Wei and Jin Cooks

  Chapter 1071 Freedom is expensive

  Zhao Hanzhang set up the office of the central government in the imperial city. Except that some of her government affairs were handled in the Zhao residence, the rest of the government affairs, central and local operations were all carried out in the imperial city.

  Therefore, officials and minor officials shuttled back and forth here, because Princess Hongnong came out of the palace around the end of the day, and it was time for the officials in the imperial city to eat, so there were attendants who delivered meals.

  Princess Hongnong couldn't help but stop when she saw the completely different atmosphere inside and outside.

  Ren Hui also sighed: "When the first emperor was here, it was rare to see such a lively imperial city."

  The first emperor refers to Emperor Hui, the father of Princess Hongnong.

  Princess Hongnong said calmly: "It's better to be more lively, lively, it means that the ministers are working. When the father is here, the imperial city is too deserted, and the palace city is too lively."

  Ren Hui didn't dare to say anything.

  Princess Hongnong didn't need her to speak, she lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Go back and send a message to the Zhao family."

  Ren Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I want to see my in-laws. The wedding of Langjun and the general is coming soon."

  Princess Hongnong said: "I was thinking about it before. She is not an ordinary woman, and naturally she will not be an ordinary daughter-in-law. This marriage is not only between the Fu and Zhao families, but also between the Sima family and the Zhao family."

   "Since the marriage of three families involves the royal family, the Zhao family and the Fu family, we need to discuss it clearly."

  Ren Hui's heart tightened, and he stammered and asked, "Talk, what should we talk about?"

  Princess Hongnong said: "Naturally, she is talking about the interests of the country. Now that she is sincerely teaching His Majesty, I only hope that she will also sincerely return the government to His Majesty in the future."

  Ren Hui felt anxious, always feeling that Princess Hongnong was mentioning something serious.

  Princess Hongnong rushed back to Fu's house, and immediately wrote a letter of greeting herself, and after being sent to Zhao's house, she asked, "Where is your lord?"

  The servant said: "Mr. Lang didn't come back, he said he was busy with business and couldn't find time for a while, but he sent Shi Hongtu, the head of the personal guard, back, and said that as long as the princess has orders, he can call him."

Princess Hongnong frowned, and still called Shi Hongtu, knowing that he is now a fifth-rank brave general, she was puzzled, but this was not the time to delve into it, so she suppressed her doubts and asked, "My son's Where are the books and money?"

  Shi Hongtu was stunned for a while, and quickly said: "Fu An is in charge of Fu Shangshu's internal affairs, and I don't know about his humble position."

  Shi Hongtu paused for a moment and then said: "If the princess is missing something, just tell me, and I can help you find it."

  He knew that Fu Tinghan had no private property, and his money was basically mixed with Zhao Hanzhang's, so most of the expenses went to Zhao Hanzhang's account.

  As Fu Tinghan's personal guard, he also has the right to pay the bill, but Fu Tinghan's signature is required in the end.

  The princess frowned, and didn't immediately say what she wanted, but got up and said, "General Shi, please go down and have a rest."

  As soon as he left, she immediately went to the backyard to find Fu Xuan who was addicted to books.

  She didn't approach, but stopped seven or eight steps away from him, frowned and said, "I've sent a greeting card to Zhao's family. If there is no accident, I will come to see you tomorrow. How much money can you give here?"

  Fu Xuan reluctantly broke away from the book, "Didn't Ting Han say that everything should be frugal? Just pick some gifts that are not rude."

  Princess Hongnong suppressed her temper and insisted on asking: "How much money do you have here?"

Hearing her hidden anger, Fu Xuan finally looked up from the book, turned to look at the young man, the young man immediately went back to the room and brought a box and put it on the stone table in front of him, opened it, and inside there were only two hanging coins and a few A silver nugget the size of a little finger, he pushed it to Princess Hongnong, "That's all."

  Princess Hongnong looked at these pieces of silver, her eyes were red with anger, she looked up at him and asked, "There is only so little money left. You don't want to make some money, so you just hide in the backyard and read?"

  Fu Xuan: "...This city of Luoyang is no longer what it used to be. The Fu family even burned down the house. We just returned to Luoyang, and the land is not hot yet. Where do you want me to make money?"

   "Besides, we don't need to recruit soldiers or horses for the imperial court anymore, and we don't lack food and drink. Why do we need to make money?" Fu Xuan simply announced his decision to her today, "I have decided to resign."

  Oh, yes, Fu Xuan also has an official position, Censor Zhongcheng!

  However, he was trapped in Chang'an, and followed the princess to recruit soldiers for the Jin Kingdom. It has been five or six years. He has not received a penny of salary from the court, and he has even invested in his family business.

  Anyway, he didn't feel the joy of being an official at all, and he didn't want to be an official at the time. If his father and daughter-in-law hadn't attacked him back and forth, forcing him, he wouldn't have agreed to become an official.

   Yes, this one is also one of the talents that the Jin Kingdom couldn't ask for.

  When King Sima Lun of Zhao was in power, he asked him to be the Prime Minister of the State, and the Secretary of State, but he refused, and asked him to be a Situ. After working for a while, he felt that being an official was boring, so he resigned.

So in order to keep him, Sima Lun promoted him to be a secretary Cheng, and a hussar to be a Zhonglang. The son-in-law seemed quite capable, so he was promoted to Zuo Cheng.

At that time, Fu Xuan saw that the court was in such chaos, his father-in-law and the emperor were forced to leave Chang'an, he was not as loyal as his father, and he didn't want to work for such a court, he felt that being an official in the Jin court was a waste It is better to stay at home and study than to waste your life.

  So he did not accept the imperial edict of his father-in-law and was not that official.

  Emperor Hui thought that his son-in-law was a low-ranking official, and all the ministers said he was good, so he was promoted to Huang Menlang. This time, before he could refuse, his father and princess jointly forced him to agree.

  Later, the authority in Luoyang changed, and Emperor Hui was welcomed back to Luoyang. Fu Zhi seemed to have a vague premonition, so he didn't let Fu Xuan's family go back with him, but found a reason for them to stay in Chang'an.

  Later, there were two more princes in Luoyang City, and the court would be cleaned every time the power changed, but the most killed were the descendants of the royal family. They killed their own family members.

  If Princess Hongnong had been in Luoyang at the time, she would most likely have been implicated in killing her family.

Later, Emperor Hui was poisoned to death, and his sons and daughters were either imprisoned or scattered outside. By the way, Princess Hongnong had several sisters. Two of them died, and the remaining two were scattered among the people. I don’t know at this time. It is life or death, and where will it go.

  After the first emperor came to the throne, because he had to entrust Fu Xuan and Princess Hongnong to run for him, he also named Fu Xuan as Yushi Zhongcheng.

   Right now, he doesn't care anymore, because in the huge state of Jin, the place actually controlled by the emperor is only a small area that he can see with his eyes.

  Being an official for many years, except at the beginning, he never received a single penny of salary, but kept adding money to it, and no one checked attendance, so he lived as he wanted.

  So it doesn't matter whether he accepts the official position or not, because he can't refuse his father and princess daughter-in-law, regardless of their loyalty and great cause.

  But... Now that he has returned to Luoyang, although he has not gone out, he still has some understanding of the current situation in the officialdom. I heard that Zhao Hanzhang is diligent, so officials must be diligent, not only have to get up early to go to the government, but also work overtime at night.

  When Fu Xuan heard the news, he immediately decided to resign, even if the current imperial court could afford his salary.

  That’s right, he would rather pay to be an official, as long as he is free, than be an official to make money and lose his freedom!

   Fu Xuan: The main thing is a rebellion

Good night
