And his wife was the baby-sister given by his parents. But after his father died in office, the family began to decline, and it became even more depressed when he started studying. His father-in-law, who had always been close friends with his father during his lifetime, believed that their family was not worthy of him and wanted to regret the marriage. And even though his wife was from a wealthy family, she was quite chivalrous.
After learning that her father wanted to get back the marriage certificate and promise her to someone else, she went to Fu's house overnight and forced him to get married. By the time Fu Yuanshan's father-in-law found his daughter, he had already cooked rice. After his marriage, he sold his jewelry to support his studies. A young lady from a wealthy family supported him to become a Jinshi by pawning jewelry and doing laundry.
After winning the imperial examination, Fu Yuanshan has always been grateful for his wife's sacrifice for him. Over the years as an official, although his status has been constantly rising, he has never taken a concubine, not even a girl in the same room. In the mansion, there are never any domestic prostitutes or singing and dancing girls. The two couples have been in love for decades. His wife is very nice there. He has been an official in these years and has always been diligent and thrifty in managing his family.
Fu Yuanshan never had to worry about being filial to his mother-in-law and raising his children. In one breath, Fu Yuanshan gave birth to five sons and two daughters, and they all survived. In this era where the death rate of princes is very high, this is definitely rare. It's just that Mrs. Fu's temperament is a bit stubborn. But Xingzi is a bit nervous, careless about many things, and doesn't care about anything.
After Fu Yuanshan was transferred to Beijing, he won the trust of Huang Qiong and his son, and his official position was promoted one after another. But this Mrs. Fu has been like this for decades. He never pays attention to those officials and wives in the capital who flatter him but despise him from the bottom of his heart. He has never participated in Fu Yuanshan's official affairs, and has never had any pillow talk. Today I asked because I was really curious.
Seeing the curious look on his old wife's face, Fu Yuanshan was really helpless. But I also know that if I don't satisfy my old wife's curiosity today, I won't sleep tonight. They had been married for decades. Except for a period of time when Fu Yuanshan's mother was still alive and Fu Yuanshan was serving as an official and could not bear his mother traveling long distances with him, so he did not take his wife with him when he took office, the two had never slept in separate rooms.
Over the past few decades, Fu Yuanshan has become accustomed to having his old wife by his side. It can even be said that if his old wife is not around, he still can't sleep. In desperation, Fu Yuanshan looked at the living room and saw that there was no one outside, and asked his wife to promise not to leak a word, and then said: "Are you really willing to hand over all the power to me now? There are no two emperors in the sky, and there are no two masters in the people."
"In the imperial family, what kind of love between father and son is there? Even a heroic master like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed his own son's entire family just because of a lie, and even his grandson was not spared? What if someone hadn't stepped forward to come forward? , to save the infant emperor's great-grandson, I'm afraid there will be no later Emperor Xuan Zhongxing. Didn't Tang Xuanzong also kill his five sons in one go?"
"The emperor is the king of a country. There is no emperor in this world who is willing to voluntarily give up his power. There are many reasons why the emperor passed the throne early. First of all, the situation in the court is becoming increasingly difficult, and the emperor is already tired of dealing with it. There is simply no way and no way to solve the current predicament today. And this prince is indeed a bit ruthless in his actions, but he is also really capable of understanding the world. "
"The accuracy of looking at problems and the number of ways to solve them are far beyond comparison today. No matter how difficult it is, he can handle it with ease. The most important thing is that although his methods are often a bit too strong, , but his actions are extremely meticulous. Even if you know that the things he wants to do may be wrong, no one can find a reason to object. "
"Moreover, this person is extremely good at conspiracy, and he can use it openly and honestly to restrain the conspiracies of those people. He is also very bold and bold in using talents, and his courage is far beyond the reach of others. Zhang Qian, the former prince's best friend, and this person The prince once had public conflicts on the street. He was also very corrupt while in office, and he is known as the master who shaved off two ounces of meat from his legs. Who would dare to use such a person? "
"But in the hands of this master, he immediately became a capable official. What happened to Ningxia Mansion after the rebellion? The local Han people were almost killed, and there were ruins everywhere. Just look at it in just two years In the past, what has become of Ningxia Mansion now? In the spring of this year, the reported land reclamation figure was 300,000 hectares. Although the vitality is far from being restored, this fool knows that there is not enough time. "
"And when I went to Shanxi to suppress the rebellion, I brought with me the Taiyuan prefect who was transferred from Zhengzhou Prefecture. His abilities and skills are first-class. Look at the current Jiangnan war, the group of young generals used by the court, that one is not him The one who was promoted with all his strength? A fourth-rank commander three years ago is now a second-rank military envoy. That is Yu Mingyuan, who was only a third-rank commander when he left the palace."
"Look at now? This war is still in power. I'm afraid the title of Marquis is the least. Even I, the prime minister, was the one he insisted on promoting. This prince, whether it is the vision of people or the boldness of employing people, It is far from comparable to today. If he had not planned the Jiangnan war in advance and boldly used new generals, I am afraid that half of the country in Jiangnan would have been lost long ago."
"Although the emperor is in good health, after all, as a man of age, he is a little helpless in the face of the current situation, and his energy is also a little low. In addition, he seems to be decisive and determined, but in fact he is more indecisive. When dealing with many problems, he is very indecisive. It is a constant process. It can be said that in the past few years, our prince Bingzheng has spent at least half of his time wiping the emperor's butt."
"Although he is a bit mediocre today, he is not a foolish king after all. He still has the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Over the years since he took the throne, he has clearly seen the shortcomings accumulated in the world. I know that now, both in terms of energy and ability, We no longer have the ability to solve the world's ills. Now I know clearly what the current court really needs."
"Furthermore, in the past few years, the princes fought for the heirs and killed each other, which also consumed too much of Jinshang's energy and made Jinshang a little discouraged. In addition, Jinshang was originally worried that he was getting older. , it is possible to repeat the mistakes of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, who first became clear and then concealed. Instead of the world pointing out at that time, it is better to pass the throne in advance to avoid causing greater disasters in the future and endangering the entire world." "Actually, the current situation, What is the difference from the Anshi Rebellion during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty? They were all rebelling in the same feudal town. If there is a real difference, it is because the prince looked ahead and made certain arrangements in the south of the Yangtze River, delaying the advance of the rebels. It was not like the Anshi Rebellion, where half the country fell in a short period of time, even the two capitals were lost, and we could only hastily patrol westward to Chengdu."
"Now, although he has granted almost all rights to the prince, the name is not justified after all. If the prince does not inherit the throne for a day, he will still be subject to certain restrictions on certain things. And it is also easy to provoke others. An opportunity for estrangement. It was precisely because I saw this clearly and knew that I was unable to deal with the current chaos, and was worried about losing my ancestral power, that I simply took action. "
"One more thing, that is, our prince, through the two unified armies to suppress the rebellion, cleverly controlled the Four Camps and the Xijing Camp, the two most elite field armies of the Qi Dynasty, in his hands. Henan Road The guards, including the elite of the eight imperial armies in the capital, are also under his control. If the emperor has any thoughts of changing his reserve, he may immediately cause trouble to Xiao Qiang."
"I'm afraid the emperor didn't expect that his son had such a method. After suppressing the rebellion twice, he was able to control the two most elite armies of the imperial court. If it had been anyone else, who could? Do you have this ability? I'm afraid even the emperor himself can't. Rather than having a dispute between father and son and getting into a situation where they are incompatible, it would be better for him to abdicate the throne on his own initiative to avoid embarrassment."
"Because our prince's views on governance are completely different from those of the emperor. Although he was supported by the emperor against all opinions, his political views are fundamentally different. If one of them does not give in, then sooner or later the father and son will be We need to part ways. And in the current situation, the emperor is probably the weak one. That’s why the emperor takes retreat to advance and fulfill his own dignity."
"Compared with our son, even though our son is the same age as the prince, in terms of skills, he is not as good as a breastfeeding child. He looks like a weak scholar, but that son When the main army suppressed the rebellion in Longyou, three arrows shot the rebel leader Tuoba Jiqian seriously injured and killed his eldest son. When he was eighteen years old, he went on a killing spree in Zhengzhou, killing hundreds of officials in one breath."
"In suppressing the rebellion in Longyou, I killed two Jiedu envoys, and also beheaded Tuoba's younger brother alive, as well as almost all the powerful people in the Tuoba family. Don't look at all the clans in the world, they are all extremely arrogant. When you meet He screams loudly at the slightest thing, and no one dares to touch it today. But this lord openly and honestly imprisoned the father and son of Qingyang County Prince, who of all the clans in the world dares to say no?"
"I heard that after he put down the rebellion in Longyou, when he followed him in the review to quell the rebellion of tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the Xijing camp, there was still a dark cloud before the review started. When he finished the review, the clouds cleared and the fog disappeared. A golden light penetrated The dark clouds that had not completely dissipated shone on him as if a god had descended. The unruly officers and soldiers of the Xijing camp knelt on the ground in unison and shouted long live."
Having said this, Fu Yuanshan looked at his wife with whom he was in love lovingly, and sighed softly: "I have heard about this matter. Do you think the emperor doesn't know about it? The emperor has now taken the initiative to abdicate and handed over the throne in advance, but in It’s just to fulfill my last dignity, and I don’t want to cause too much quarrel between father and son. Doing this is a bit unfair to the emperor, but it is a great blessing to the country and the people."
After Fu Yuanshan said this, he looked at the astonished wife and said, "I have told you these words, but you must not say them out. I am a person who loves face very much, even if this matter has already been discussed by the government and the public. Everyone knows things, but they can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. Also, restrain the few children at home who have not yet gone out, and let them control their mouths and don't let trouble come out of their mouths. "
In response to Fu Yuanshan's uneasy warning, Mrs. Fu, who had a somewhat big-tempered temperament, but who had been an official's wife with Fu Yuanshan for so many years and knew certain things, nodded with deep understanding: "How many people at home do you think is right?" I will restrain all the children and not let them go out and talk nonsense. The children themselves also know what should be said and what should not be said..."
"However, when the new king ascends the throne, he will definitely hire Enke. The second and third sons are all eager to take the plunge this time. The boss was also thinking about looking for you a few days ago and wanted to find a job outside. . He said that he wanted to do some practical things for the people. If he stays in the capital like this, he will be ruined sooner or later. He didn't dare to tell you, so he thought about asking me to beg you for a favor. "
