Chapter 316: Taishou Mansion
For Liangcheng, Yan Kaizhi can be said to be so familiar that he can't be more ripe, whether it is Lingjing or northern Sichuan, it is inevitable that he will have to pass through Liangcheng to go to Beijing. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Liangcheng is the last line of defense in the capital, Hu Taishou has been sitting firmly in Liangcheng for six years, and he has been scared of the war several times, so he has to raise the lid and hide under the bed.
That's right, he was afraid of death, and he was very afraid of death, and saving his life was more important to him than anything else.
Although he is often laughed at as a soft-boned Taishou, he has done a better job in taxing the people and people's livelihood in agriculture and commerce than any Liangcheng Taishou. Because of this, he was able to let the imperial court grant him permission to stay in office, although some people made fun of him for not being high or low, and Doro had to block the knife when he called, but the benefits he received in Liangcheng were not understood by those Beijing officials and nobles who looked down on Liangcheng.
The princess and the pro-Doro made Liangcheng the best trading city in Doro and Qingguo again, and many of them were filial piety in order to live a better life in Liangcheng. Hu Taishou is not a brainless person, as long as he doesn't cause big things, he is willing to turn a blind eye, but he will not be soft when it threatens his reputation and performance. Therefore, the merchants were willing to use the money for convenience, and the people liked him to provide a calm and stable environment for Liangcheng. However, Hu Taishou knew in his heart that all this prosperity and prosperity depended on the persistence of the two places in Lingjing and Sichuan, so there was never less good for these two places.
Jin Zhaocheng's death, he was more anxious than anyone else, and he couldn't wait to find someone to block the knife for him, so that he could continue to come back to guard Lingjing steadily.
Hu Taishou doesn't like to go up to the top, that kind of intrigue is not suitable for people like him who feel lazy and lazy, every time he returns to Beijing to report on his work, he has to cheer up his spirit, for fear of being torn apart and skinned. But he is not happy to go to the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River to mingle, in his words, how much ability to be a big official, how much ambition to eat how big a bowl. For him, Liangcheng is the best place to retire, and he just hopes to mix here for a few more years, solve the family affairs of his children, and then retire for the rest of his life.
But as soon as he heard that King Doro was dead, the second prince Mu Cang succeeded to the throne, and before he had time to rectify the court, the eldest prince Yucang led the army of the Chiba tribe to attack. Mu Cang asked Lingjing for support at that time, but Jin Zhaocheng had just been captured and returned to Beijing, and no one dared to call the shots, and because there was no tiger talisman in northern Sichuan, no one could transfer troops. sent someone to report to the emperor, but Hongyi was busy with things in Pingzhou, so he was naturally too busy to deal with it. Although Mu Cang still won the battle in the end, Doro was also hit hard because of it, and he couldn't catch his breath for a while.
The eldest prince Yukura is indeed an ambitious man, he was expelled from Doro by his father, and he has long held a grudge in his heart, and he also gritted his teeth with hatred for Hongyi who helped Dora. However, it is absolutely impossible to completely spare his life and fight for a breath. King Chiba promised that he could only help him regain Doro and let him sit on the throne again, but at the same time, Yucang had to pay more than just fur horses, he also wanted to take Biying Mountain as his own, so as to get closer to northern Sichuan, and try to occupy it together with Baishan.
In that year, the answer was defeated, and the world was divided into three parts, and the Mingshui where the answer palace was located was occupied by Doro, and this was established as a country, and the royal family of the nobles of answer was hunted down. The Luobu tribe has always been outnumbered, knowing that they are incapable of the enemy, and they are unwilling to bend their knees under Doro, so they simply defected to Qingguo and lived in seclusion on the White Mountain. It is said that in the process of escaping, the young master died of illness, and the Yunyue clan stayed in the area of the Muyin River, with Chiba and Doro in between.
And Chiba, who has always called himself a weakling, after witnessing the battle between the Central Plains and Axi, silently recuperated, and finally annexed the Yunyue clan openly and Doro shouted. It's a pity that no matter how weak Doro is, he still answers most of the elites, so Chiba can't please every time, and finally waits for the infighting between Mu Cang and Yu Cang, when Mu Cang secretly sneaks to Qingguo to find Hongyi, King Chi Ba is not idle, and decisively contacts Yu Cang, saying that as long as Yu Cang needs it, the Chi Ba army is willing to serve at any time.
Yucang naturally didn't agree, this is Doro's business, why should outsiders interfere. But he never expected that Mu Cang reached a consensus with Hongyi one step ahead of him, forcing him to send troops to fight, but he fell for Mu Cang's plan and was expelled from the royal court. Fortunately, thanks to the timely rescue of King Chiba, Yucang and his guards were able to escape, for which they also became Doro's rebels, seeing the princess and pro-Doro, Mu Cang succeeded to the throne, Yucang finally couldn't bear it, and agreed with King Chiba for three chapters, and then led the army to set off.
The humiliation and anger of these years are an important reason for Yucang's defeat of Mu Cang, but Mu Cang, who can sit on the throne of Doro, is not an idle person, and Yucang, who is red-eyed with anger, is like a hungry tiger, almost killing into the bright water with lightning speed. If it weren't for the adjutant general of the army desperately blocking him, I am afraid that he would rather risk his life and tear Mu Cang off the throne.
However, Yucang's rest and recuperation also made Mucang reorganize the military defense, and it was not easy to attack the city again, and the military advisors sent by King Chiba repeatedly asked Yucang not to act impulsively, otherwise he would immediately lead the army to leave. Yu Cang was ashamed and angry in his heart, but he also had to listen to the advice, one swore to take the throne, and the other coveted Baishan.
Baishan has been the territory of the Luo Bu clan since ancient times, and they seem to have no quarrel with the world, but in fact, because of the scarcity of people, and they are born with the ability to peek into the sky, so their bodies are more vulnerable than the brave and good fighting Doro and the Yunyue people who can ride and shoot. Perhaps in order to make up for their natural weakness, the heavens gave them a delicate and handsome appearance, as well as a talent for singing and dancing. In order to enhance their physique, some Luobu people do not hesitate to marry other foreign tribes, hoping to leave strong offspring. It's a pity that all the descendants born of marriage don't have the talent of the Luo Bu tribe, and at most they can only inherit a little beauty.
It is precisely because of the natural advantages of the Luobu tribe that it is precisely their disadvantage that many people covet the beauties of the Luobu tribe, and they were once openly plundered by the invasion of the general trend. The Luobu tribe had to ask Qingguo for help, and it was Xin Maoshan who sent troops to save their lives, so that they could later hold the beauty.
Hu Taishou also accidentally learned from his daughter that there was such a noble person hidden in Fulin's house, and while scolding Hu Banniang for not telling him earlier, and going to Fulin's house all day long, he was proud of his daughter's vision. Since Fulin can have a relationship with such a noble master, his ability must not be underestimated, Hu Taishou originally wanted to persuade his daughter to change her mind, but now it seems that this family business has to be hurried.
"Master, Doctor Fu and Master Yan have arrived."
As soon as he heard the announcement that the little maid came in, Hu Taishou immediately straightened his clothes, hurriedly went down the steps, and walked out to greet him. After walking a few steps, I saw someone else leading Yan Kaizhi and Fulin in. Both of them are dressed in ordinary coarse cloth shirts, but Yan Kaizhi looks magnificent, with steady steps, a tall posture, and a high temperament, just like a manly image standing up to the sky. Although Fu Lin's face is also clear and dignified, it is not as calm and majestic as Yan Kaizhi, as if he walks with his own flash.
Mrs. Hu politely gave Yan Kaizhi a bow, and said respectfully: "Yan, Master Yan, please come in quickly."
Although Taishou is not a low status of a general, in the end, he is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he is more noble than these foreign officials. Hu Taishou didn't know about Yan Kaizhi, but he only heard Hu Banniang say that Yan Kaizhi was the general of Dingxi in Qinfeng and was going to go to northern Sichuan. She was still muttering, isn't General Dingxi Xin Maoshan, how can he still be replaced. Hu Taishou was shocked when he heard this, as soon as Xinmao Mountain, which was originally guarded in northern Sichuan, returned to Beijing, northern Sichuan was handed over to his subordinates to take care of, and the emperor did not send anyone again.
It wasn't until Yucang's army attacked Doro that the emperor asked General Ropu to come and stabilize people's hearts. However, as soon as Jin Zhaocheng left, the people of Lingjing were in turmoil, and the emperor sent several officials who couldn't be suppressed, so he had to let the well-known Luo Pu deadlock rush to Lingjing again. And what remained in northern Sichuan was a martial champion Wang Boyan who no one knew, and Mu Shizhen, a squire sent by the Ministry of War, although the two were sent by the emperor's Qin, but they had never brought soldiers, and they were all panicked, and they all pointed to the emperor to send a general over, otherwise no one could control the enemy army.
Hongyi had long wanted Yan Kaizhi to come over, but the matter of Pingzhou had to stir him up, but the supervisor sent by the Ministry of War was Fang Youxin's cronies, and he was also Mu Shizhen, who was not known for his six relatives who took righteousness as the first. Although Luo Pu can suppress them, he can't manage the two cities alone, Wang Boyan is Hongyi's newly cultivated henchman, but in the end, he is too young, inexperienced enough to convince the public, and it is even more difficult to convince Mu Shizhen, and the two can only be regarded as equal at most.
There were too many people involved in the Pingzhou Rebellion, many of them could not move, and only a few could be dispatched, the old ones were weak and critically ill, and the young ones were afraid that they would not be able to sit in northern Sichuan. Wang Boyan is young enough, and one more can only mess around, thinking about it, Hongyi can only hide from the sky and throw Yan Kaizhi over. Hongyi knew in his heart that Pingzhou had exposed too many people, even if Yan Kaizhi could keep it, he couldn't stay in the capital for a long time, and there were too many people who wanted to kill him, including the Empress Dowager He.
Therefore, when Yan Kaizhi heard the holy decree, his feelings for Hongyi in his heart became more and more complicated.
Fulin is so familiar with the Taishou Mansion that he can't be more familiar, from the door to the hall, he has to make a few detours, and he knows how many steps he takes. But after he entered the door for so long, Hu Taishou changed his usual attitude towards him, and he was complimenting Yan Kaizhi with all his strength, which made him feel a little lost. Catching up with a few steps, he shouted to stop their pace, "I said Hu Taishou, you are really eccentric, you forgot me when you saw Yan Ye." Come on, I'm here with him anyway, I'll send it to you, and I'll open it when I go back. ”
After that, Fulin turned around and left, Yan Kaizhi frowned and wondered about Fulin's attitude, Hu Taishou had already hurriedly shouted: "Wait, who said you can go, didn't I say to invite you all here, Wangcai, what did you just say!" Yes?! ”
Just kidding, I used to want to recruit him as a son-in-law according to my daughter's temperament, but now that I know his ability, how can I let him go.
Hu Taishou immediately sank his face, caught Wangcai who had just picked them up, and taught him a hard lesson.
Wangcai drooped his eyes, looking very aggrieved, looked at Fulin, and then looked at Hu Taishou, and whispered: "I said it according to your instructions, master." ”
Hu Taishou's eyes widened, "I ordered you to invite both of you, did you say something unpleasant that made Dr. Fu angry?" Hu Taishou sometimes feels that his father-in-law has failed too much, and others are waiting for his son-in-law to come to the door to compliment and please, but he comes the opposite. Who let him die five children in a row, except for two sons, and finally reported to save this daughter, so he naturally doted on her. In addition, Fulin personally rescued Hu Banniang, who had been "dead" for three days. If it weren't for Hu Banniang, she would have to make a promise, and it would be a matter of treating her life-saving benefactor as a guest.
Wangcai said pitifully: "I don't." ”
Fulin wanted to say more, seeing Yan Kaizhi's somewhat bad face, he shook his head lightly, he had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and said loosely: "Come on, don't like this in front of me, I haven't eaten it in the morning, what's the quick thing to say, I'm going to rush back to open the store after speaking." ”
Hu Taishou put down a stone and said busily: "Please two inside." ”
"Lord Hu, please." Yan Kaizhi gave way, Fulin rolled his eyes, and walked in.
