There was still a while for lunch. In the peaceful Jinxiang Hall, the family gathered together to talk first, and gradually it seemed to become a little casual, so it was divided into three parts.
Mrs. Xiang, Fu Liu and her second sister were teasing the child together to talk about family matters; Guo Shao and Fu Zhaoxu went to the study outside the door to talk.
King of Wei and his eldest daughter Fu Jinzhan were talking on two collapses near the door. The sound was not loud, and their voices were even more difficult to hear clearly in the laughter of the children there.
Fu Yanqing looked sideways, and Jinzhan also looked along his gaze. From the open hall door, he could see Guo Shao's side face.
Guo Shao was sitting in the upper seat of the study and was talking, while Fu Zhaoxu on the opposite side had only a back, his butt was a little bit dipped in the stool, and his sitting posture was very respectful.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for people to hear things elsewhere when they are talking, not to mention that the distance is also very far.
Sure enough, Fu Yanqing's expression changed slightly, and he said earnestly: For the father and the children, you are the one who knows the most.
Fu Jinzhan felt something was wrong when she heard this, but she listened calmly on her face.
Fu Yanqing pondered for a moment and said: The Fu family is a relative of the royal family.Now the emperor is the nephew of Taizu, and the late emperor (Chai Rong, the adopted son is also the same as his son in name) is now the cousin; if you are the late emperor, you are the brother and sister-in-law of the current emperor, and now the youngest uncle...
Jinzhan had already fully understood what her father meant at this time. She felt as if she had knocked down Wuwei Ping for a moment, but she had to try hard to pretend that nothing happened.
Since my father mentioned this, he must have guessed it, and it would be even more impossible to say it if it was shown on his face.
However, Fu Yanqing observed Jinzhan's face, as if she thought she didn't understand, and continued: You were the queen of Mother Yi, and now you are honored by the title of Queen Duanci, and you are very respected in front of you and behind you.Besides, my second sister is the queen and has given birth to the eldest son. What else do we lack?
When Jinzhan heard this, her face became hot and her expression could be restrained, but some reactions that came out of her heart were difficult to control. In the face of etiquette and virtue, a strong sense of guilt and shame surged into her heart.
Jinzhan has been well-read in poetry and books since she was a child, so how could she not understand etiquette? She has been influenced by this for a long time and most of them recognize the nobleness of those things.
In the open and honest truth that was like a bell, various secret details flashed through her mind. Her fingers grabbed into the man's bun, and her fingers touched the touch of her beard, as well as the wet and smooth sweat on her bulging shirts, as well as various touches and sensations.
Her face became hotter and hotter, and her brain felt a little dizzy.
But I still know the meaning of my father's words: saying that she respects her means to advise her not to lose her morality, which will make the Fu family shame; saying about her second sister means that there is no need to let her continue to bear the responsibility for marriage.
Today, Jinzhan saw Fu Liu who grew up, and he knew in his heart that there was more than one choice for the royal family to marry the Fu family.
The marigolds are mixed with emotions, and there is a faint sense of loss of value and abandonment.She glanced at Guo Shao outside the door.But I found that Guo Shao was looking at him while talking.
He usually pays attention to the etiquette and behavior of Jinzhan, but Jinzhan is careful to find that as long as he is there, Guo Shao's attention is always on himself, and it has never changed in a few years...
Are you... Fu Yanqing looked at the Jinzhang.His hair was mostly white, and it seemed that he was not good at leading troops, but he was still in good spirits.
Jinzhan said straight and said: I can't even speak up when I'm waiting for it.
Fu Yanqing hurriedly said: I shouldn’t say anything to my father. I just sigh that your mother has passed away, and my aunt dares not care.You understand that it’s good to be a father.
Jinzhan never dared to see Guo Shao again, but just observed what he was doing in Yu Guang.
...Guo Shao is not as entangled as Jinzhan. He even thinks that nothing is wrong with this matter itself.
He and Guo Wei have no blood relationship, not to mention that Chai Rong is Guo Wei's adopted son; this kind of thing is not daring to be blatant for a while, but it is a little contrary to the ethics at that time, and it is not that he thinks it is wrong.
He was talking about military affairs with Fu Zhaoxu seriously: In this battle, Zhaoxu would have about 50,000 soldiers and horses, 20,000 soldiers and 30,000 soldiers and 30,000 soldiers in his hands, and 30,000 soldiers in the left hand of the Long Jie army (Huainan soldiers).The imperial court did not want you to use 50,000 people to destroy the Northern Han Kingdom. There are three purposes: first, to further erode the territory of the Northern Han Kingdom and consume its troops and national strength; second, if the Liao army comes to support, it can make it exhausted. Anyway, the Liao army comes to support far greater than our attack route; in addition, it can also respond to the Liao army's attack on Hebei in a retaliatory manner.
Fu Zhao said: The last general is so frightened and trepidated that he must do his best to complete His Majesty’s strategy.
Guo Shao remembered that the situation in Luzhou was critical and Fu Zhaoxu had the courage to go into the mouth alone. He felt that although this person was kind, he was still a courageous person, and what he lacked was nothing more than the experience of a great war.He said kindly: General Fu is a military general who has led the army, so there is no need to worry, as long as he understands the way to advance and retreat.The Long Jie Army and the Gan German Army belong to the guards' cavalry and brigade system, with a complete system of orders. The Privy Council will also send officials to form the front camp military office. The marching and formation are all in order. Those who dare to disobey the military orders have evidence to investigate.
After entering the Northern Han Kingdom, you may encounter field battles in the Northern Han army, so there is no need to be afraid of them.According to the Privy Council, there are only 20,000 or 30,000 elite troops left in the Northern Han Army. They dare not all of them and are not opponents of Long Jie Army.General Fu did not have to worry, fight steadily and fight head-on, and then the troops came to Jinyang City; when the Liao army came to help, they retreated to Liaozhou to watch, and the Liao army did not dare to attack the city of heavy troops.
Fu Zhaoxu asked again: If the Northern Han army retreated to the city, can we rob the surrounding areas?
What Guo Shao wanted to see most was to force the population of the Northern Han Kingdom to the Central Plains, so as to fundamentally weaken the strength of the Northern Han Kingdom; but if the warriors were allowed to execute it, burn, kill, and robbery would not be easily controlled.
Guo Shao was a little hesitant. He pondered for a moment, looked at Fu Zhaoxu and said: We fought south and north for peace in the world and the people lived and worked in peace.
Fu Zhaoxu clasped his fists and said: I will obey Your Majesty's will.
When the lunch banquet was over, everyone stopped talking about the important things.
Fu Zhaoxu did not stay in Tokyo for too long, and left Beijing the next day to prepare for military affairs.
Guo Shao was also discussing with the ministers about his preparations for the Northern Han Dynasty, including sending Fu Zhaoxu to harass him, which is also one of the early preparations.
In this war, Guo Shao felt that it was more troublesome than the previous two civil wars, not only because the Northern Han Kingdom was more difficult to fight, but mainly because the Liao Kingdom had to help.
After Guo Shao and Fu Zhaoxu left, they remembered another person who was very good at fighting: Liu Renzhan.
……
Liu Renzhan was placed under house arrest in Tokyo before. After the Southern Tang Kingdom was destroyed, the people guarding his yard also withdrew.
Now he has no one to care about it, but the court has not allowed him to return to the Southern Tang Kingdom.
Liu Renzhan has nothing to do all day long and often strolls in the streets and alleys.
He had just returned from the tea shop, but he saw Liu Chong and Lin Renzhao at his residence.
Lin Renzhao and Liu Renzhan are in similar situations, no one cares about it, and there are still people who give money and food every month.
This person has a bad relationship with many generals and officials in the Southern Tang Kingdom. When he saw Liu Renzhan, he shouted respectfully: The last general will pay homage to Mr. Liu.
Liu Renzhan said: There is no distinction between you and me now, so there is no need to be such a polite way.
Lin Renzhao said: Lin respects Mr. Liu, not because of his position.
Father.Liu Chong also came up to greet him.
Liu Renzhan glanced at his son and asked: What's wrong with you?
Liu Chong showed an impatient and angry look on his face: I just talked to Brother Lin about this matter. We were wasting our time in Tokyo, and no one was taking care of it anyway, so it would be better to go back to our hometown to plan things.
What can you do as a military general?Liu Renzhan asked.
The son was distracted by words, and the Southern Tang Kingdom no longer existed. The current situation could not be conquered by the Wu Yue Kingdom or the Southern Han Kingdom.
Liu Renzhan turned to look at Lin Renzhao, a big man with a beard next to him: Can General Lin join the Zhou army as a general?
Lin Renzhao was a little hesitant and quickly said: If Liu Gong surrenders to him, Lin is willing to follow his command.
Liu Renzhan nodded, expecting that Lin Renzhao would say so, so he simply asked.
Lin Renzhao's experience in the Southern Tang Kingdom was not good. He was attacked many times by Liu Cheng and the imperial guard general Huangfu Jixun in the east at that time. Later, he was executed and let him go. If he was loyal to the Southern Tang Kingdom, he would probably not be willing to run away.
Liu Renzhan sighed immediately: I originally wanted to serve the Southern Tang Kingdom to repay the favor of knowing, but now the country has been destroyed; the Emperor of Great Zhou also had the grace of not killing, and even pardoned the young daughter's great sin.I must not be ungrateful.
After hearing this, Lin Renzhao nodded seriously, looking thoughtful, and his expression was very serious.
Liu Renzhan said again: We are generals, and we also have great righteousness.Today, when we are unified, it will not be a bad thing if we can serve our lives in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But after all, we are from the Southern Tang Kingdom, so we can’t just come over and ask for an official position, right?Liu Chongdao.
Liu Renzhan snorted, you still have to practice your mind and be completely unable to calm down and you will be impatient when using troops!I asserted that sooner or later the Emperor of Great Zhou would summon me to the palace to meet the saint.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a slave hurried over and said: Emperor... The emperor is here!
The three of them were stunned in the main hall, and Liu Chong asked impatiently: Have you seen it clearly?
The servant hurriedly said: The yellow umbrella cover has everything.Some officials came up to say that they asked me to come in and report!
I was wrong about it... Liu Renzhan's face turned red and she waved, "Let's go out and have a look."
The three of them hurried out from the gate of the yard and saw that the new armored guards were on the street, and a four-carriage car was surrounded by ceremonial guards. Although it was not a large-scale etiquette for the emperor to travel, those objects were indeed used by the emperor.
At this time, a young man wearing a purple round-necked robe and black gauze walked down. Who wasn't Guo Shao?
Liu Renzhan looked hurried and led a few people around him to kneel at the door, shouting: Your Majesty will live forever!
Guo Shao strode up and helped Liu Renzhan up with his own hands: Mr. Liu, please get up quickly, I have wanted to visit him for a long time.
Mrs. Xiang, Fu Liu and her second sister were teasing the child together to talk about family matters; Guo Shao and Fu Zhaoxu went to the study outside the door to talk.
King of Wei and his eldest daughter Fu Jinzhan were talking on two collapses near the door. The sound was not loud, and their voices were even more difficult to hear clearly in the laughter of the children there.
