"Fu Pingsheng, Fu Pingsheng..."
After hearing the name, Zhu Hejian immediately fell into thinking.
At the same time, as Wang Baoren finished speaking, a middle-aged Confucian scholar and a young Confucian scholar immediately stepped out of the queue, bowed to Zhu Hejian and introduced themselves.
"Student Fu Pingsheng has met His Highness the Seventh Prince!"
"Student Lu De, please give me some advice from His Highness the Seventh Prince!"
After hearing the self-introductions of these two people, Zhu Hejian discovered that the middle-aged Confucian scholar was Fu Pingsheng, whose demeanor and demeanor were extremely capable, but with a hint of melancholy in his expression; the young Confucian scholar was Lu De, who was just now The young scholar who handed the book to him had an ordinary and unremarkable appearance, but his bearing was extraordinary.
After thinking again for a moment, Zhu Hejian finally recalled Fu Pingsheng's origins and deeds. He raised his head in disbelief and asked: "Fu Pingsheng... I have heard of this name! I remember that after the Shaanxi-Gansu war, Zhao Gechen submitted an invitation to the court. There is this name in the memorial!
Although ranked low, his achievements are impressive. First, he assisted the court to suppress several self-respecting border military attachés on Yulin South Road. Later, during the Shaanxi-Gansu War, he assisted the veteran general He Zhang in winning battles and winning many battles. Great work... but I don't know whether Mr. Fu and the Fu Pingsheng I know are the same person? Or is it just the same name? "
Hearing Zhu Hejian's inquiry, everyone present expressed admiration. Unexpectedly, Zhu Hejian not only clearly remembered Fu Pingsheng's identity and origin, but could even tell Fu Pingsheng's various achievements in detail. Learn and remember.
After hearing what Zhu Hejian said, Fu Pingsheng had a complicated expression and sighed: "The student is exactly the Fu Pingsheng that His Highness the Seventh Prince knows!"
Zhu Hejian showed admiration and said: "It turns out that he is really the hero of the imperial court that I know! However, I remember that Mr. Fu was the staff of General He, and he was listed on the list of people asking for merit. He should have been honored by the imperial court. Feng reward, why do you come to work next to Grand Master Wang now?"
Fu Pingsheng's expression became more complicated, but he hesitated and said nothing for a long time.
But the next moment, Wang Baoren said slowly: "Mr. Fu, His Highness the Seventh Prince is one of our own. Just tell the truth. There is no need to hide anything."
After Fu Pingsheng sighed, he finally explained: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince, the student was originally a staff member of the Jingbian Guards Mansion. When the Shaanxi-Gansu war first started, there were several military attachés on the South Road of Yulin Town who supported themselves. , disobeying orders, among them was Zhang Dacheng, the student’s leader at the time and Jingbian guard!
Later, General He Zhang and General He were ordered to suppress the force. Zhang Dacheng sent students to negotiate with General He to surrender. In the end, the students did not live up to their mission and managed to save the life of the leader. They had fulfilled their duties as a staff, but He When the old general saw that the student had some insight and courage, he took the student to his side and took charge of some paperwork. The student also admired General He's character and achievements, so naturally he readily agreed and helped him wholeheartedly..."
Having said this, Fu Pingsheng shook his head and sighed again, and continued: "However, after the students began to assist General He, they soon discovered an anomaly, that is, the imperial envoy Zhao Gechen, who was in charge of the military and political affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu, was apparently It seems that he has great trust in General He and places special emphasis on him, but in fact he has never regarded General He as his true confidant!
well! General He has always been upright and loyal to the emperor and the country. Although he is grateful for the kindness of Zhao Gechen and claims to be Zhao Gechen's confidant, General He is still more loyal to the court after all. If there is a conflict between the court and Zhao Gechen in the future , General He will definitely choose to side with the imperial court. Zhao Gechen obviously saw through this, so he never really trusted General He.
It can be said that in the eyes of Zhao Gechen, General He was just a discarded son and a shield from the beginning to the end. Moreover, Zhao Gechen had obviously guessed the future situation and believed that the central government would definitely try to eliminate him after the war was over. He is a powerful force in the army, so he has long planned to abandon General He in order to eliminate the court's wariness and protect his true henchmen!
After discovering this situation, the students repeatedly warned General He, hoping that General He would secretly guard Zhao Junchen and never trust Zhao Junchen blindly. He also suggested many times that General He change his family and switch to the sect of Mr. Liang Fuchen and Mr. Liang Ge in order to seek self-improvement. Save!
However, General He was too upright and trusted Zhao Junchen too much. Not only did he not listen to the students' advice, but he regarded the students as slanderers...
In the end, things developed as the villain expected. General He was abandoned by Zhao Junchen. After the war was over, although Zhao Junchen apparently listed General He among the top three on the list of people asking for credit, But it also made General He aroused the suspicion of the court. In the end, General He was naturally ignored by the court and became a powerful and powerful governor of the rear army. From now on, he can only live a mediocre life!
On the contrary, Zhao Junchen's real military lieutenants, such as Fang Zhenshan, Zhang Chengxun and others, all gained positions of real power because of General He's sacrifice and cover...
As for the student, although he was also on the list of applicants, because he was General He's staff, he was also implicated. In the end, he was not appointed by the court, but only received a reward.
After this incident, the students couldn't help but feel disheartened. In addition, after General He entered the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, he no longer had real power and no longer needed the students' assistance. Moreover, because of the students' original advice, they had no relationship with Mr. He. The relationship between the general and the general gradually became distant, so the student simply took the initiative to resign, left General He, and then ran to Jiangnan to relax...
Unexpectedly, after the student came to Jiangnan, he accidentally encountered and was recruited by Wang Taishi, so now he became Wang Taishi's aide. "
Because of Wang Baoren's instructions, Fu Pingsheng's explanation was very detailed and he also revealed a lot of useful information to Zhu Hejian!
For example, Zhao Junchen had long expected and been wary of Emperor Deqing's recent dispatches of factory guards to purge the Shaanxi-Gansu officialdom and the Shaanxi-Gansu border troops. Therefore, Emperor Deqing's purges were probably effective. Not big.
For another example, He Zhang, who seemed to have the same heart as Zhao Junchen, was actually not Zhao Junchen's real confidant, but was more loyal to the court. Therefore, Zhu Hejian could reuse He Zhang in the future to offset Zhao Junchen's influence on the Shaanxi-Gansu border army. Influence!
After thinking of these situations, Zhu Hejian's eyes kept fluctuating, and a lot of thoughts suddenly came to his mind.
On the other side, Wang Baoren smiled and said: "Mr. Fu will become my trusted aide, not by mistake, but I am like His Highness the Seventh Prince. I remember that Mr. Fu was the hero of the Great Victory of Shaanxi-Gansu. I learned that After hearing the news that Mr. Fu came to Jiangnan to relax, he couldn't hold back his thirst for talents, and only after visiting the thatched cottage three times did he invite Mr. Fu to his side for assistance."
After a pause, Wang Baoren continued meaningfully: "Mr. Fu has rich experience and a rich mind. He is involved in both political science and military affairs. He is a rare talent! The most important thing is that Fu Sir, he also knows a lot about the Zhao cabinet minister in the DPRK...
As far as I know, Zhao Gechen and His Highness the Crown Prince have secretly joined forces. During this period, they have joined forces with Zhou Shangjing to repeatedly prevent the crown prince from deposing... Therefore, after the Nanjing Sixth Division is over, His Highness the Seventh Prince should be with Mr. Fu should have more exchanges! "
Obviously, Wang Baoren deliberately arranged Fu Pingsheng to be with Zhu Hejian for other purposes, with the hidden intention of helping Zhu Hejian deal with Zhao Junchen.
After all, the current situation in the temple is very clear. It is the three-legged force of the "Zhao Party", "Zhou Party", and "New Prince Party". After Wang Baoren ends the affairs of Nanjing Sixth Division and returns to the center of the temple, if If he wants to use his hands and feet to make a difference, both Zhou Shangjing and Zhao Junchen will be Wang Baoren's roadblocks, so Wang Baoren's approach can be regarded as a precautionary measure.
After understanding Wang Baoren's deep meaning, Zhu Hejian naturally wanted to accept such a "good intention", and immediately nodded and said: "It's natural! This junior came to Nanjing for the first time, and he didn't know anything about the situation in various places in the south of the Yangtze River. He said that he was blind. It is not an exaggeration to say that we will have to face a lot of problems prepared by Zhou Shoufu for the juniors, so naturally we will have to rely on the two staffs of Grand Master Wang."
After saying that, Zhu Hejian stood up in person, bowed to Fu Pingsheng and Lu De, and said: "From today on, I hope you two gentlemen will give you more advice!"
Seeing Zhu Hejian's humble attitude, Fu Pingsheng and Lu De quickly bowed in return, promising that they would do their best to help.
At the same time, although the topic just now revolved around Fu Pingsheng's past experience, and Fu Pingsheng would also help Zhu Hejian deal with Zhao Junchen in the future, Zhu Hejian was more concerned about the young Confucian scholar Lu De next to Fu Pingsheng at the moment.
Human language is always subconsciously mixed with one's own subconscious.
Although Wang Baoren repeatedly emphasized Fu Pingsheng's role and ability, when he just named Lu De and Fu Pingsheng to meet Zhu Hejian, he first named Lu De and then Fu Pingsheng. .
Moreover, after Wang Baoren compiled all the difficult problems prepared by Zhou Shangjing into a book, he also entrusted it to Lu De for safekeeping.
Obviously, deep down in Wang Baoren's heart, he valued Lu De more and trusted Lu De more.
"But I don't know what ability this Lu De has that makes Wang Baoren value him so much, and his status is higher than that of Fu Pingsheng, who has a special role!"
While he was thinking secretly, Zhu Hejian's eyes swept across Lu De's face, but he couldn't see anything unusual about this person at all.
But since Wang Baoren did not explain deliberately, Zhu Hejian naturally did not ask any more questions. He just exchanged greetings with Lu De and Fu Pingsheng and then talked to Wang Baoren again.
Next, because of Zhu Hejian's deliberate efforts to please him, he and Wang Baoren got along more and more happily. Wang Baoren also had a better and better impression of Zhu Hejian, and patiently taught Zhu Hejian many official skills and knowledge of the government and the public.
About half an hour later, seeing that Zhu Hejian couldn't help but look tired, and thinking that Zhu Hejian had traveled all the way to Nanjing and had not had time to rest, Wang Baoren left in time and agreed to meet Zhu Hejian again in two days. Zhu Hejian was indeed physically unable to hold on, so he naturally did not force him to stay. He just sent Wang Baoren outside Zhanyuan in person.
*
But he said that after Wang Baoren left Zhanyuan, he planned to return to his mansion to rest.
But just as Wang Baoren was walking towards the sedan chair, another of his staff hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but asked: "Master Wang, we have also seen the difficult problems that Zhou Shangjing prepared for His Highness the Seventh Prince. Everything is extremely difficult, and even if it is handled by us, we will still feel in a dilemma. You just leave it to him to solve it by himself, without giving any suggestions, leaving only two staff to help... What if he fails? manage?"
Wang Baoren, who had been confiding with Zhu Hejian just now, was smiling but not smiling at this time, and said leisurely: "As the next crown prince, if he can handle everything on his own, then what else do you need me to do, the crown prince and grand master? He failed. That’s good. Only when he messes up does he need me to clean up the mess, so that I can sell him favors. At the same time... my importance can also be reflected!"
After saying that, Wang Baoren bent down and entered his sedan chair.
