Basically all the Fangzhen Jiedushi have mansions and properties in Tokyo, which are managed and taken care of by their relatives, assistants and even domestic servants on weekdays, so that they can go to Beijing to have an audience, report on their work, or carry out other activities.
Fu Yanqing naturally has a mansion in Tokyo, and it has been a mansion for decades. From the Tang Dynasty to the present Han Dynasty, the Fu family has been treated favorably and favorably by those in power throughout the dynasties.
After leaving the palace and returning to the mansion, Fu Yanqing still had some visible complexity on his face. Taking off his thick official robe, he sat down and still thought about it. Of course he knew Liu Zhiyuan's intention. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country of Han Dynasty was not stable, so he married into the Fu family to stabilize his political power.
As far as Fu Yanqing was concerned, he would naturally be happy to marry the emperor, and there would be no pretentious reaction. It's just that the eldest daughter had been promised to Li Shouzhen's son before, but Liu Zhiyuan was interested in the eldest daughter.
"Dad, you're back." While thinking, a clear voice rang in my ears.
Looking up, he saw the eldest daughter in a skirt appearing in front of her, with a gentle smile on her beautiful face. Being beautiful and good-looking are just the most basic qualities of Dafu. The gentle, confident and generous temperament about him is the most touching thing.
"Yeah!" Fu Yanqing responded.
Da Fu sat down leisurely and served Fu Yanqing a cup of tea. He smiled calmly and said, "The emperor must value daddy very much. Let's win him over in every possible way."
Seeing the eldest daughter's intelligence, she couldn't help stroking her beard and replied: "Yes! Not only that, it also poses a problem for the father!"
Da Fu was a little surprised: "What kind of problem is it? Will the emperor still embarrass dad?"
Seeing the modest and smart appearance of his eldest daughter, Fu Yanqing felt more and more that Li Shouzhen's son was not worthy of his little wife. Of course, if Liu Zhiyuan hadn't come suddenly like this, he would probably have sent someone to send Da Fu to Puzhou to get married soon.
Facing the eldest daughter's curious gaze, Fu Yanqing said, "There will be changes in your marriage!"
There was a trace of astonishment on his fair face, and then he asked nervously: "What's wrong? Is it related to the emperor?"
This little lady is really smart and reacts very quickly. Fu Yanqing lowered his head and took a sip of tea before saying, "The Emperor intends to make you the Crown Princess!"
As soon as he said this, Da Fu suddenly looked shocked, but he quickly came back to his senses, lowered his head, frowned slightly, and fell into thought. Seeing her reaction, Fu Yanqing asked, "What do you think?"
Da Fu raised his head and his expression returned to calm: "I'm afraid it's hard for dad to refuse the emperor."
Fu Yanqing smiled bitterly and said: "Although the emperor asked my father to think about it carefully, he really didn't give him any room for consideration!"
At this time, I suddenly heard Dafu murmuring in a low voice: "My daughter heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, brave, upright and filial, and is praised by the world..."
Hearing what Da Fu said, Fu Yanqing understood that his daughter obviously preferred Liu Chengyou. This is also a natural thing. Both the left and right are married. On one side is the son of Jiedu from a mere prefecture and town, and on the other is a dignified prince. He knows how to choose any woman, let alone a big talisman. Furthermore, they seemed to have little choice.
Fu Yanqing was not too surprised by his eldest daughter's performance. He had always known her to be ambitious, broad-minded, well-educated, and knowledgeable. They had never met each other before. Compared with the famous prince Liu Chengyou, who was famous all over the world, the penniless Li Chongxun was really incomparable and unattractive.
"The emperor would rather break the engagement and arouse criticism, but also choose you to match the prince. I guess the words of the sorcerer that day have reached his ears!" Fu Yanqing said in a guessing tone: "But now, it seems that Come on, my daughter really has that destiny!"
Hearing what Fu Yanqing said, Da Fu also reacted. He straightened his eyebrows and said, "Aren't Li Shouzhen and his son in the river very dangerous?"
"That's why, although we are a Fangzhen and control the place, we can't be unscrupulous. Now, the world is increasingly moving towards the direction of governance. After all, it is unwise to compete with the imperial court!" Fu Yanqing said inexplicably. Feeling.
"Over there in the river, my father has to take the initiative to issue a document to terminate the engagement. This person who broke the contract has to do it for his father. He can't do it. The emperor really wants to issue an edict..."
Fu Yanqing obviously had great trust in Da Fu, even more so than his sons, and he did not shy away from discussing with him any important matters. The father and daughter chatted, and time passed quickly. A little later, the servant came to report that the Crown Prince was visiting!
This surprised both father and daughter. They both came to the door in person. Is it so urgent?
Greeted in a hurry. Liu Chengyou brought a pair of jade stones as a betrothal gift for his marriage proposal, but when he proposed to marry the second wife of the Fu family, Fu Yanqing was stunned. His face was uncertain, and he had a vague anger that he was being teased.
However, next, Liu Chengyou went even further and asked to meet his future princess. These Liu family father and son are so unruly!
Then, Fu Yanqing belatedly realized that His Highness the Crown Prince actually wanted his sisters to inform him and his two daughters to imitate Ehuang Nüying.
However, if you think about it carefully, it seems feasible. Two daughters, double insurance!
The first meeting with Mrs. Da Fu was disappointing, otherwise this chapter would have been completely disappointing...
————————
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Liu Zhiyuan, who had been ill for a long time, appeared again and looked at the court. He showed a pretty good complexion in front of the ministers, but Liu Chengyou knew that his father had applied some powder, but the palace attendant who applied powder for him was very skilled, and ordinary people could not detect the difference with the naked eye.
Liu Zhiyuan looked at the court. In addition to accepting the worship of the ministers, he changed his royal name to Liu Hao. After all, the words "zhi" and "yuan" are too common among officials and people, and they need to be avoided. It is really disturbing to the people. Of course, if you change the name, maybe it will be transferred.
However, Liu Zhiyuan's body really couldn't bear it anymore. After only three days in office, he went to recuperate, and Liu Chengyou was once again in charge of the country.
Within three days of the old emperor's administration, he issued only one edict: deputy marching envoys and judges of the two envoys were not allowed to recommend. If the envoy is in charge of the Jiedushi, Xu Zuo will be in charge of the secretary, the envoy, and the Jiedushi will be promoted; if the envoy is not in charge of the Jiedushi, Xu Zuo will be in charge of the secretary, and the Jiedushi will be promoted. The defense regiment's training judges and military judges listened to the performance. The recommended prefecture and county magistrates include three envoys, ministers, and governors; two ministers without envoys; and one person for defense, regiment training, and governor.
This is an "official restriction order", which is due to the proliferation of officials in the world and the frequent use of indiscriminate weapons to make up for the number. The governors and military envoys of various states and states wantonly explore and promote personal interests.
Of course, this edict still only expresses the attitude of the court. It is clearly stated here. In the future, when the court frees up its energy, it can be used to eliminate those officials who do not comply with the procedures and have not been approved by the court. The premise is that the Han Dynasty court must have that strength. Basically, it will be Liu Chengyou's turn to have a headache in the future.
"Your Highness, these people?" In the political hall, Prime Minister Li Tao looked at the list given to him by Liu Chengyou with hesitation in his eyes.
The two regions of the Central Plains were areas, prefectures and counties under the direct control of the imperial court. They still lacked many actual officials, and the imperial court intended to promote the vacancies. But how could he find so many people at once? Liu Chengyou intended to open a scientific examination, but it couldn't be done overnight. Therefore, in a short period of time, he could only promote internally, and each minister recommended some candidates.
For this kind of opportunity, Liu Chengyou had to put in some people...
"My lord, the above officials can be inspected, promoted and appointed according to their talents!" Liu Chengyou said calmly.
"yes!"
These people provided by Liu Chengyou were the "white list" recorded in the notebook for more than a year. From Hedong to Luzhou, then to Chengde, to Tokyo and Yedu, there are only about twenty people. They may not have much talent in the world, but they can do things. In today's world, there are only talents who can do things in a down-to-earth manner.
"Your Highness, there is news from Guanzhong!" Guo Wei came to report in person.
"Speak!" Liu Chengyou was in great spirits. Since the beginning of the new year, he has been basically focusing on the situation in Guanzhong.
"Shu General Li Tinggui led his army to attack Ziwu Town and wanted to attack Chang'an. Wang Jun personally led the cavalry to surround him. Together with the Jinchang Army Jiedu Zhao Kuangzan, they attacked from both sides and defeated the Shu army. More than two thousand people were killed. The Shu army was defeated at Ziwu Road!" Guo Wei! The report said: "The two Shu armies in Longzhou and Sanguan held back their troops after hearing the news of their defeat. Fengxiang Jiedu Hou Yi reported that they closed the wall to resist the Shu troops. They were afraid that they would be short of troops, so they asked the court for support!"
"This is the most encouraging news I have heard this year!" Liu Chengyou's expression could not be tense, and he was rarely happy.
"Fan Zhi!"
"Please give me your orders, Your Highness!" Fan Zhi, who had been transferred to the Political Affairs Hall by Liu Chengyou, responded immediately.
"Draft an edict of commendation and send it to Guanzhong!"
"yes!"
Facts have proved that sending Wang Jun to lead the army west was indeed the right person. This person really has a lot of skills. After defeating Li Tinggui in Ziwu Town, he responded to Hou Yizhi's "invitation" and quickly led the army westward, reaching Fengxiang and settling in Chencang.
From the moment the Imperial Army entered Chencang, the situation in Guanzhong, which was originally precarious, suddenly stabilized. Although the Shu army is still unwilling to retreat, it is no longer as dangerous as before. The combat effectiveness of the Shu army is really hard to scare the powerful soldiers of the Central Plains...
The situation in Guanzhong improved, but here in Tokyo, Liu Zhiyuan's illness showed signs of worsening, and he even fainted due to occasional cold winds.
On the 20th, Liu Zhiyuan issued an edict to confer marriage and confer the title of Crown Princess on the eldest daughter of Taining Army Jiedushi, Grand Master of the School, Shizhong, and Duke of Qi Fu Yanqing.
It can be regarded as a happy occasion for the prince to accept the concubine.
