On September 26, the eighth year of the Xuanli calendar, the first day of the autumn festival of Dayu, the autumn rain continued.

Fu Xiaoguan didn't go out today, and the disaster relief strategy would not have results until after the autumn season, and he was unfamiliar in Beijing, and he couldn't meet Dong Shulan during the day, so he simply meditated and continued to practice the Jiuyang Heart Sutra.

It didn't take long to sit down, and Chunxiu came to report, and the second son of the Dong family came again.

Fu Xiaoguan thought about it, got up and welcomed Dong Xiude in.

Chunxiu made two pots of tea and retreated behind Fu Xiaoguan, Fu Xiaoguan looked at Dong Xiude and asked, "Isn't it Qiu Qiu today?" ”

"I didn't go, I couldn't pass the exam anyway."

This kid is a bachelor, "Aren't you worried that your father will beat you?" ”

Chatting with Shulan last night, he roughly knew the situation of the Dong Mansion.

"I'm used to being beaten...... Do you think these parents are also stupid? I have been beaten by them since I was a child, and they didn't realize that beating me couldn't solve the problem at all, and they didn't even think about trying other methods! ”

Fu Xiaoguan was happy and asked, "Then tell me what else you can do?" ”

"For example...... Give me some money, and I might be able to learn a little more. ”

This is the end of the calf, and it is a complete wealth obsession.

Maybe it was because it was still early and rainy outside, Fu Ergongzi didn't say that he would take Fu Xiaoguan out for a walk, and the two sat here drinking tea and chatting, but they enhanced their relationship a lot.

Fu Xiaoguan has gradually mellowed, and he also has a common language in the face of Fu Ergongzi's gentleness, and Fu Ergongzi is angry about seeing each other.

Later, under the deliberate guidance of Fu Xiaoguan, he talked about the power of Shangjing.

"This is the six major gates of Beijing, now the first one must be the Yan family, Yan Yunchuan is a generation of celebrities who created the Taihe prosperous era, his son Yan Beixi, that is, the prime minister of the dynasty, although it is not as good as Yan Yunchuan, but it still sounds very powerful. As for the third generation of the Yan family, Yan Shidao, this person started from the county order and climbed to the position of the privy envoy of the Privy Council level by level, although it is inseparable from the full support of the Yan family, but this person must also have his strength. The so-called one door and three phases means that this Yan Shidao will also worship the prime minister. As for the fourth generation of the Yan family, the most talented one is Yan Xiwen, but I am not optimistic about Yan Xiwen. ”

Fu Xiaoguan was a little curious and asked, "Why?" ”

"Don't they all say that they are rich for three generations, he is the fourth generation! What's more, he can't even figure it out to you, where is it possible to get on the phase again? ”

What do you say...... Fu Xiaoguan smiled dumbly, speechless.

"There is a lot of controversy about the second gate valve in Beijing, some people think it is the Shi family, and some people think it is the Fei family. If it is in my opinion, it should be the Shi family, because the Shi family's business is very big, let me tell you, in addition to the desolate, the Shi family's rouge gouache brocade silk is exported to the Fan Guo Yi and Wu Dynasty, if the Shi family is rich and rivals the country, this is really not an exaggeration. What's more, Shi Chaoyuan, the current head of the Shi family, is still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, a person with exquisite faces. ”

"What about this Fei family, Mrs. Fei is still alive, don't underestimate this old guy, he is a real veteran of the Three Dynasties, a minister who cares about his life! It is said that even the prestige of the court back then was suppressed by the prime minister Yan Beixi, so you can imagine how powerful this old guy is. This old lady Fei has four sons, the eldest son Fei An, fifty years old, used to be the general of the southern border army, but now he has retired and farmed in Nanling County outside the capital city. ”

"What? Farming? Fu Xiaoguan asked in surprise, the dignified general farming? This guy is quite interesting.

"Yes, he planted ten acres of land by himself, and it is said that he lived a pastoral life, which was quite comfortable."

Fu Xiaoguan nodded, Dong Xiude took a sip of tea, and said: "Fei Bang, the second son of Mrs. Fei, is forty-five years old, and he is the secretary of the military department. Fei Ding, the third son of Mrs. Fei, is forty-two years old, and is a doctor of the imperial officials of the imperial court, don't look at it as a third-grade official, but people have the right to supervise hundreds of officials! ”

Then, Dong Xiude roughly talked about the Xue family, the Xi family and the Qin family, which were the six major gates in Shangjing.

These gate valves have their own uniqueness, such as the Xue family has the largest shipping business in the world, has its own shipyard, dock and dock, and so on.

The Xi family has the best three pastures of the Yu Dynasty, and almost all the war horses of the Yu Dynasty are provided by the Xi family, and the Xi family also has many excellent cavalry generals in the four border armies of Dayu, the best of which is Xi Changge, who was born in a partial house, is thirty-five years old, and is already the commander of the cavalry of the Western Frontier Army, and it is only a matter of time before he wants to take charge of the Western Frontier Army.

What Fu Xiaoguan didn't expect was the Qin family, the Qin family where Qin Bingzhong was located.

Qin Bingzhong is not the head of the family, the head of the Qin family is Qin Bingzhong's younger brother Qin Yuheng. Qin Yuheng's son Qin Huizhi is now the governor of the political affairs hall, according to Dong Xiude, this person is extremely low-key, but there are faint signs of worship, but Dong Xiude does not think that Qin Huizhi can win the Yan Shidao, because the Yan family is more powerful.

Listening to Dong Xiude talk about this, Qin Bingzhong and Qin Yuheng have different opinions on the line of family development, and the two brothers have been separated for many years. In particular, an incident occurred in the first year of Xuanli that caused Qin Bingzhong to go south to Linjiang and rarely returned to Shangjing.

In the first year of Xuanli, there was friction between Dayu and Yiguo on the border, and Qin Bingzhong's eldest grandson, Qin Tong, was a lieutenant in the light cavalry regiment of the Eastern Frontier Army at this time. Qin Tong ordered the commander to go out on the expedition, and the Yiguo Red Feather Legion encountered, the two sides fought in Ximayuan, our army was defeated, Qin Tong died in battle, this is the death of Ximayuan in modern history.

Qin Bingzhong closed his door for three days after learning the news of Qin Tong's death, and then went to Linjiang, and had no contact with Qin Yuheng, the Qin family in Shangjing has actually been divided into two, of course, Qin Bingzhong's vein has no power, the so-called Qin family in Shangjing generally refers to Qin Yuheng's lineage.

"Old Qin, what do you say? He was a great Confucian in the current dynasty and was once a member of the imperial court, but once this person was stained with a Confucian character, he was inevitably a little pedantic, always thinking about using the sage book to educate others, but he was educated by others, why bother? Why bother? ”

Dong Xiude shook his head, because Qin Lao was not worthless, he spread his hands, and said: "You go and tell the wolf to let it eat grass and not meat, this, this, isn't it ridiculous?" ”

"Is there something hidden in this?"

"How do I know what was really going on? However, when I was eating and drinking, I heard some gossip, the commander of the Eastern Frontier Army at that time was Fei Bang, and Qin Tong's order to go out was said to have been given by Fei Bang, but Fei Bang did not tell Qin Tong that he was going to face the most powerful Red Feather Army in Yi Country! Qin Tong only has 1,000 light cavalry, and there are 10,000 Hongling troops! And now that I think about it, it seems to be a game, Qin Tong's scouts didn't find the enemy, but a guy was made dumplings. In the spring of the third year of Xuanli, Fei Bang was transferred to the military department, and he was replaced by Yan Haochu, the third son of Yan Beixi. ”

"Hehe, what a civilian official has become the generalissimo of the Eastern Frontier Army!"

Dong Xiude stood up, "Don't talk nonsense about these things, seeing that it's noon, go to the Sifang Building?" ”
