Chapter 3 Choices II

"Thank you, sir!"
"My lord is so generous, it's really a blessing that she has cultivated in three lifetimes!"
“......”
The relatives and soldiers thanked others for their words, picked up the unconscious woman, and walked away quickly. No one in the pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info think that Fu Yanqing's expulsion of the woman from the house because of her "without beating" is cruel or inappropriate.
A prince like the Fu family, who has a heavy army, is the emperor of the soil on his own territory. Life and death can be done as you like, and no law can bind it. What's more, Fu Yanqing also gave the woman five copper coins very "generously", instead of turning around and asking his father and brother to repay the dowry.
Suddenly, a servant woman came with a maidservant and wiped the blood from the door and the steps with a rag. Then he very considerately lit a cage of soothing incense in the room, and retreated with his head bowed. After a while, the elegant fragrance expelled the smell of blood in the room, and the red in Fu Yanqing's eyes slowly faded and slowly returned to normal. (Note 1)
"What's the matter?" he asked, spreading his hands out in front of his eyes, frowning. The palm of the hand is wide, and the phalanges are thick and strong, and this is a pair of military general's hands that can hold both the hilt and the golden seal at the same time.
Force and power, since he succeeded his brother as the head of the family, Fu Yanqing has never lost it. For so many years, the mountains and rivers have been changing color, and the imperial court has been constantly changing, but the Fu family will always be the Fu family, and under his full management, not only has there been no loss, but it has become more and more prosperous and powerful.
But in front of him, the boundary between the court and the family suddenly became less clear. There is an opportunity that suddenly comes from the sky, as long as he reaches out to catch it, maybe without any cost, the Fu family can turn the family into a country. He, Fu Yanqing, is no longer the head of the Fu family, the prince of a place, but the master of the entire Central Plains!
As long as he stretches out his hand, he stretches out his hand casually! He erects a big banner to win the championship and fights the deer, and sends a small number of soldiers and horses to point his sword at Bianliang! He doesn't even need to send any soldiers and horses, he just needs to climb high and shout. Li Shouzhen, Hou Yi, Zhao Kuangzan and others will surely respond. Liu Zhiyuan, who was in a stalemate with Du Chongwei and Zhao Yannian and others, was attacked by the enemy, and collapse was inevitable. Then the Fu family launched a direct blood relative of the emperor of the previous dynasty as a puppet, or directly waved his army west......
The temptation is so luscious that as soon as Fu Yanqing closes his eyes for several days, he can see himself sitting on the dragon chair and accepting the world's heroes to pay homage. Then he can cultivate Wenzhi internally, refine and strengthen the army externally, sweep Huaiyang Huguang in the south, and recover it in the north......
If Liu Zhiyuan is defeated in Yedu, Zhao Yanshou, Du Chongwei and others will inevitably use the strength of the Khitans to move south. The best result he can achieve is to completely abandon the east of the Taihang Mountains, the north of Shanzhou, and the Liao State with the Yellow River as the boundary, about a brotherly state. In that case, what is the difference between himself and Shi Jingjiao?
Historically, it is not without heroes who use foreign races as strong reinforcements, gain the world, and then be praised by future generations. Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, is the best example. Although when he marched to Chang'an, he also asked for strong support from the Turks. In the first few years after the founding of the country, there was still no shortage of filial piety to the Turks. But Li Yuan has a good son Li Shimin who doesn't recognize his six relatives. Not long after ascending the throne, he defeated the Turks for thousands of miles and completely washed away the shame of his father.
Thinking that back then, Shi Jingjiao sold the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan, and he may not want to emulate Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty. However, Shi Jingjiao's own ability is not half a little different from Li Yuan. As for Shi Jingjiao's successor, Shi Chonggui, if he can match the toes of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, he will not end up ruining the country and his family.
Speaking from the heart, Fu Yanqing thinks that his skills and popularity are not inferior to Shi Jingjiao, but his eldest son, alas, can be half as valuable as Shang Shi, and God is already gracious!
In the past few days, as long as he thought of his eldest son Fu Zhaoxu, the pride and ambition in Fu Yanqing's heart instantly turned into a puddle of ice water. "You have to be able to open the country, and you don't have children like virtuous", a poem by Liu Yuxi in front of the main temple of Shu in the past, I don't know how many heroes and heroes have been sore spots. If you don't have a suitable heir, what's the use of having the ability to do it again? Just as the so-called people are rare in their seventies, they are already in their fifties this year, and their mental and physical strength are declining day by day. Even if he can become an emperor and govern the country for a few years, once he goes west, his son Zhaoxu can't keep his ancestral business like Shi Chonggui. If the Fu family wants to take a step back and become a local prince as they are now, I'm afraid it's impossible!!(Note 2)
Is it to take the risk of bringing the Fu family to the pinnacle of power, no matter how the children and grandchildren are separated after death, and their heads are different? Or continue to pursue the current strategy, always be a local prince, and pass on the wealth and glory to the third, fifth, and even tenth generations, and the hundred generations? Compared with the war situation in Yedu, this is the most upsetting thing for Fu Yanqing.
For that battle, he was a bystander, and he could naturally see it clearly. And in the matter of whether to "turn his family into a country", he is the authority, and he feels very heavy with his gestures.
"Smack!" The incense candle on the table burst out with a huge candle and sparks splashed everywhere. Fu Yanqing's silk burqa was burned by a spark at the base of his thigh, his muscles trembled violently, and a sharp pain rushed to the top door.
"Uh-huh!" he muttered under his breath, instinctively gripping the hilt of his knife with his hand. If you are hurt, you have to fight back, this is his principle of doing things. However, as far as the eye could see, there was not half a figure. At this moment, even if he pulled out the knife, he could only cut down the candle, not only could not vent the irritability that was surging more and more in his heart again, but also exposed the weakness and confusion in his soul and bones at this moment.
This is a troubled time, and the person who is the head of the family cannot show the slightest weakness. Otherwise, it will inevitably bring disaster to the family. Gritting his teeth, he thrust the knife back into its sheath, tucking his burqa into the hole that had been burned at the base of his thigh. Then he grabbed the scissors left behind by the servants and slashed the wick in two. (Note 3)
The candle, which had lost half of its wick, suddenly dimmed and became brighter and brighter. His shadow on the wall by the candlelight was also half shortened in an instant, and he jumped high in an instant.
The ability of his eldest son Fu Zhaoxu to keep the Fu family's current foundation is very reluctant. became the monarch, even if it was not Shi Chonggui's second, he was also the second Li Congke. In these years, the princes did not have much loyalty to the monarch, as long as the court was a little declining, the princes would immediately raise troops and rush to Bianliang, killing the monarch like chickens. Witnessing the demise of the Tang Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty, Fu Yanqing did not expect anything from the conduct of many of his peers.
If the Zhaoxu is abolished, the second Zhaoxin will be replaced...... Suddenly, a hopeful thought jumped into his heart. His second son, Fu Zhaoxin, is much stronger than the boss. But the second Zhaoxin's body has always been weak, and he is obviously not a long-lived appearance. The abolition of the royal family is not as simple as the transposition of the head of the ordinary people's family, and the deposed person will either be imprisoned for life or die. personally sent the boss to a dead end, and then watched the second child die at the end of his life, even if he sat on the country, what fun did he have for the rest of his life?
At this time, he couldn't help but complain that God didn't have long eyes. If his daughter can also inherit the throne, his eldest daughter Fu Fei is far more than the best candidate for two adult sons. The Great Qin established by his Fu family will definitely surpass the Tang Dynasty......
"Bang!" was smiling wryly and thinking about it when the door was suddenly pushed open from outside. Fu Zhaoxu, the eldest son, who had just been deposed once in his heart, grabbed a yellow ayaluo in his hand, and rushed in excitedly, "Grandpa, grandpa, north, there is another Qincha from the north." Yes, I want to make you the lord of the Central Plains!"
"What?" Fu Yanqing's brows furrowed suddenly, and a cold light shone between his eyes, "When did you come? Why didn't you tell your father and go to see him privately?"
"Just now, just arrived!" Fu Zhaoxu was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he didn't notice his father's reaction at all. waved back the yellow ayaluo in his hand and continued to add loudly, "Second brother, second brother said that you were in a bad mood today and went to bed early. Got in the way of Lord Chincha. It's a loss, it's a shame that I happened to pass by the post house, and when I saw that the second brother personally arranged for them to stay, I asked about the situation by the way. ”
If you ask in passing, it must be nonsense. His eldest son has always been angry about being ordered to hand over the pro-army in Yanei. So deliberately found fault with the second child, and then ran to sue the black. In this regard, Fu Yanqing can understand it clearly without pondering. However, what he was angry about was not the open and secret struggle between the two sons, but Fu Zhaoxu's current attitude, as if he had picked up a big bargain, and he couldn't wait to immediately put away the incense case and bow to the north.
"In the future, although you study and practice martial arts, don't worry about other things at home!" forcibly suppressing the disappointment in his heart, Fu Yanqing turned his head to the battlefield situation map on the wall again, and commanded in a deep voice.
"But, but Da Liao wants to be sealed, and you will be crowned emperor!" Fu Zhaoxu realized that his father's attitude was not the same as he imagined, so he was stunned and muttered to add. "They said, they said that Zhao Yanshou and Du Chongwei are not enough to compete with you, and Li Shouzhen and Hou Yi and others are too weak. At this moment, only you are the most suitable to stand up and clean up the mess and rule the world with Da Liao!"
These are the original words written by the new emperor Yelu Ruan in the holy decree, which is deeply recognized by Fu Zhaoxu himself. Not only that, but in recent times, those civilian aides of the Fu family have also publicly said similar words. Zhao Yanshou, the king of Yan in the Great Liao, repeatedly led the Khitan soldiers to attack the Central Plains, and Du Chongwei stayed behind to defend Du Chongwei once bent his knees on the bank of the Hutuo River to surrender to the enemy, and the reputation of the two was infamous in all parts of the Central Plains. Li Shouzhen, Hou Yi and others have risen too shortly, and no matter their prestige and strength, they can't be compared with Fu Yanqing. Therefore, once Liu Zhiyuan is defeated, Fu Yanqing will be the best candidate to replace him, and no one can question it.
However, at this moment, the more clearly Fu Zhaoxu spoke, the more desperate Fu Yanqing felt in his heart. Turning around, he snatched the holy decree from the Liao Kingdom from his hand and handed it directly to the candle.
......The golden silk was immediately ignited, and the bright flame instantly jumped several feet high. Fu Zhaoxu instinctively stepped forward to rescue, but was kicked out of the way by his own father. "Get out, go back to your yard, think about it behind closed doors, and be grounded for half a year. Within half a year, if you dare to go out again, the old man, the old man will remove you from the family tree!"
As he spoke, he drew his horizontal knife and lifted the "Holy Decree" in mid-air, watching as the object burned into a pile of ashes. Then, when he rushed to the door of the house, the soldiers who were at a loss for what to do ordered, "Escort him back to his own yard and ground, no one is allowed to let him out without the old man's order." Go quickly, go quickly. ”
"This ...... , yes!" The soldiers hesitated to agree, stepped forward to pick up Fu Zhaoxu, who was already frightened, and advised in a low voice, "Let's go, Shizi." Grandpa Guo is on fire, you, if you have any grievances, you might as well ......"
"You have to be a good person, this time, no matter who he moves out to intercede, the old man will never forgive him again!" Fu Yanqing's ears were sharp, he caught up with him, and added loudly, "Otherwise, you will die sooner or later without a place to be buried!"
"Adults are angry, adults are angry!" The kindness of the soldiers was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs. Hurriedly supported Fu Zhaoxu and fled quickly.
Fu Yanqing hated so much that the roots of his teeth itched, and he circled around in the candlelight like a trapped beast. Finally, he turned his heart sideways, chased out of the door again, and said loudly: "Come on, drag those Khitan Qincha who delivered the decree, along with their entourage, to me outside the city and bury them alive! Don't let any of them slip through the net!"
"Ahh
What happened to my father today, could it be that he lost his heart and went crazy? The Great Liao Kingdom is clearly a good heart, he refuses to appreciate it, just refuses to refuse, why kill people and kill people?!
"Hurry up and execute!" Fu Yanqing waved his hand impatiently and ordered at the soldiers. Immediately, he chased a few more steps, put his hands on his eldest son's shoulders, shook his head and said, "In the future, you won't care about the affairs of the family." Study and practice martial arts honestly, and ensure your father's wealth and prosperity all your life. Your second brother is a generous man, even if his father is gone, he shouldn't be too persecutive of you!"
"Ah, grandpa......" Fu Zhaoxu was stunned for a long time before finally realizing that the punishment for himself was not only being grounded, but being deprived of the inheritance of the head of the family forever. "Poof" fell to his knees, and two lines of tears flowed down, "The child is not filial, so you are embarrassed by your father!" But, what is wrong with the child? Child, isn't the child also for our Fu family today?"
"You don't have that ability, the more you do for the family, the more you will harm the whole family!" Fu Yanqing was screamed by Grandpa, and his heart trembled, and he sighed again and said in a low voice. "I won't list all the things that are wrong for the father. If you think about it slowly, you will be able to figure it out sooner or later. But, whether you can figure it out or not, there is one thing that the Father must tell you now!"
"Hmm!" Fu Zhaoxu said with tears in his eyes.
"Princes and generals can be sealed. Only the emperor can't!" Fu Yanqing grinned again, his face full of helplessness!
Note 1: Tranquil incense, a commonly used spice in ancient China. Instead of making incense sticks for temples, they are pounded into fine pieces and burned in a special metal cage. Because it contains ambergris and other substances, it can play a role in relieving fatigue and invigorating the spirit.
Note 2: To be able to open the country, and to have children is not like a virtuous, from Liu Yuxi's "Shu Xianzhu Temple". The first two sentences of the whole article are "Heaven and earth are heroic, and the autumn is still awe-inspiring." And five or six sentences, "You have to be able to open the country, and you don't have children like virtuous." "The most widely circulated.
Note 3: Candlesticks. In ancient times, candle wicks were not made of cotton thread, and wax was not paraffin, so when burning for lighting, the wick would form pimples. If you don't cut it for a long time, it will burst into flames.
