"The subordinate understood. In addition, some men and women who have been proficient in their own skills have recently been taught by me will secretly enter Beijing, and they have asked His Highness for instructions on how to go, and His Highness said that he will hand it over to you for arrangement, and then submit it. These people have all been cultivated since childhood, and now entering Beijing is also a big help, he handed a piece of paper to Fu Chen, "The name written here is the person who belongs to him, you can trust it." ”

Fu Chen didn't have anything strange about it, if Shu Yu didn't have this ambition to cultivate his own person, he wouldn't have taken a fancy to this person in the first place.

Taking the paper, with some names written on it, Fu Chen glanced at it and put it in his sleeve.

"I'll go see in a few days, how is your hand injury?" Pointing to the hand that Shuyu was shrinking in his clothes and bandaging, ten fingers connected to his heart, as a famous Yanyi in the capital, his fingers were injured, almost cutting off his way, but fortunately, now Xin Yi is no longer there, and there is no need to serve anyone.

"It's no big deal, Mr. Lao is worried. Suyu was a little nervous and covered the wound with her sleeve.

"Who did it?"

"Childe," Shuyu looked at Fu Chen, and suddenly lowered his head, "Please take care of yourself, but if you have an accident in the capital, you can come to Zhenguo, and your subordinates will protect you." ”

"There is no such thing as a safe place. "It's the same everywhere, as long as you want to control your destiny, you have to fight for your life.

"Childe!"

"Well, I have my own plans, so I don't need to say more. ”

This is about the last time Shuyu will see each other before leaving, and they don't know when they will see each other, and they are both moving towards their goals.

Fu Chen came to the courtyard of Shao Huachi in Dongyu Lane, and it was already a little late when he went to see Shao Huachi.

"Have you seen all three of them?"

"Yes, one of them is afraid that he will die soon. "I'm talking about a patient from the west.

"After welcoming the Jin army, I will look for an opportunity to sue my father, but I am worried that someone will make a fuss about this. ”

With the loneliness of the two princes' faction, now the court can be said to be the eldest prince and the nine princes fighting each other, but the two princes seem to have died down.

It's just that it's low-key, but it has a hint of unusual flavor.

While Fu Chen was pondering, Shao Huachi gave a small package, Fu Chen didn't know what it was, and after opening it, there was no more words.

It is full of some of the only remaining things of the peasant family, such as the Fu family saved a year to exchange a little grain for a little cloth, estimated that Fu Chen's tall figure made a dress, and the second brother and third sister weaved straw small things themselves, a tuft of hair in a small cloth bag, tied with red rope.

"That's your youngest sister, I don't have anything for you, cut my hair and let Zhu Liangpeng bring it back, Zhu Liangpeng said that the girl's charm is a little similar to you, the first little radish. Shao Huachi explained.

Fu Chen remembered that before he left, his sister was still in his mother's belly, stroking these objects, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

Shao Huachi didn't bother him either, such a Fu Chen was full of warmth.

After putting down the package, Fu Chen suddenly stood up and bowed to Shao Huachi.

"What are you doing, get up!" Shao Huachi stood up.

Fu Chen kowtowed, and his voice vibrated to the ground: "Your Highness Xie, help the slave's family get through the difficulties." Slaves have nothing to repay, only to repay with a useful body. ”

Fu Chen's words went into the corners of his body, and he was not so close to Fu Chen's heart once.

Shao Huachi never really laughed, at least never without any mockery, he was just simply happy, since he was born, he didn't know how to express his excitement tonight.

He had a high force value, so he helped Fu Chen up, took a step back, and bent down to salute.

"In the future, I hope that Mr. will give me more advice. This is the first time he has called Fu Chen like this.

It's been some time since I saw His Royal Highness the Nine outside the Imperial Study.

Fu Chen is currently serving Shao Ziyu, the ninth prince, in the eleven Yanjiu Courtyards in Longyu East.

There are curtains hanging all over the courtyard, and when the wind blows, the fragrance of osmanthus flowers outside the courtyard floats with the wind, which is refreshing.

This is also an errand that Fu Chen promised outside the door of the imperial study, he is eating those meals at the moment, trying them one by one, Shao Ziyu is not an extravagant person, there are not many dishes, but he does not have a small kitchen, and the meals are sent from the dining room, so he needs to serve the meal.

There is a teapot and tea set on the table, a cinnamon plant is inserted in a porcelain bottle, there are fewer attendants to and fro, it is very quiet, not like it is in the palace, but like its own small courtyard, and the calligraphy and painting on the wall of "pure and inaction" seems to show the mentality of this master.

Shao Ziyu looked at Fu Chen's calm face, and saw that he was unhurried, every movement seemed to be planned, unconventional, and full of respect for the people above, it is indeed pleasing to the eye everywhere, such people are like air, and they should be indispensable to look at.

Seventh Brother has such a talent under him, no wonder he is baby, he doesn't want to rob such a person, let Fu Chen come to serve is just a gesture, tell Shao Huachi, your sincerity is really not enough.

Henchmen are a delicate matter, especially between princes. In the past, Shao Huachi had no value to win over, so naturally no one was fighting for it, but as he became more and more valued in front of the emperor, the second prince's henchmen were dying down, and the boss was now full of strength to grab the seventh with him.

This is also the reason why Shao Ziyu is eager to win over, he is now because of the previous sweep of the officials related to Shen Xiao in the imperial court, this matter is staring at the criminal department, he can't do anything big, he can be regarded as offending a lot of people, plus the person who was pulled off the horse by the second child before, he is now lacking a right-hand man.

Fu Chen's initiative to take on the errand at this time can be regarded as fueling the 79 Alliance.

After the tasting was completed and all the dishes were confirmed to be non-toxic, Fu Chen began to cook dishes for Shao Ziyu.

The clamping is actually something that he doesn't hate, "Who did you ask about the taste of coming to the main hall?"

"His Royal Highness loves to drink tea, his writing is brilliant, the name of Yashi is well known in the Jin Dynasty, and it is a very healthy way, even the Queen Mother has praised it more, and I can't touch those fishy and greasy things. After Fu Chen finished speaking, he said, "The slave thinks about it without permission, and I hope His Highness will forgive me." ”

"What a tricky minion, you said so, I can still blame you, continue to cook. Shao Ziyu smiled, not like angry. Who wouldn't like to be able to serve their minions so attentively.

His preferences are well known, and this is what he wants to express.

When the cloth was finished, all the servants withdrew.

Fu Chen began to make tea for Shao Ziyu, and his movements were smooth, and he looked at it.

"What does Brother Seven have to say to you?"

"Your Highness said that you can observe the people of the second prince's henchmen in the DPRK and China in the near future, and you may be able to find something. ”

"Second brother, he has long been grounded, and what else can he set off. "Of course, it is not excluded that people do something.

"Presumably, His Royal Highness the Great Prince is more anxious than Your Highness. "Don't let the second prince turn over, isn't His Highness the most anxious?

Shao Ziyu bowed his head, indeed, if he could find out something and reveal it to the boss, he would be able to take himself out, and they would fight for him in order to facilitate him.

"It's just that Brother Seven's heart is indeed elusive. This is a temptation.

Test Shao Huachi's sincerity.

What can the Seven Princes give to the Nine Emperors, there is no one in the Shaohuachi Imperial Court, there is no reliable power among the people, what is there to win over the Nine Emperors.

The rest is the emperor's favor, but after all, there are too few chips.

Fu Chen knew that he should reveal some foundations, otherwise he might not be able to win the trust.

"Actually, it is not difficult for His Highness to be sincere. The slave knows some little secrets of His Royal Highness the Seventh, and has a shallow idea, I don't know if I can say it?" Fu Chen brought the brewed tea to Shao Ziyu, knelt on the ground and said softly.

Since sending off the two defeated missions, the palace has been calm for a while, and the Queen Mother's illness has become more and more good, showing a peaceful state.

Next, welcoming the Jin army is the top priority.

With the four princes' A Furong, the queen mother and the emperor welcomed the victorious return army as scheduled.

This time the battle with Qiangwu can be described as a disastrous victory, and then the exchange of protons in exchange for a short period of peace, but even a tragic victory is a victory for the Jin State, so it is also widely publicized and inspired, and the capital has a grand welcoming ceremony.

It's just the situation of the Queen Mother, but it is a thorn in the emperor's heart, and Sang Guo, this account will definitely not be settled so lightly.

This matter was supervised by the eldest prince, which was unanimously recognized by both inside and outside the court, which also further enhanced his prestige.

But this is not the end of this expedition to the west, everyone forgets, in addition to those able-bodied soldiers, there is also a group of people who have been forgotten in the corner. The wounded army was not the main army that officially returned to Luanjing, they arrived after the welcoming ceremony, and they did not go to the same place as the large army.

The wounded army is the team of soldiers and generals who have been wounded on the battlefield, or disabled or unable to move, all the glamorous rewards will not be given to them, and they are only left with some pensions and military orders to send back to their hometowns.

The people of the Jin Kingdom have become numb to this, which is the sequelae of the war under the system.

But is it really numb?

The people's desire and the people's prosperity and happiness are the signs of a country's strength.

And this welcomes the wounded army, the princes are often sent by the emperor to do some façade work, which is also the most evasive for the princes, who wants to see so many missing arms and legs, especially in the past few years, there have been people gathered to resist the army, and the court soldiers clashed, countless dead and wounded, and the grievances have been accumulated for a long time.

In previous years, this was like a juju, kicked around, and no one took over.

This time, this juju fell on the head of the Seven Princes, and there were many people who watched the show.

Three years ago, it was the second prince who went to appease, he also did not do a very kind job, not only withheld the pension given by the court, but also drove away this group of people without even letting the doctor summoned by the people go to heal, there was nothing to do with Shao Huayang, this kind of greeting The second prince just went through the motions, but he felt fresh and ran down, a wounded soldier limped over and asked him for a little food, they were too tired to walk back this way, the court did not let the wounded army enter the city, if it was not for that little pension to go home to support their families, they couldn't hold on to this at all, but unexpectedly the second prince suspected that the person had blood on his body, stained his clothes, and pushed it away with great displeasureUnexpectedly, the man was dizzy with hunger, so he fell down with such a push, just hit his head on the ground, and was knocked on the ground by the stone on the ground and died on the spot. You said that our husbands/fathers/brothers/sons were requisitioned for the sake of the court and the country, and now some of them are dead and some are injured, and you are going to drive us away if you don't give us the slightest way to live, and you also shot and killed the generals who came back from the war, how can we live?

So this group of people attacked the second prince and a group of people defenselessly, with no eyes on their fists and feet, and there were many injuries.

Hearing that the second prince was injured by mistake, Emperor Cheng of Jin was furious, and punished those people who gathered to fight and injured the royal family, and those who did not participate were doubled in compensation, and gave a relatively relaxed tax policy, which can be regarded as a certain Cheng dù calmed down the people's anger, but the others were omitted.

This is not a pleasant task.

This year, too, Shao Huachi and Fu Chen stood on the city wall at the west entrance of the city gate in armor and battle suits, looking out at the past.

Watching a group of centaurs slowly approach here under the setting sun, their speed was slow.

Under the city wall, there are faintly looking forward to the old and weak women and children, as well as the children waiting for their father and grandfather to return, and the expectation in their eyes is too easy to move people.

"Your Highness, the wounded army has arrived. ”

"yes. Shao Huachi's eyes always looked at the wounded army returning from afar, the banner of the Jin Kingdom fluttering above, and the halo of the setting sun dyed in his brown eyes, bright and moving, "Fu Chen, do you say they have a grudge in their hearts?"

Yes, how could there be none.

It's just that they don't dare, they have to numb themselves.

"Most of the people are simple, their wishes are simple, they just want to live, and if they are not given a way to live, they will fight hard. ”

"They fought for the Jin Kingdom and deserved to be treated like this. "The wounded army is also the army. He thought of Zhu Liangpeng's return to describe the form of the west, as well as the situation of Fu Chen's family, if Fu Chen was still in that home, he would also be conscripted, and he would go to war like this, waiting for his hopeless return.

Shao Huachi felt his heart shrink suddenly, and suddenly seemed to understand the thoughts and feelings of these family members under the wall.

"Go and prepare hot porridge and tents, and then gather all the doctors in the capital, and the account will go to me, and I will pay double the silver. Shao Huachi instructed the generals behind him to come together to greet the wounded army with E Hongfeng today.

At this time, the general who obeyed the orders in the back was called Liangce, that is, the little soldier who had met Fu Chen in the Di Execution Office for the detention of Qi Guifei, and now he was mixed up under E Hongfeng, and he had risen by two positions compared to the original.

"But, that's not in order. "I have never been treated like this when I was dealing with a wounded soldier, and it would be good if I asked if I was guilty.

"The rules are set by people, since I am the supreme general this time, then what you have to do is to listen to the order, do it as I say, do it immediately, quickly!" Shao Huachi said sharply, and Liangce immediately took the order to supervise it.

Fu Chen looked at Shao Huachi, as if he didn't know this man, originally he mentioned this errand to Shao Huachi, and he didn't think that Shao Huachi, who lived in the inner court environment all the year round, would experience the people, but just wanted to use this matter to add some chips for him to have a political show.

But what did he mean by a monarch who only weighed the pros and cons, and if he treated him sincerely, the people would repay you, Your Highness.

"Do you also think I did something wrong?" Seeing that Fu Chen was silent, Shao Huachi asked.

Fu Chen shook his head, slowly, a smile appeared, a monarch who is willing to really think about the people is a person worthy of loyalty.

"Your Highness, just do what you want. ”
