanny, waiting for his grandfather to arrive.

Gu Yan followed Fu's side, seeing Fu's constant twisting of the handkerchief, her heart also became tense.Fortunately, the noise soon approached from far away, and when Gu Zhan led Fu Tong outside the gate, her mood instantly calmed down.

She is like this, the louder she is, the quieter her heart becomes.

The first ones to appear were the servants of the Gu family.After they returned to Gu's house, they immediately stood on both sides of the gate, followed by Gu Zhan and Gu Chong'an, who led Fu Tong into Gu's house.

An old man with gray beard and bearded in the world appeared in Gu Yan's eyes.So elegant and thin, like a literati, he can't be seen as a general.Where is it as "brave and powerful" as the evaluation said?
Also, why would grandpa stand behind him?

All of these surprised Gu Yan, but they didn't show it on his face. He just lowered his head and followed Fu's instructions: "A Bi has seen my grandfather, please greet my grandfather!"

A Bi, this nickname was given by Fu Tong himself.Now that he finally saw Fu Tong, Gu Yan felt joy in his heart, and a warm feeling flowed slowly.
Seeing Fu Shi and Gu Yan, Fu Tong felt joy and excitement in his heart needless to say, but he was worried that it was the gate and his emotions should not be exposed, so he just smiled and said, "Very good, very good."

He was only thinking about talking to his daughter about Tianlun, so he turned his head, wanting to say goodbye to Shen Du and speak politely, but he didn't want Shen Du's eyes to turn away from him.

The young man's eyes fell on his granddaughter!Although Shen Du withdrew his gaze very quickly, but Fu Tong is such a keen person, in just that moment, he saw the tenderness in Shen Du's eyes that couldn't be concealed.
tenderness?This young man likes his granddaughter?Such thoughts flashed by, and when Fu Tong went to look again, there was nothing left.

But at this time, Shen Du said: "I will not hinder the old general. Please rest well, the old general, tomorrow I will take you to Jingjiwei, and then go to the palace."

Let Fu Tong go to Jingjiwei to see his grandson first, and then call him to Zichen Hall. This is the arrangement of Emperor Chongde, and Shen Du is only responsible for leading the way.

In order to clean up Fu Tong, the Gu family had a very rich dinner.Pushing cups and changing cups at the banquet, and the sound of laughter, the harmony and harmony during the period need not be elaborated.When Fu Tong returned to Jiali Courtyard, he was already slightly drunk, and he hadn't enjoyed himself enough yet, so he insisted on keeping Gu Zhan.

Fu Tong was indescribably happy to see Mrs. Fu living so well.If Fu Tong has any regrets, it is that he used the wrong method to teach his daughter. He only cared about teaching her to be gentle and virtuous, but forgot to teach her to be decisive.

When he found out about Gu Chongting, he couldn't help but sigh.Fu Tong heard about Gu Yuning's battle in Yong'an back then, and Fu Tong knew a little about it from his father, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated.

At the beginning, I thought that the Gu family's back house would be simple, but there are still so many hidden things.Fortunately, his daughter is doing well now, has a well-behaved and caring granddaughter, and even gave birth to a little grandson, so he is relieved.
"Brother Gu, what's the situation in Jingzhao now? The emperor will call tomorrow, so I have to prepare." Fu Tong asked, his mind gradually cleared up after drinking the anti-alcohol soup.

He kept Gu Zhan here because he wanted to hear him explain Jingzhao's situation in detail, and he had an understanding in his heart.As for his grandson Fu Ming, his life is not in danger, and he will know when he sees him tomorrow.
"After Ming'er was injured, there were rumors of private soldiers in Jingzhao. It sounded like it was aimed at you. Later, I vaguely heard that the emperor sent people to go to the western border, and often summoned Huo Tao. I wondered if the emperor had Planning to change generals?" Gu Zhan said in a low voice.

"This is, Xue Shoufan went to Xijiang, and I met him. This matter is nine out of ten. I just don't know who planned this, and what clues does Jing Zhao have?" Fu Tong asked.

He has already confirmed the general change, but what is uncertain is who the emperor prefers, and whether there are any clues about the black hand behind it.

Gu Zhan shook his head: "Many people in black appeared in Fang Jixin's house. Some people said that these people in black were the ones who assassinated Ming'er, while others said that these people were there to kill Fang Jixin. Now there are different opinions. Fang Jixin has been abolished. There is no follow-up to this matter.”

Gu Zhan already knows more than the average person, but he doesn't know the most core things.Even so, through his words, Fu Tong's judgment on Jing Zhao is more accurate.
He pondered for a moment, and then said: "So, I have a good idea. Other things, I will make plans after I meet Ming'er and the emperor tomorrow."

What will happen tomorrow?
