At the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners, there was silence, from the civil and military officials to the small officials and soldiers, all of whom were shocked.

After all, if it were them, if they were named the Marquis of Wanhu, they would definitely have to accept it, and they would not be like Fu Quan, who would even resign the title to the emperor, which they never imagined and would not dare to do.

Liu Hong looked at Fu Quan in front of him with a cold face and said, "What do you mean by this?" If you don't have merit, how can you be subservient? His words were cold, and although he did not criticize them, the meaning of his words was clear.

"Your Majesty, the minister is both a minister and a nephew, and the uncle is still a marquis of 3,600 households, and if the minister is a marquis of ten thousand households, is it not disrespectful and respectful? Do not respect the elder, that is, unfilial piety, the minister has studied the "Book of Filial Piety" since childhood, and he knows that the minister is loyal, and the son of man is filial, so the minister does not dare to accept it! ”

Fu Quan saluted and replied, his meaning is very clear, after all, his uncle Fu Wan only has 3,600 households, and he himself is about to have 10,000 households, which is understood from another way, that is, he is compared with Fu Wan, there are more food estates than the other party, if it is forcibly investigated, Fu Quan will indeed be "unfilial" in this regard because his official position is greater than the other party.

As soon as this remark came out, Liu Hong was stunned, but he didn't know what to say, after all, no one thought that Fuquan was so serious, since ancient times, no one was unwilling to sit in office, even if the official title of the younger generation is higher than that of the elders, but many people will automatically ignore this because of their own interests, but now it has been exposed by Fuquan in public, which obviously makes Liu Hong very dissatisfied.

It's just that dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, but Liu Hong himself is inconvenient to say more, after all, the Han Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and Fuquan himself puts him first in filial piety, Liu Hong naturally can't ask Fuquan to be the Marquis of Wanhu in the name of "unfilial piety".

The scene froze for a while, and no one dared to say more, until the queen Song beside Liu Hong reprimanded: "Boldly rebel against the minister, the king's order is difficult to disobey, Your Majesty has an order that you do not obey, is it not disloyal?" Come, take this disloyal minister away! ”

As soon as the words came out, the audience was full of surprise, and countless civil and military faces looked at the queen Song in shock, and they were surprised that she actually scolded Fuquan. After all, everyone knows the relationship between the Fu family and the Song family, and now that Fu Quan refuses to resign, shouldn't the Song family persuade the emperor not to be angry? Why is it that he suddenly scolds Fuquan for being unfaithful now? This reversal is too unacceptable.

Of course, not only the Manchu civil and military, but also Liu Hong himself was also surprised. However, when he heard that the Song clan was going to expel Fuquan, he hurriedly stopped: "The queen is angry, the Marquis of Yangdu is young, and he has raised him for many years, and he dare not be unfilial today, which is really understandable." That's it, where is Zhang Changshi? ”

For Liu Hong, Fuquan can be said to be one of the few generals he has single-handedly promoted, and Liu Hong is unwilling to ruin his future because of this matter. You must know that if you really have to bear a reputation of "disloyalty and unfilial piety", even if it is excusable, even if Liu Hong wants to vigorously promote him in the future, it is estimated that he will have to consider it carefully, so Liu Hong naturally wants to stop it.

Zhang Rang, who had been watching the show by Liu Hong's side, secretly rejoiced in his heart, hoping that Fuquan would be disgusted by Liu Hong, and responded with some disappointment: "The slave is here!" The reason for his disappointment was very simple, because he had heard from Liu Hong's words that Liu Hong was unwilling to strictly pursue Fu Quan, which naturally made Zhang Rang, who had always been dissatisfied with Fu Quan, very disappointed.

"Edict: Bajun is too guarded by the spring, disrespectful to the edict, specially cut the food of 9,000 yi, and change it to 2,000 households of Yangduhou!"

"No!"

As Zhang Rang saluted and left, Liu Hong looked at Fu Quan with a smile and said: "The ancestor of Yangdu Hou Nair, the first lord of Fuhui Gong, after the Gao Temple in that year, Erzu was dismissed and reappointed as the marquis. Today's resumption of the knighthood, but also the return of the ancestors' honor, will be a good story! ”

This time, Fu Quan did not refuse, but respectfully saluted and accepted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" ”

A farce ended abruptly, seeing that the emperor was happy here, and did not blame Fuquan's queen Song for this, he was also relieved in his heart, looking at Fuquan in front of him, he couldn't help but complain, this guy is really not reassuring, he doesn't want a good title of ten thousand households, and he doesn't know what he thinks in his heart, fortunately, the letter sent by the other party is useful, and he persuaded him according to the emperor's rebellious temperament, otherwise if he didn't help himself, I'm afraid this guy wouldn't have passed today's disaster like this at all.

Seeing that the matter had been completed, Fu Quan was also relieved in his heart, looking at Liu Hong, who was happy in front of him, and the queen Song beside him, Fu Quan knew what Queen Song thought in his heart. However, there are some things that he is inconvenient to say clearly, the reason why he rejected the Marquis of Wanhu, of course, could not be because he would carry a reputation for disloyalty, and the reason why it was so was completely because he didn't want to be a big man.

On the way here, Fuquan had already gotten the news, knowing that Liu Hong wanted to reward himself as the Marquis of Wanhu Yangdu because of his contribution to leading the Han army out of the fortress to conquer Xianbei this time, originally Fuquan was also very happy that he could get the title of Marquis of Wanhu so quickly, after all, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there are only a handful of people who have really gotten the title of Marquis of Wanhu, ordinary civil and military generals, it is good to have a marquis of a thousand households, he got the Marquis of Wanhu at such a young age, but I don't know how many people will be mad.

However, after Jia Xu suddenly found him and gave Fu Quan a wake-up call similar to "Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it", Fu Quan thought about it for a long time and decided to resign from the title of Marquis of Yangdu.

In fact, Fuquan understood that Jia Xu could not wake himself up for no reason, and then thought about it carefully, once he really accepted the position of Marquis of Wanhu, although it looked very majestic, and even because Uncle Fuquan was unable to complete his marquis, a double marquis, and it was not the kind of marquis of Guannei and Tinghou, who had no name for food, but a marquis with the name of his own country, which can be described as extremely noble, but there are many hidden dangers.

Let's not talk about it, let's just say that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, except for the people who are friends with the Fu family and the Song family on weekdays, they will definitely be very happy after knowing that the Fu family is suddenly so noble. But other people, especially the political enemies of the Fu family, are obviously not happy at all, after all, the greater the wealth of the Fu family, the more favored by the emperor means that the Fu family is favored, which makes other officials who want to climb all the way in the court how to see it?

Regardless of ancient or modern, people who travel with them will have pink eye, those who are small officials will be red and big, and those who are not popular will be red and those who are not popular in writing books, and all interests are inevitable and inevitable. Therefore, once the Fu clan is crowned in the court, then for Fu Quan or the entire Fu family, there will be one after another dignitaries and high-ranking officials who regard it as a thorn in the side, which is obviously not what Fu Quan wants, after all, Fu Quan is still too weak in terms of the power base of the Han Dynasty, and this is not a troubled era in which force can have a great upper hand later.

If he can take charge of the land of a state, Fuquan will not be afraid of the attack of the court at all.

To sum up various reasons, in the end, Fuquan thought about it for a long time and chose to give up the title of Marquis of Wanhu, and the reason he found was also the reason for "unfilial piety" that he thought of for a long time. After all, if you choose other reasons, it is obvious that none of them are more convincing than this "unfilial piety".

For this reason, Fu Quan deliberately wrote a letter to the Empress Song before leaving Beijing, hoping that Empress Song would defend herself at the right opportunity, so that what happened just now would happen. Otherwise, without the persuasion of Empress Song, I am afraid that Fu Quan will be really sad to pass this level this time, and the reason why he chose Empress Song is naturally because she and Liu Hong are husband and wife, and there is no way to persuade in this world that is easy to use, of course, Song Hou suddenly scolded Fu Quan just now, and he also scared Fu Quan into a cold sweat, even he couldn't guess what Fu Quan wanted to do at that time.

It's just that the result that is different from what Fu Quan thought about is that Liu Hong still made him the marquis of two thousand households and cut a lot of food, so that Fu is still a family and two marquis, and it is still a little dazzling to look at. However, after all, it is not as dazzling as the Marquis of Wanhu, and since the Han Dynasty, it is not for nothing that there have been several marquis, even if it will make people blush, but it will undoubtedly not make them have that kind of jealousy that is deliberately targeted, which is not bad.

As for the Fu Hui Gong that Liu Hong said, he naturally said that Fu Zhan, the seventh ancestor of Fuquan, was a famous minister under the command of Emperor Liu Xiu. When Liu Xiu ascended the throne, he knew that Fu Zhan was a famous Confucian minister, so he named Fu Zhan as a book, and made him pawn the old system. Every time Liu Xiu drove out to fight, he would make Fu Zhan stay in Beijing and Luoyang, the chief photographer, which can be described as a senior student, and he was extremely trusted by Liu Xiu.

Also because of Fu Zhan's various contributions, in the third year of Jianwu, Liu Xiunian remembered his hard work, so he ordered Fu Zhan to replace Deng Yu as the great Situ, and named him the Marquis of Yangdu. It's just that in the winter of that year, Liu Xiu led the chariot to conquer Zhang Bu, leaving Fu Zhan to guard the capital, when the ministers held a steaming sacrifice in the high temple, and Henan Yin and Si Lixiao Wei argued in the temple, and Fu Zhan has always had the temperament of Confucian ministers and mud, and did not want to offend either of the two, so he did not report this matter to Liu Xiu. In the sixth year of Jianwu, because of the previous incident, Liu Xiu cut off the title of Marquis of Yangdu, changed the title to the Marquis of Buqi, and ate 3,600 households.

Now Liu Hong said that Fuquan restored the glory of his ancestors, that is, after more than 100 years, the descendants were also awarded the same title as the ancestors, and it was obviously passed out, which was a good story, not to mention a family of civil and military marquis. Fu Quan thought that if someone repaired the Hou Han Book now, I am afraid that there will be a record of the Fuhou family, and he and Fu Wan will definitely be mentioned separately and placed side by side.

Three days later, at the court meeting, Fu Quan and the ministers knelt down and saluted, and watched Liu Hong ascend the emperor's throne under the escort of Yu Linlang and Hu Benlang, and began the court meeting.

The topic of this court meeting has already been notified to the ministers, and there is no other content, that is, after the Han Dynasty conquered Xianbei, for the resettlement of the outside of the Saiwai, with Dou Xian's expulsion of the Northern Xiongnu, so that the Xianbei people could rise from the past, it was naturally impossible for the Han Dynasty to destroy Xianbei and ignore the grassland.

After all, although they don't care about the land outside the Saiwai, they can't just ignore it, and let the grassland go through cultivation and recuperation, and then give birth to the next force that is no less than the Xiongnu and Xianbei. In that case, it is undoubtedly conniving at the birth of a strong enemy, this is not the tradition of the Han Dynasty, after all, although the Han family has been letting the aliens move inward, and giving them land to survive, but whether it is the Xiongnu, Karasuma, Qiang and other alien races, they are all under the control of the Han Dynasty, unless the Han Dynasty is extremely weak, otherwise even if they have two minds, they are not the opponents of the Han Dynasty at all, and even under the orders of the Han Dynasty, they can only continue to transfer soldiers and horses to be the servant army of the Han army, and use their own people's lives to be cannon fodder for the Han army.

There are a lot of suggestions from the ministers, but they all sound bad in Fuquan, or the vision is too shallow, it is just the expansion of land and immigration, and the use of fertile land to graze horses and raise borders, which are all the old ways of the Han family.

After a bunch of well-known ministers in the court generously spoke one by one and admonished, Fuquan came out of the queue quietly, took out the recital he had prepared a long time ago, and admonished loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has a performance!" ”

Liu Hong didn't think much about it, and said as usual: "What did Qing say?" ”

In fact, in Liu Hong's heart, he didn't think that the court would have any substantive suggestions, even the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were the same, in their opinion, as long as they mastered the available fertile grassland, the Han only needed to ensure that the grassland alien races would not grow easily, and let them fend for themselves in a harsh environment, anyway, those soil buns would not pose much threat to them for decades, so they would be safe, and they didn't have to spend too much energy at all.

It's just that the first sentence that Fu Quan said made the ministers shocked, and they only heard him say: "The ministers ask Your Majesty to implement fake loans to collect the cattle and horses obtained by Xianbei, give the landless people in the world, and go out of the Saitun field......"
