Zhao Hanzhang located all the central offices in the imperial city. Except for some of her government affairs, which were handled in Zhao's residence, the rest of the government affairs, central and local operations were all carried out in this imperial city.
Therefore, officials and petty officials came and went here. Because Princess Hongnong left the palace around Weishi, it was the time when the officials of the imperial city were having dinner, so there were also attendants delivering meals.
Princess Hongnong couldn't help but stop when she saw the completely different atmosphere inside and outside.
Ren Hui also sighed: "When the late emperor was here, it was rare to see the imperial city so lively."
This late emperor naturally refers to Emperor Hui, the father of Princess Hongnong.
Princess Hongnong said calmly: "It's better to be more lively. Lively means that the ministers are doing their work. When my father was here, the imperial city was too deserted, but the palace city was too lively."
Ren Hui did not dare to say a word.
Princess Hongnong didn't need her to speak. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Go back and send a greeting message to the Zhao family."
Ren Hui breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I want to meet my in-laws. The wedding of Lang Jun and the general is coming soon."
Princess Hongnong said: "I was mistaken before. She is not an ordinary woman, and naturally she will not be an ordinary daughter-in-law. This marriage is not only a marriage between the Fu and Zhao families, but also a marriage between the Sima family and the Zhao family."
"Since it is a marriage between three families, involving the royal family, the Zhao family and the Fu family, we need to discuss it clearly."
Ren Hui's heart tightened and she asked stammering: "Talk, what should we talk about?"
Princess Hongnong said: "Of course we are talking about the interests of the country. Since she is sincerely teaching His Majesty now, I only hope that she can sincerely return the power to Your Majesty in the future."
Ren Hui was worried, always feeling that Princess Hongnong was mentioning something terrible.
Princess Hongnong rushed back to Fu's house, and immediately wrote a greeting note in person and had it sent to Zhao's house. After that, she asked: "Where is Mr. Lang?"
The servant reported: "Lang Jun didn't come back. He said he was busy with official matters and couldn't spare time for a while. However, he sent his personal guard Shi Hongtu back and said that as long as the princess has any orders, just call him."
Princess Hongnong frowned, but still called Shi Hongtu over. When she learned that he was now a fifth-grade brave general, she felt confused, but this was not the time to delve deeper, so she suppressed her doubts and asked: "My son's
Where are the books and money?”
Shi Hongtu was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly: "Fu An is in charge of the internal affairs of Master Fu, and he doesn't know what he is doing."
Shi Hongtu paused for a moment and then said: "If the princess is missing something, just tell Beizhi, and Beizhi can help the princess find it."
He knew that Fu Tinghan actually 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 head of bodyguard, he also has the right to pay accounts, but in the end Fu Tinghan's signature is required.
The princess frowned and did not immediately say what she wanted. Instead, she stood up and said, "General Shi, please go down and take a rest."
As soon as he left, she immediately went to the backyard to find Fu Xuan, who was addicted to books.
She did not approach, but stopped seven or eight steps away from him, frowning and said: "I sent a greeting to the Zhao family. If nothing happens, I will come to visit him tomorrow. How much money can you give here?"
Fu Xuan reluctantly broke away from the book, "Didn't Ting Han say that everything must be frugal? Just pick some gifts that are not rude."
Princess Hongnong suppressed her temper and insisted: "How much money do you have here?"
Hearing her hidden anger, Fu Xuan finally looked up from the book and turned to look at the boy. The boy immediately went back to the room and brought a box and put it on the stone table in front of him.
A piece of silver as big as a little finger, he pushed it to Princess Hongnong, "That's it."
Princess Hongnong looked at the broken silver, her eyes were red with anger, she looked up at him and asked: "There is only so much money left. If you don't want to make some money, you will just hide in the backyard and read a book?"
Fu Xuan: "...This city of Luoyang is no longer what it used to be. Even the Fu family's house has been burned down. We have just returned to Luoyang and the land is not yet hot. Where do you want me to make money?"
"Besides, we don't need to recruit troops or horses for the imperial court anymore, and we don't lack food and drink, so why do we still 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, Yushi Zhongcheng!
However, he fell in Chang'an and followed the princess to recruit troops for the Jin Kingdom. For five or six years, he did not receive a penny of salary from the court, and his family business was also involved.
Anyway, he didn't feel the slightest joy of being an official, and he didn't want to be an official at that time. If his father and daughter-in-law hadn't been attacking him from both sides and forcing him, he wouldn't have agreed to become an official.
Yes, this person is also one of the talents that the Jin Kingdom seeks.
When King Zhao Sima Lun was in power, he asked him to be Prime Minister, Minister of State, and Minister of Secretariat. He didn't agree, so he asked him to be Situ. After working for a while, he felt that being an official was boring, so he resigned again.
So in order to retain him, Sima Lun promoted him to Secretary Cheng and Hussar to Zhonglang. He worked as a lieutenant for a while. Later, his father-in-law was beaten and fled all the way to Chang'an, taking half of the court with him. At this time, he discovered that this
The son-in-law seemed to be quite talented, so he was promoted to Zuocheng.
At that time, Fu Xuan saw that the court was in such chaos that his father-in-law and the emperor were forced to leave Chang'an. He was not as loyal as his father and did not want to work for such a court. He felt that being an official in the Jin court was simply a waste of time.
Instead of wasting your life, you might as well stay at home and study.
Therefore, he refused to accept his father-in-law's imperial edict and should not be that official.
When Emperor Hui saw it, he thought that his son-in-law was too young to be an official. In addition, the ministers on the left and right said that he was good, so he promoted him to Huang Menlang. This time, before he could refuse, his father and the princess joined forces to force him to agree.
Later, when the power in Luoyang changed, Emperor Hui was welcomed back to Luoyang. Fu Zhi seemed to have a vague premonition, so he did not let Fu Xuan and his family go back with him, but found a reason to let them stay in Chang'an.
Later, two more princes were replaced in Luoyang City. Every time the power changed, the court had to be cleaned. However, the most killed were the descendants of the royal family. They killed their own family members, which can be said to be a river of blood.
If Princess Hongnong had been in Luoyang at that time, she would probably have been implicated and destroyed her family.
Later, Emperor Hui was poisoned, and his children were either detained or scattered. By the way, Princess Hongnong had several sisters. Two of them died, and the remaining two were all scattered among the people. I don’t know at this time.
Life or death, and where to live.
After the late emperor ascended the throne, he entrusted Fu Xuan and Princess Hongnong to work for him, so he appointed Fu Xuan as Yushi Zhongcheng.
At this moment, he didn't care, because in the huge Jin State, the emperor's actual control was only the small area that he could see.
After serving as an official for many years, he never received a penny of salary except at the beginning. Instead, he kept adding more money, and no one checked his attendance, so he lived as he pleased.
So it seems that it doesn't matter whether he accepts the official position or not, because he can't refuse his father and the princess-in-law, regardless of their loyalty and great cause.
But... now he is back in Luoyang. Although he has not gone out, he still understands the current situation of the officialdom. I heard that Zhao Hanzhang is diligent, so officials must be diligent. Not only do they have to get up early to go to the Yamen, but they also have to work overtime at night.
.
When Fu Xuan heard the news, he immediately decided to resign, even if the current court could afford his salary.
That's right, he would rather pay to be an official and have freedom than become an official to make money and lose his freedom!
