Chapter Eighty-Five: A Brilliant Pair

At that end, Fu Xuan's carriage followed his father Xie An's carriage and drove away from Wuyi Lane. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two dark-curtained carriages make an ethereal sound on the bluestone bricks in the dead of night, while the jewels on the roof always reflect the light of the lanterns on the front of the car, highlighting the nobility of the people in the car. The carriage drove all the way fast and finally stopped outside the palace gate, which was late at night, and only one side of the door was opened for the emperor's favored courtiers to enter in an emergency.

For Fu Xuan's talent and ability, the emperor has heard of it before, and he appreciated it at the appreciation meeting of the Nanling Palace, this time there was good news from the north, and the emperor Sima Yi also recruited him into the palace to discuss follow-up countermeasures, although for the overall political pattern, it is only a small change, but it is undoubtedly a step with a profound impact on the tense relationship between the family faction and the princely faction.

It is said that he entered the palace to discuss the war situation, but all the courtiers who came knew that the emperor was just taking the opportunity of the victory in the first battle to boost the morale of the courtiers, consolidate his own majesty, and then listen to the suggestions of the ministers to make future war decisions, as for the emperor himself, he did not care about the war, and only hoped to send the distant generals to calm the chaos as soon as possible and return him a peaceful world, so that he could continue to sit back and relax and live those extravagant and relaxed days.

As soon as Fu Xuan entered the Taiji Hall with Xie An, the courtiers saw this colleague who was different from the white-bearded slight frost, and unconsciously made way for him, facing the newly arrived favored ministers, the courtiers were no strangers, but this time, they suddenly grew from their sons and nephews to peers who discussed with them, and the respect was needless to say, and the family faction was more happy, but the princely faction was inevitably a little jealous.

When he was young, the emperor came into the palace from the service of Zhao Zhongguan, walking briskly, and the joy of winning the battle was completely filled with the emperor's dragon face, and even the candle flame in the hall was particularly bright, illuminating the rui beast ornaments on the dragon case.

"I'm so happy today, so I can't wait to invite you all to share with me!" the emperor laughed, his slender eyebrows squeezed together.

"The emperor is blessed with Qitian, and I will win the battle!" the ministers shouted.

The emperor said: "I especially want to recruit you during the third watch of that day, and I am also in this Taiji Palace, the night is still cold, and the border has just lost the city.

"The emperor is wise. ”

"The success or failure of this battle is of great significance, and it has strengthened the spirit of Xianbei and Barbarian!"

The courtiers sang the praises of the emperor's wise merits and saving the dawn and so on, and the emperor accepted it with all pleasure, paused and asked: "Which generals are coming in this battle?"

"Back to the emperor, it is General Li under Wang Da Sima, General Yi Sun of Nanling Wang, General Zhang of the Ling'an Army, and Wang Suzhi, the son of Wang Da Sima. ”

"I remember!" the emperor patted his hips and said, "Whether General Wang Xiao will go or not that day, you have been arguing for a while, so it seems that General Wang Xiao is also quite capable!"

The courtiers of the family faction hurriedly said: "What the emperor said is extremely true! The three generals Li, Zhang, and Sun have always conquered the battlefield, and the merits are needless to say, and Wang Suzhi bravely killed 5,000 enemies in this battle, retreated 3,000 enemies, cut off generals and horses, and captured a second-class general of Xianbei, and his brave deeds are no less than those of the three generals!"

The emperor also nodded approvingly, his eyes shone brightly, and he looked around again, shouting: "Where is Xie Fuxuan? I obviously called him too!"

Fu Xuan acted modestly and low-key, and when it came to official positions, he was naturally waiting at the back of the crowd, so the emperor asked, so he walked out of the crowd and said, "Back to the emperor, Fu Xuan is here." ”

"Come, help Xuan to sit beside me. ”

When the ministers heard this, they were dumbfounded and looked at each other, Sima Xi couldn't bear it, and said majestically: "The emperor is close to the ninety-five, and the pride of the sky, so call a Sushi to sit together, isn't this in line with the rules?"

"I'm happy today, why do I want to disappoint your fun!" the emperor said, "I like Xie Fuxuan, why do I need the permission of the emperor's uncle?"

"Yes...... Today, the emperor convened late at night, not for the barbarian war? What does it have to do with that Gongzi Xie?"

"Xie Fuxuan and Wang Suzhi share the reputation of 'Fusu Gongzi' in Jianye, I think of Fuxuan when I talk about Su Zhi's merits, what's the matter, isn't it?" The emperor said, "This time the generals have made meritorious contributions, I want to come, recruit Fuxuan to come and wave a word with me, praising the achievements of the generals in this war!"

The courtiers suddenly realized that the emperor's urgent call tonight to discuss the war was just a pretense, and the words praising the generals' achievements were just a cover, but in fact, they wanted to ask Xie Fuxuan to come to play with the words. They only said that the emperor was stubborn, but they didn't want to be stubborn to the point of doing whatever they wanted, the Taiji Hall has always been the place where the emperors of the past dynasties discussed the court, all the decoration is very solemn, and now the emperor is called to entertain, but the matter has come to this, but it has to be by the emperor's temperament, only waiting for His Royal Highness's interest.

The emperor was very pleased, so he simply stepped off the dragon throne, grabbed Fu Xuan's shoulder, and said: "I have talents such as Xie Fuxuan and Wang Suzhi, one article and one martial arts, and the two are shining, just like Xie An and Wang Dao assisted the first emperor back then, the Quartet is peaceful, and the Qingming Dynasty is prosperous, just around the corner!"

"It's just that the first battle was won, Gu Youyun, 'born in sorrow and died in peace', the old minister was afraid that Wang Xie Erjia would be complacent and arrogant because of the victory in the war, and the enemy would be caught off guard in the coming day. It's too early for Gongzi Xie to be a little proud!" I saw Huan all shouting from the side, as a seventh-grade petty official, he had no right to participate in this meeting, but in the end, the words were a lot for him, and the emperor also treated him the same as Fuxuan, and made an exception to invite him to come with him, but he was arrogant, and he was already unaccustomed to seeing the emperor's general Xie Fuxuan so high, and after enduring it for a long time, he couldn't help but touch the emperor's scales.

"Fu Xuan is not proud, why does Huan Xian Ma say this?" Fu Xuan replied calmly and indifferently.

"If there is, it will be changed, and if there is none, it will be encouraged. The minister only said that it would be inappropriate to praise General Wang Xiao at this moment. When Huan Du said this, he didn't realize that the emperor's face was already pale, and Sima Xi even glanced at Huan, but he was completely immersed in the chatter, and he didn't look at it.

Fu Xuan replied: "The matter of marching, if you do not praise the meritorious ministers, it will only greatly reduce the morale of the army, and when you go to the battlefield, no one dares to sacrifice your life for the country. ”

"Sacrificing one's life for the country is 'loyalty,' not 'profit'! If a soldier fights for the country and also gives a bounty for that medie, what is the difference between it and a bandit offering a bounty?"

"Huan Xian Ma!" the emperor shouted, "In the past, Xie Qing and Wang Qing always argued with the emperor's uncle here, but now it's good, a junior has come to quarrel, and my ears have also told you to wait for the noise! If you really have that ability, you can lead the troops to fight!"

The emperor's sentence only blocked Huan Jun's teeth and was speechless, Sima Xi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Huan Xian Ma has always been so outspoken, he doesn't know flattery, I hope the emperor will forgive his sins!"

"That's it, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't worry about you. ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. ”

Fu Xuan said: "The reason is not clear, but the more you argue, the clearer it becomes, please forgive the emperor for the crime and Fu Xuan was rash before Fu Xuan." ”

"Alright. The emperor laughed and shouted in the hall again, "Lieutenant Zhao, what are you doing there, hurry up and wait with Gongzi Xie!"
