Basically all the Fangzhen Jiedushi have mansions and properties in Tokyo, which are run and taken care of by their relatives, assistants and even servants on weekdays, so that they can go to Beijing to have an audience, report on their work or carry out other activities.
Fu Yanqing naturally has a mansion in Tokyo, and it has been a mansion for decades. From the Tang Dynasty to the present Han Dynasty, the Fu family has been treated generously and favorably by those in power in all dynasties.
When he left the palace and returned to the mansion, Fu Yanqing still had some visible complexity on his face. After taking off his thick official robe, he sat down and was still thinking about it. Of course he knew what Liu Zhiyuan's intentions were. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the great Han Dynasty
It was not stable, so he married into the Fu family to stabilize his political power.
As far as Fu Yanqing was concerned, he was naturally happy to marry the emperor, and there was no need for any pretentious reaction. It was just that he had already promised his eldest daughter to Li Shouzhen's son, but Liu Zhiyuan was interested in the eldest daughter.
"Dad, you're back." A clear voice rang in my ears while I was thinking.
Looking up, he saw the eldest daughter in front of her, dressed in a skirt. She had a gentle smile on her beautiful face. Being pretty and good-looking are just the most basic qualities of Dafu. Her gentleness, confidence, and generosity
The temperament is the most moving.
"Yeah!" Fu Yanqing responded.
Da Fu sat down leisurely, served Fu Yanqing a cup of tea, and said with a calm smile: "The emperor must value dad very much, so he will win over you in every possible way."
Seeing the eldest daughter's intelligence, she couldn't help stroking her beard and replied: "Yes! Not only that, it also poses a problem for the father!"
Da Fu was a little surprised: "What kind of problem? Will the emperor still make things difficult for dad?"
Looking at the humble and intelligent appearance of his eldest daughter, Fu Yanqing felt more and more that Li Shouzhen's son was not worthy of his little wife. Of course, if Liu Zhiyuan hadn't come so suddenly, he would have sent someone to deliver the big talisman to Fu Yanqing soon.
Zhou went to get married.
Facing the eldest daughter's curious gaze, Fu Yanqing said, "There will be changes in your marriage!"
There was a trace of astonishment on his fair face, and then he asked nervously: "What's wrong? Is it related to the emperor?"
This little lady is really very smart and reacts very quickly. Fu Yanqing lowered his head and took a sip of tea before saying, "The Emperor intends to make you the Crown Princess!"
As soon as she said this, Da Fu suddenly looked shocked, but he quickly recovered, lowered his head, frowned slightly, and fell into thinking. Seeing her reaction, Fu Yanqing asked: "What do you think?"
Da Fu raised his head and his expression returned to calm: "I'm afraid it's hard for dad to refuse the emperor."
Fu Yanqing smiled bitterly and said: "Although the emperor asked my father to think carefully about it, he really didn't give him any room for consideration!"
At this time, I suddenly heard Dafu murmuring in a low voice: "My daughter heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, mighty, upright and filial, and is praised by the world..."
Hearing what Da Fu said, Fu Yanqing understood that his daughter was obviously more interested in Liu Chengyou. This was also a natural thing. Both the left and right were married, one was the son of Jiedu from Zhouzhen, and the other was the prince. Any woman would know it.
How to choose, let alone a big talisman. Besides, they seem to have no choice.
Fu Yanqing was not too surprised by the performance of his eldest daughter. He had always known her to be ambitious, broad-minded, well-educated, and knowledgeable. She had never met her before. Compared to the reputation of the prince Liu Chengyou, who was famous all over the world, she was not famous. The one-article Li Chongxun is really not comparable at all and has no appeal.
"The emperor would rather break the engagement and arouse criticism than make you match the prince. I guess the words of the sorcerer back then have reached his ears!" Fu Yanqing said in a guessing tone: "But now it seems that Come on, my daughter really has that destiny!"
Hearing what Fu Yanqing said, Da Fu also reacted. He straightened his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it dangerous for Li Shouzhen and his son in the river?"
"That's why, although we are a small town, we can't be unscrupulous. Now, the world is moving towards the direction of governance. It is unwise to compete with the imperial court after all!" Fu Yanqing said inexplicably. Feeling.
"Over there in the river, my father had to take the initiative to issue a document to terminate the engagement. This person who broke the contract had to do it for his father. He couldn't do it. The emperor really issued an edict..."
Fu Yanqing obviously trusted Da Fu very much, even more so than his sons. He did not shy away from discussing with him any important matters. The father and daughter chatted, and time passed quickly. A little later, the servant came Report, His Highness the Crown Prince is visiting!
This surprised both father and daughter. They both came to the door in person. Is it so urgent?
They were greeted in a hurry. Liu Chengyou brought a pair of jade stones as a betrothal gift, but when he proposed to marry the second wife of the Fu family, Fu Yanqing was stunned. His face was gloomy and uncertain, with a faint anger that he was being teased.
However, next, Liu Chengyou went even further and asked to meet his future crown princess. These Liu family father and son are so unruly!
Then, Fu Yanqing belatedly realized that His Highness the Crown Prince actually wanted his sisters to inform him and his two daughters to imitate Ehuang Nüying.
However, after thinking about it carefully, it seems very feasible. Two daughters, double insurance!
The first meeting with Mrs. Da Fu was disappointing, otherwise this chapter would have been completely disappointing...
————————
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Liu Zhiyuan, who had been ill for a long time, reappeared and looked at the court. He showed a pretty good complexion in front of the ministers, but Liu Chengyou knew that his father had applied some powder, but the palace attendant who applied powder for him was very skilled. Ordinary people can't detect anything unusual with their naked eyes.
Liu Zhiyuan looked at the court. In addition to accepting the worship of the ministers, he changed his imperial name to Liu Hao. After all, the words "zhi" and "yuan" were too common among officials and people, and they had to be avoided. It was really disturbing to the people. Of course. , change the name, maybe it will be transferred.
However, Liu Zhiyuan's body really couldn't bear it anymore. He was in charge of the government for only three days, and he went to recuperate again, and Liu Chengyou was once again in charge of the country.
Within three days of the old emperor's administration, only one edict was issued: deputy military envoys from all walks of life and two envoys were not allowed to recommend officials. With envoys and ministers, Jiedushi envoy Xu Zuozhang was in charge of the secretary, and envoys were appointed. Jiedu recommended officials; without envoys, Xiang Jiedushi, Xu Zuozhang secretary, Jiedu recommends officials. The defense regiment trains judges, military judges, etc. to listen to the memorials. For recommended state and county magistrates, with envoys and ministers, Jiedushi Xu recommends three people; without envoys, two people; for defense, Team training, one person as governor.
This is an "official restriction order", which is due to the proliferation of officials in the world and the frequent use of indiscriminate weapons to make up for the number. Each state has its own festivals, and military envoys wantonly explore and promote relatives and private interests.
Of course, this edict still only expresses the attitude of the court. It is clearly stated here. In the future, when the court frees up its energy, it can be used to eliminate those officials who do not comply with the procedures and have not been approved by the court. The premise is that the Han court must have With that kind of strength, basically it will be Liu Chengyou's turn to have a headache in the future.
"Your Highness, these people?" In the political hall, Prime Minister Li Tao looked at the list given to him by Liu Chengyou with hesitation in his eyes.
The two regions of the Central Plains were under the direct control of the imperial court, and there were still many prefectures and counties lacking actual officials. The imperial court intended to promote the vacancies. But where could so many people be found at one time? Liu Chengyou intended to open scientific examinations, but that could not be accomplished overnight. Therefore, in a short period of time, promotion could only be done internally, and each minister proposed some candidates.
For this kind of opportunity, Liu Chengyou had to put in some people...
"My lord, the above officials can be inspected, promoted and appointed according to their talents!" Liu Chengyou said calmly.
"yes!"
These people provided by Liu Chengyou are the "white list" recorded in a small book for more than a year. From Hedong to Luzhou, then to Chengde, to Tokyo and Yedu, there are only about twenty people, maybe there is nothing Talents from all over the world can do things. In today's world, there are only talents who can do things in a down-to-earth manner.
"Your Highness, there is news from Guanzhong!" Guo Wei came to report in person.
"Speak!" Liu Chengyou was in great spirits. Since the beginning of the new year, he has basically been keeping an eye on the situation in Guanzhong.
"Shu General Li Tinggui led his army to attack Ziwu Town and wanted to attack Chang'an. Wang Jun personally led the cavalry and surrounded it. Together with the Jinchang Army Jiedu Zhao Kuangzan, they attacked from both sides and defeated the Shu army. More than two thousand people were killed. The Shu army was defeated at Ziwu Road!" Guo Wei! The report read: "In Longzhou, two groups of Shu armies dispersed at the pass. After hearing the news of their defeat, they held back their troops. Fengxiang Jiedu Hou Yi reported that they had closed the wall to reject the Shu troops. They were afraid that they would be short of troops, so they asked the court for support!"
"This is the most encouraging news I have heard this year!" Liu Chengyou's expression could not be tense, and he was rarely happy.
"Fan Zhi!"
"Please give me your orders, Your Highness!" Fan Zhi, who had been transferred to the Political Affairs Hall by Liu Chengyou, immediately responded.
"Draft an edict of commendation and send it to Guanzhong!"
"yes!"
Facts have proved that sending Wang Jun to lead the army west was indeed the right person. This person really had some skills. After defeating Li Tinggui in Ziwu Town, at the "invitation" of Hou Yizhi, he quickly led the army westward, reached Fengxiang, and settled in Chencang.
From the moment the Forbidden Army entered Chencang, the situation in Guanzhong, which was originally in danger, suddenly stabilized. Although the Shu army still refused to retreat, it was no longer as dangerous as before. The combat effectiveness of the Shu army was really hard to scare the powerful soldiers of the Central Plains. ...
The situation in Guanzhong improved, but here in Tokyo, Liu Zhiyuan's illness showed signs of worsening, and he even fainted due to occasional cold winds.
On the 20th, Liu Zhiyuan issued an edict conferring marriage, conferring the title of Military Envoy of Taining Army, Imperial Examiner, and Attendant. The eldest daughter of Fu Yanqing, Duke of Qi State, was made the Crown Princess.
It can be regarded as a happy occasion for the prince to accept the concubine.
