There was still a while before the luncheon, and in the peaceful Jinxiang Palace, the family first gathered together to talk, and gradually seemed to become more casual, so it was divided into three places. Mrs. Xiang, Fu Liu and the second sister are teasing the children and talking about family life together; Guo Shao and Fu Zhaoxu went to the study outside the door to talk. King Wei and his eldest daughter Fu Jinzhan were talking on the two collapses near the door, and their voices were not loud, and their voices were even more inaudible in the laughter of the children over there.

Fu Yanqing looked sideways, and Marigold also glanced at him, and when he looked out of the open palace door, he could see Guo Shao's side face. Guo Shao was sitting on the top of the study and saying something, and Fu Zhaoxu on the opposite side only had a back, his ass was stained a little on the bench, and he was sitting very respectfully. Under normal circumstances, when people speak to themselves, they are very tender to hear words from other places, not to mention the distance from them.

Sure enough, Fu Yanqing's expression changed slightly, and he said earnestly: "For my father's children, you are the most knowledgeable and the most angry." ”

Fu Jinzhan felt that something was not right when she heard this, but she listened calmly with a very calm face.

Fu Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "The Fu family is a relative of the royal family. Jinshang is the nephew of Taizu, and the first emperor (Chai Rong, the adopted son is also nominally the same as his son) is Jinshang's cousin; You are the first emperor, and you are the brother and sister-in-law of today, and you are your uncle today......"

Marigold had fully understood what her father meant by this time, and her heart felt like knocking down the five-flavor bottle for a while, but she tried to pretend that nothing happened. Since my father mentioned it, there must be some speculation, and if it is shown on his face, it is impossible to say.

However, Fu Yanqing observed Marigold's face, as if thinking that she didn't understand, and continued: "You used to be the queen of the world, and now you are honored as Queen Duanci, both in front of you and behind you. Besides, the second sister is now the queen and gave birth to the eldest son, what do we lack? ”

When Marigold heard this, her face was hot for a while, and her expression could be restrained, but some of the reactions in her heart were difficult to control, and in the face of etiquette and virtue, a strong sense of guilt and shame came to her heart. Marigold has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, how can he not understand etiquette, and he has been influenced by this for a long time, and most of them agree with the nobility of those things.

In the sound of her heart, she had all sorts of secret details flashing through her mind, her fingers digging into the man's bun, the tactile feeling of her fingers touching her beard, the wet and slippery sweat on her bulging muscles, and all kinds of touches and sensations.

Her face was getting hotter and hotter, and her brain was a little dizzy. But I still know very well the meaning of my father's words: to say that she respects her is to persuade her not to lose her morality, which will disgrace the Fu family; Talking about the second sister means that there is no need for her to continue to bear the responsibility of marriage. Today, Marigold saw the growing up Fu Liu, and she also knew in her heart that the royal family wanted to marry the Fu family, and there was more than one choice.

Marigold has mixed feelings, and there is a faint sense of loss that has lost its value and has been abandoned. She glanced at Guo Shao outside the door. found that Guo Shao was talking and looking over.

He usually pays attention to the etiquette and behavior of Marigold, but Marigold can find that as long as he is there, Guo Shao's attention is always on himself, and it has never changed in a few years......

"Are you ......" Fu Yanqing looked at Marigold. His hair was mostly gray, and he didn't seem to be able to lead soldiers anymore, but he was still in good spirits.

Marigold straightened up and said, "I can't even talk about that kind of thing." ”

Fu Yanqing hurriedly said: "I shouldn't say it for my father, I just sigh that your mother has passed away, and my aunt doesn't dare to take care of it." You understand that it's good to work hard for your father. ”

Marigold didn't dare to look at Guo Shao anymore, but just observed what he was doing in the afterglow.

…… Guo Shao is not as entangled as Marigold, and he even feels that there is nothing wrong with this matter itself. He and Guo Wei are not related by blood, not to mention that Chai Rong is Guo Wei's adopted son; This kind of thing didn't dare to be blatant for a while, but it was a little contrary to the etiquette of the time, not that he felt it was wrong.

He was talking about military affairs with Fu Zhaoxu seriously: "In this battle, Zhaoxu will have about 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, 20,000 in the left wing of the Longjie army, and about 30,000 in the Gande army (Huainan soldiers). The imperial court does not want you to use 50,000 people to destroy the Northern Han Kingdom, but has three purposes: first, to further encroach on the territory of the Northern Han Kingdom and consume its military strength and national strength; secondly, if the Liao army comes to help, it can make it tired of running, anyway, the Liao army's way to help is far greater than our offensive line; In addition, it can also retaliate against the Liao army's move to harass Hebei. ”

Fu Zhaoxu said: "The last general is sincerely afraid, and he will do his best to complete His Majesty's strategy." ”

Guo Shao remembered that the situation in Luzhou was critical, and Fu Zhaoxu had the courage to enter the tiger's mouth single-handedly, and felt that although this person was kind and kind, he was still a courageous person, and what he lacked was nothing more than the experience of the war. At the moment, he said: "General Fu is a military general who has led soldiers, so you don't have to worry, as long as you understand the way to advance and retreat." The Long Jie Army and the Gan German Army both belonged to the guard Ma Bu Division, and there was a complete set of herald system, and the Privy Council would also send officials to form the front camp military government, and the marching and formation were all in order, and those who dared to disobey the military orders were well documented.

After entering the Northern Han Kingdom, you may encounter a field battle of the Northern Han army, so you don't have to be afraid of it. According to the Privy Council's estimates, there are at most 20,000 or 30,000 people left in the elite of the Northern Han army, and they dare not send all of them, and they are not the opponents of the Longjie army. General Fu didn't have to be in a hurry, he fought a decisive battle head-on, and then approached the city of Jinyang; When the Liao army came to help, they retreated to Liaozhou to watch, and the Liao army did not dare to attack the heavily garrisoned city. ”

Fu Zhaoxu asked again: "If the Northern Han army retreats to the city, can it plunder the surroundings?" ”

The result that Guo Shao wanted to see the most was that the population of the Northern Han Kingdom was forcibly relocated to the Central Plains, which would fundamentally weaken the national strength of the Northern Han Dynasty; But let the warriors carry it out, burning, killing and looting may not be easy to control.

Guo Shao was a little hesitant, he pondered for a moment, looked at Fu Zhaoxu and said: "We are fighting in the south and the north, for the sake of peace in the world and the people living and working in peace and contentment. ”

Fu Zhaoxu clasped his fists and said: "The last general will obey His Majesty's will." ”

When it was time for the noon feast, everyone stopped talking about business.

Fu Zhaoxu did not stay in Tokyo for long, and left Beijing the next day to prepare for military affairs. Guo Shao was also discussing with the minister about the preparations for the Northern Han Dynasty, including sending Fu Zhaoxu to attack and harass was also one of the preliminary preparations. In this war, Guo Shao felt that it was more troublesome than the previous two civil wars, not only because the Northern Han State was more difficult to fight, but also because there was mainly the Liao State to help.

After Guo Shao and Fu Zhaoxu left, he remembered another person who was very good at fighting: Liu Renzhan.

……

Liu Renzhan was previously under house arrest in Tokyo, and after the destruction of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the guards in his courtyard were also removed. Now he has no one to take care of, but the imperial court has not allowed him to return to the Southern Tang Kingdom. Liu Renzhan has nothing to do all day long, and often wanders around the tea shops in the streets and alleys.

He had just returned from the tea shop, but he saw Liu Chong and Lin Renzhao at the house.

Lin Renzhao and Liu Renzhan are in a similar situation, no one cares about it, and there are still people who give money and food every month. This person had a bad relationship with many generals and officials in the Southern Tang Kingdom, and when he saw Liu Renzhan, he shouted very respectfully: "The last general will meet Liu Gong." ”

Liu Renzhan said: "There is no difference between you and me, so there is no need to be so polite." ”

Lin Renzhao said: "Lin respects Liu Gong, not because of Liu Gong's position. ”

"Father." Liu Chong also came up to salute.

Liu Renzhan glanced at his son and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Liu Chong's face showed impatience and annoyance: "I was talking to Brother Lin about this just now, we are spending our time in Tokyo so wasted, and no one will take care of it anyway, so it is better to go back to my hometown to find a job." ”

"What can you do as a general?" Liu Renzhan asked.

As soon as his son said a word, the Southern Tang Kingdom no longer existed, and the current situation could not vote for Wu Yue Kingdom or the Southern Han Kingdom.

Liu Renzhan turned his head to look at Lin Renzhao, a bearded man next to him: "General Lin is willing to join the Zhou army as a general?" ”

Lin Renzhao hesitated slightly, and quickly said: "If Liu Gong votes, Lin is willing to follow his subordinates." ”

Liu Renzhan nodded, expecting Lin Renzhao to say this, so he simply asked. This Lin Renzhao did not suffer well when he was in the Southern Tang Kingdom, and was attacked many times by Liu Cheng, the general of the forbidden army, and Huangfu Jixun, who was deployed in the east at that time, and was later executed and let go; If he is loyal to the Southern Tang Kingdom, he is probably unwilling to run.

Liu Renzhan sighed at the moment: "The old man originally wanted to serve the Southern Tang Kingdom to repay the kindness of his knowledge, but now the country has been destroyed; The Emperor of the Great Zhou also had the grace of not killing, and also pardoned the little girl's major crimes. The old man can't help but be ignorant of Entu. ”

Lin Renzhao nodded solemnly after hearing this, and looked thoughtful, his expression was very serious.

Liu Renzhan said again: "We are generals, and we also have great righteousness. Today, when the next generation is unified, if we can serve the Great Zhou, it is not a bad thing. ”

"But after all, we are people from the Southern Tang Kingdom, so we can't get up to be an official by ourselves, right?" Liu Chongdao.

Liu Renzhan snorted, "You still have to practice your mind, you can't hold your breath at all, and you will be impatient when you use soldiers!" The old man asserted that sooner or later the Great Zhou Emperor would summon the old man into the palace to face the saint. ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, a slave hurriedly ran over and said, "Emperor...... The Emperor is coming! ”

The three of them were stunned in the hall, and Liu Chong asked impatiently, "Do you see clearly?" ”

The servant hurriedly said: "Yellow umbrella top cover, everything." There is also an official who came up and told me to come in and report! ”

"The old man is still wrong...... Liu Renzhan's face flushed red, and he waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look." ”

The three of them hurriedly walked out of the gate of the courtyard, and when they looked, they saw the guards in brand new clothes and armor on the street, and there were honor guards around a carriage, although it was not a large-scale etiquette for the emperor to travel, but those things were indeed used by the emperor.

At this time, I saw a young man wearing a purple round-necked robe and a black veil walking down, who was not Guo Shao? Liu Renzhan looked hurried, and led several people around him to kneel at the door together, shouting: "Your Majesty has no borders!" ”

Guo Shao strode up and helped Liu Renzhan with his own hands: "Liu Gong, please get up, I have long wanted to visit." ”
