There are not many masters in the capital, of course there are many. There are as many masters as there are in the six departments, Jin Yiwei, Da Nei Shi, Twelve Supervisors, and the Five Cities Military and Horse Department.
A brick fell from the city gate tower and ten people were photographed. Six were martial arts masters, two were Buddhist monks, and two were Taoist practitioners.
Sixty percent of the essence of the entire Ning Dynasty was accumulated in the capital city. The four cities in the southeast, northwest and northwest were all full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Even Wang Xu did not dare to say that he had opened up the streets.
"No, I've lived in the capital for more than ten years and I haven't seen many masters!" Fu Yuechi looked surprised when Wang Xu looked at him like a fool.
This kind of surprise is not disguised, but real, as if she is really surprised.
Wang Xu shrugged and said nothing. As the saying goes, a summer insect cannot speak of ice. Fu Yuechi's swordsmanship was messy and his breath was unstable. At best, he was at a second- or third-rate level.
In the world of martial arts, vision and strength are directly proportional. It is impossible for a beggar to be friends with a billionaire. I am afraid that with Fu Yuechi's martial arts, even a master would not be able to reach him.
"Wang Qianhu, I've been waiting for a long time."
Fu Tianqiu arrived by chance. Before Wang Xu could chat with the two girls, his father arrived from behind.
Fu Tianqiu has a standard Chinese character face. Although he is nearly sixty years old, his face is red and full of energy. Looking at him, he gives people the impression of a great man and a real man.
Wang Xu had visited countless people, and when he saw Fu Tianchou's appearance, he had to say hello.
To be fair, he is the kind of person who will be regarded as a good person by others as soon as he stands there. Plus he is an official, so of course he is a good official.
"Looks like a loyal man!" Looking at Fu Tianchou with a loyal face, like a loyal minister, Wang Xu thought of Qin Hui in history.
When the imperial censor impeached Qin Hui, he once said that Qin Hui was handsome, affectionate, treacherous and loyal, hypocritical in words and deeds, and inconsistent in his words.
The phrase "charming and affectionate" means that he looks loyal and can be entrusted with big things, but in fact his heart is unpredictable.
This is better explained by the fact that some people in history commented that Wang Mang, Cao Cao, An Lushan, and Wei Zhongxian were both traitors and loyal.
Such a majestic Fu Tianchou, coupled with these three steps and one scene, is like the Fu Mansion in the painting. Wang Xu can't think of anyone else except Qin Hui.
In fact, all the famous sycophants throughout the ages have this majestic appearance, just like a real man.
On the contrary, loyal ministers are not very lovable and often do not look good.
Take Yue Fei for example. The ancients described Yue Fei's appearance as having a yellow complexion, a strong man with a short beard, and a slightly curved back, like an old farmer.
The ancients regarded long beards as beauty. Judging from the evaluation, Yue Fei's appearance was definitely not too good-looking, otherwise he would be described by words such as a Chinese character face, sky-high eyebrows, eight feet tall, and majestic.
In fact, this is easy to understand. Pang Tong during the Three Kingdoms period was a capable person.
The result was that a wise man like Liu Bei was known as a wise man, but he did not look down on Pang Tong at first.
Why, because Pang Tong is too ugly and doesn't look like a capable person.
Liu Bei was like this, let alone others, so all dynasties had requirements for the appearance of officials.
It looks like a crooked melon with cracked jujubes. You will never win the imperial examination in your life. Even if you do, you will be removed from the imperial examination.
Zhong Kui is one of the representatives, with great literary talent and talent. Unfortunately, he was rejected during the Jinluan Palace interview because of his ugly appearance. As a result, he bumped into Jinzhu and died.
Just based on his appearance, Fu Tianchou can definitely be called a man. No wonder he rose to great heights in the court.
"Wang Xu from Fuzhou Jinyiwei Thousand Households has met Mr. Fu!"
Wang Xu stood up and gently cupped his hands. He didn't think highly of Fu Tianchou in his heart, but there was no flaw in his face.
"Don't dare, don't dare." With a kind smile on his face, Fu Tianchou shook his head and said: "I have been demoted and returned to my hometown. I am no longer Master Fu. If you don't mind, just call me Mr. Fu. I
I have disciples and disciples all over the world, and I can still deserve the title of sir. If you dislike him, you can just call me old master. These are all false names and cannot be taken seriously."
Wang Xu raised his eyebrows. He was afraid that if he really called him Lao Fu, Fu Tianchou would turn against him.
A person lives by his face, and a tree lives by his skin. For such a famous member of the Donglin Party, nothing is more important than face.
"My husband is full of talents all over the world. I have always admired his name for a long time. It's just a fate that has prevented me from meeting him. Now that my husband has returned to his hometown, Wang can't help but be happy. Don't be surprised if he comes uninvited."
Wang Xu spoke with the word "Wen Jue" in his mouth, then lowered his voice at the end and said softly: "Fuzhou City is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes. There are always some people who flatter the superiors and disdain the inferiors. If there is anything difficult to handle, it is not convenient for you to come forward."
Whatever you do, sir, just give me your orders."
In the eyes of outsiders, Fu Tianqiu had fallen into disgrace and lost his holy family, but Wang Xu knew that this old guy was retreating in order to advance, and he would make a comeback within a few months.
At that time, both Pudu Cihang and the princelings will be crushed by the old guy and the Donglin Party. When the time comes to judge the merits and rewards, Fu Tianqiu will go from being the second-rank Minister of the Ministry of War to directly becoming the first-rank official and one of the three princes.
The Taibao position.
If you invest in him now, you will be able to make money back in just a few months. Wang Xu's fourth-grade Jinyiwei Town envoy's canonization will come soon. If you catch this fast ship, you may be able to defeat the princelings.
Go one step further.
"I am returning to my hometown to retire. I go out every day and come back at sunset. The ups and downs outside have nothing to do with me. As for the instructions, I would never dare to take them. Come, drink tea, drink tea." Fu
Tianqiu started pouring tea and did not accept Wang Xu's kindness at all.
The two exchanged cups, chatting in the east and west. Wang Xu tried to guide him in that direction several times, but Fu Tianchou blocked him without leaving any trace.
After going back and forth, the whole pot of tea was finished, and Fu Tianchou didn't ask for more tea. It was obvious that he meant to see off the guests.
Wang Xu glanced at the teapot, his eyes were cold, and he quickly calmed down, and said with a smile: "It's getting late. Sir, I'm tired from the journey, so I won't bother you."
"walk slowly"
Wang Xu walked all the way out of Fu Mansion and looked at the door that was slowly closing, with a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.
From the beginning to the end, Fu Tianchou was always indifferent. I am afraid that in his heart, he was also mocking himself for not overestimating his abilities.
It seems that I came here in a hurry today. If I wait for the appointment of the governor, I might be able to have lunch at the Fu Mansion.
It's great now. Not to mention staying for lunch, I didn't even enter the main hall and was taken to the tea pavilion to greet me.
A tea pavilion is not a place to greet guests. When guests come and are taken to a tea pavilion, there are generally only two possibilities.
One is a close relationship, you are not treated as an outsider, and everyone seems relaxed while drinking tea and chatting.
The second type is that people don't think highly of you at all, and think that because of your status, you can just go to the tea pavilion to entertain you, but you can't become a guest in the main hall.
Wang Xu was not a fool. It was obvious that he was in the second situation and was not taken seriously by Fu Tianchou at all. He was dismissed as a mere fish.
But this was fine. At least from Fu Tianchou's attitude, Wang Xu was sure that Fu Tianchou was not really demoted and returned to his hometown.
Otherwise, the county magistrate would be better off taking charge now. A former Minister of the Ministry of War who was demoted back to his hometown would not dare not give Jin Yiwei face at the local level.
Fu Tianchou dared to do this, which shows that he was still the Minister of the Ministry of War and did not take his demotion seriously at all. He only had eyes for the high officials in the court, and the local officials did not even bother to take a look.
Under what circumstances could Fu Tianchou be so confident? Wang Xusi thought about it. Only when he was not really demoted, but was just a ploy, and could be revived by the court at any time, would he be able to sit on the fish platform like this?
heart.
"Are you going to sit tight on the Diaoyutai? Hum hum, we'll see, there will be times when you beg me."
Fu Tianchou was sure, and Wang Xu was even more sure. He was familiar with the plot and knew very well that when the princelings were about to lose their ability, they slandered Fu Tianchou as a rebel and would be sent to the capital for trial.
Moreover, the trial was just a cover-up, the real purpose was to lure Fu Tianchou out and have Pudu Cihang intercept and kill him on the way.
Wang Xu was confident that he could not accomplish anything, but bad things could still happen. Fu Tianchou thought that he had a high position and was in control of everything, which was a big mistake.
As long as he does it well, Wang Xu has many ways to make Fu Tianchou owe him favors, and when necessary, he can also give the old guy some pain.
"I still need you now, otherwise"
Wang Xu got on his horse, looked at the plaque outside Fu's house, and shouted: "Drive"
