Chapter Twenty-Nine: Zhao Guanjia's Metaphor Becomes Unrighteous and Empress Fu Runs Out of Oil (2)
Fu Yanqing only thought that he had heard it wrong, and looked at the thirteen-year-old boy again and again, but he really couldn't see the slightest bit of the perseverance and solemnity that a coach should have on his delicate face, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, the saint really jokes with the old man!" Don't say that you are not my Fu family's son-in-law, even if it is Jiangmen Huzi, it is impossible to take over the Zhongwu Army at such a young age. The sage still went back to talk to the officials, and asked Cao Guohua and Pan Zhongxun, these fierce generals on the battlefield, to come over and take over the power, and the old friends could also be relieved. ”
Fu Xinhuan said: "Father, don't look small, but when he was a few years old, he learned the art of war with these famous generals, and his martial arts were even passed down by his imperial brother Yuan Zuo, which should not be underestimated at all."
"Yes! I'm afraid he won't even be able to hold the gun steadily! Fu Yanqing smiled and snatched the spear of the soldier next to him, and with a slight force on his wrist, the spear shot towards Zhao Yuanfen vertically. Fu Yanqing is worthy of being a fierce general, even if he is old and does not have all the strength in his hands, the force on the spear is still terrifying, like an offline sharp arrow, roaring straight into Zhao Yuanfen's young body.
Fu Xinhuan said how good Zhao Yuanfen was, but seeing that her father was testing her grandson like this, her heart still beat faster and faster with the flying spear. Zhao Yuanfen didn't panic at all, his eyes were fixed on the body of the gun, and his whole body didn't react at all.
In an instant, the spear was only half a foot away from Zhao Yuanfen, but he still didn't move. Fu Yanqing only thought that Zhao Yuanfen was stupid, and just wanted to jump forward and grab the spear back, but Zhao Yuanfen suddenly moved. I saw him take two diagonal steps towards the spear, and at the moment when the spear was about to hit his chest, his left hand gently supported the spear on the spear, turning the spear that was originally flying vertically into a horizontal one. Immediately, as soon as he grasped the body of the gun, he took advantage of the domineering momentum to quickly turn around his waist three times. Immediately afterwards, the gun was handed over to his right hand, and he threw it back at Fu Yanqing without hesitation.
Fu Yanqing never expected that Zhao Yuanfen's martial arts would be so strong, and he was stunned for a moment, the spear had arrived in front of him. He hurriedly grabbed the body of the gun, but the force on the gun was several times greater than when he threw it just now, and he grabbed his body rashly and was taken back half a step backwards by the force of the gun. If it weren't for his experience, he would have poked the body of the gun into the soil in time, and he would have to suffer.
"I don't know how to measure when I'm young, and I hope my father will forgive me." Fu Xinhuan hurriedly stepped forward to hug her father, and said to Zhao Yuanfen in a blink of an eye: "Son, don't you come to make amends to your grandfather!" ”
Zhao Yuanfen hurriedly went to Fu Yanqing's side and apologized: "Grandpa, my grandson is reckless for a while, I hope you Haihan!" ”
Fu Yanqing looked at Zhao Yuanfen incredulously, and nodded appreciatively, "Not bad, not bad, your martial arts are really good!" No wonder there are so many princes in the official family, but they alone sent you to take over the military power. It's just that although your martial arts are high, after all, you are too young, and if you want to be in charge of the loyal army, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it. ”
Zhao Yuanfen said: "Thank you grandfather for your compliment, as long as you hand over the military power to your grandson, your grandson will definitely be able to control this army." ”
"Really? So confident? Fu Yanqing smiled, ordered Yu Gang, the commander of the loyal army, and said, "Yu Gang, you go to the general's camp to get the talisman and hand it over to Yuanfen." ”
Yu Gang saw that Fu Yanqing really wanted to hand over the military power to such a child, and his face was full of puzzlement and doubts, but since Master Fu had decided so, he had to grit his teeth and do it. After a long time, Yu just took the lacquer box containing the talismans and handed it to Zhao Yuan very reluctantly.
Zhao Yuanfen thanked him, took the lacquer box with both hands, and walked to the platform step by step. His expression was very solemn, his steps were slow but firm, not at all like a child, but like a general who had been in charge of the army for a long time. Standing on the stage, Zhao Yuanfen calmly raised the flag and shouted: "Line up!" ”
He shouted very imposingly, and the command flag in his palm was also used freely, but the soldiers in the audience did not move at all, and thousands of pairs of eyes looked at Fu Yanqing in the audience. Fu Yanqing smiled and nodded, and the soldiers were trained to line up and wait for Master Fu's next command.
Zhao Yuanfen was a little angry in his heart, but his face did not show anything, and he waved the command flag again to let the team move forward. The soldiers couldn't understand the flag at all, and they still didn't move, until Fu Yanqing nodded again, and they barely walked a few steps.
"Soldiers, I know that you think this prince is small, and you don't think I'm qualified to be in charge of elite soldiers like you, and I don't blame you. However, since the official family has appointed me to take over the power, there is naturally a reason for the official family, and after a long time, you may know about it. I won't say much about it, please act according to the order banner and show your original appearance! ”
This time, a very small number of soldiers subconsciously raised their guns according to Zhao Yuanfen's orders, but the commander Yu Gang glared at these soldiers who were moving without permission, and they were so frightened that they quickly put down their guns. As for more people, of course, they were all waiting for Fu Yanqing's instructions just now, and no one took this thirteen-year-old child in their eyes at all.
Zhao Yuanfen knew that if the soldiers were allowed to go on like this, there would be absolutely no way to control this army, as long as the queen Fu Xinhuan left, he would inevitably become Fu Yanqing's puppet. He gritted his teeth fiercely, and a little murderous intent burst out on his young face, "Yu Gang, you took your life a few days ago and intercepted and killed the imperial court generals." Now you are coercing your subordinates to disobey me, what is your sin? ”
Yu Gang said angrily: "Fourth prince, you said that you are a little pretentious, I don't know who you listened to?" On that day, the little one was ordered by Lord Fu to intercept and kill the traitor, if you don't believe it, ask Lord Fu if this is the case! ”
Zhao Yuanfen sneered and said, "Hmph, it's nonsense!" Master Fu is loyal to the country and the founder of the country, how could he ignore the laws of the Great Song Dynasty for his own personal grudges! It must be you, a traitor, who has a grudge against General Yuwen, and declares a personal vendetta under the guise of Lord Fu! I didn't want to pursue it, but you blatantly disobeyed my command and treated my orders as child's play, which is truly hateful! Come on, pull out Yu Gang, the commander of the loyal army, and behead me! ”
Yu Gang angrily pointed at Zhao Yuanfen, gritted his teeth and said, "You...... Don't you dare! Lao Tzu is a dignified commander personally promoted by Master Fu, I see who dares to do it to me! ”
Although the Zhongwu Army is called the Imperial Guard, it was selected and trained by Fu Yanqing, and it has always been only the commander of Fu Yanqing, and there is no Zhao Guangyi, an official of the Great Song Dynasty. What's more, it was only Zhao Guangyi's fourth son who wanted to kill the commander Yu Gang, Zhao Yuanfen, who was only thirteen years old this year?
Zhao Yuanfen saw that no one moved, and shouted: "Where is Li Chengying!" ”
Behind Fu Xinhuan, a child who was also young took a few steps forward and responded, "The villain is here!" "This child is one of the riders who accompanied him, although he is still young, but he can be as young and old as he is in his actions, and he is bold and wise.
Zhao Yuanfen said in a heartfelt manner: "The commander of the loyal army made Yu Gang arbitrary and disregarded military discipline, and the two crimes should be beheaded in one, I order you to immediately lead someone to drag him away for execution, it may be done!" ”
"Yes, the villain obeys!" Li Chengying bowed and saluted, and immediately rushed forward with the riders who came with him. Yu Gang had the heart to resist, but Li Chengying was outnumbered, and after only a few struggles, everyone tied his hands upside down and tied them firmly.
Yu Gang realized at this moment that Zhao Yuanfen was not joking at all, and he really wanted to kill himself, so he hurriedly begged: "Master Fu, you are his grandfather, quickly speak out and save me!" Help me, I beg you! ”
"Part, Yu Gang is a favorite general under his grandfather, you can't ......" Fu Yanqing was about to stop, but before he could finish speaking, Fu Xinhuan gave him a look. Fu Yanqing was puzzled at first, but then he suddenly realized that intercepting and killing the general was a capital crime, and if Zhao Yuanfen didn't kill Yu Gang, then he would be the one who would die.
Fu Yanqing was furious when she saw that love was going to be pushed out of the gate, but when she thought of this, she had to shut up and accept this fact, "What a good Zhao Yuanfen, not only is his martial arts amazing, but this courage and change are also rare in the world!" If it weren't for the old man who saw it with his own eyes, I couldn't believe that a thirteen-year-old child would be so mature and sophisticated! ”
Not long after, Li Chengying carried a bloody human head and slowly walked to the bottom of the general's platform, "Lord Yu, the commander of the loyal army, Yu Gang, has died, and the villain has come to hand in his life!" ”
Zhao Yuanfen nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, hang Yu Gang's head under the general!" ”
"Yes!" Li Chengying took out the hemp rope from his arms as he said, tied one end to the head of the gang, and tied the other end to the corner of the platform. The soldiers have always been headed by Fu Yanqing in their hearts, followed by Yu Gang, and now they are looking at Yu Gang's first level, which one dares to make a second.
Zhao Yuanfen raised the order flag again and ordered: "Raise the gun!" ”
This time, the soldiers all obeyed the order, and their movements were uniform, but their faces were more or less displeased and fearful, and almost none of them were willing to obey the command. Seeing this, Fu Xinhuan couldn't help but be a little worried about Zhao Yuanfen, lest the soldiers mutinied in the long run, but Fu Yanqing was happy to see it, and looked at Yuanmen from time to time, as if waiting for someone.
Soon, a team under the command of the deputy commander Cui Bin pushed one after another Taiping cars from Yuanmen. Cui Bin led his troops to the stage, and when he saw that a child was standing on the stage, he couldn't help but show disdain, "The last general Cui Bin escorted the grain and grass back to the camp, how to deal with it, please show the general!" ”
Zhao Yuanfen waved the flag, and ordered the soldiers to be trained to divide into two teams left and right, and slowly stepped off the platform. He walked up to Cui Bin in a few steps, said hard work, and personally opened a heavy sack on the first car.
However, the moment he opened the sack, his brow furrowed. I saw that there were not only grain in the sack that had not faded the husk of rice, but also countless gravel, and even the proportion of grit far exceeded the grain in the sack.
Zhao Yuanfen hurriedly asked, "Cui Bin, what's going on!" ”
Cui Bin said: "Tell the general, the last general was ordered to go out of the camp and go to the Wilmar granary next to Luoshui to extract military rations. Who knew that the grain officer refused to provide all the grain and grass in the name of lack of grain in the warehouse, and the general repeatedly asked for it, so he was worthy of giving 3,000 stone of grain. Walking near the barracks, the more the general thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered the package to be opened and inspected for grain, only to find out that it was wrong. The last general had the intention to go back to the theory, but he was afraid that he would miss the time, so he had to enter the camp first to inform the general. ”
Zhao Yuanfen glanced at Cui Bin suspiciously, gently picked up a handful of gravel, put it under his nose and sniffed it, crushed a few grains of sand with his left hand, and then smiled: "Haha, there was Yu Gang who killed the official in the past, and Cui Bin in the back filled his pockets." Grandpa, the loyal army under your rule is worthy of the elite of the world, it is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there are many talents! ”
Cui Bin's face changed, and he said with some trepidation: "Will ...... General, what do you say? End...... The last general doesn't understand! ”
Zhao Yuanfen spread out his palms and explained: "Cui Bin, you said that today you went to the Wilmar granary next to Luoshui to get grain, if it is really the grain official who is making trouble, why is the sand in the bag wet on the outside and dry on the inside?" Do you want me to believe that the grain officer, for the sake of public welfare, gave up the sand that was readily available by the river and went miles away to collect the gravel? Or will the sand soaked by the river all the year round be dry on the inside? ”
Cui Bin saw that Zhao Yuanfen was young, thinking that he must not be able to see the clues, but who knew that Zhao Yuanfen was casually broken, and he was almost knocked down in shock for a while. Fu Yanqing had been shocked by Zhao Yuanfen twice today, but when he saw that Zhao Yuanfen was not only strong in martial arts and courageous, but also shrewd, he felt shocked again.
"Poof!" With a sound, Cui Bin fell to his knees and kept kowtowing to Zhao Yuanfen, "Will ...... The general spares his life! Spare your life! ”
The generals didn't believe that Zhao Yuanfen really dared to kill Yu Gang, so none of them came forward to intercede, but now they didn't suspect that Zhao Yuanfen dared to kill Cui Bin, so they quickly knelt down before Zhao Yuanfen gave the order, and pleaded for Cui Bin, "General, you have already killed the commander Yu Gang, please let go of the deputy commander Cui Bin!" General Cui has no credit over the years, and he has also worked hard, so you can spare him this time! ”
Zhao Yuanfen looked at the thousands of soldiers kneeling at his feet, and said, "You asked me to spare Cui Bin, but what if anyone dares to disobey the dispatch and violate military discipline in the future?" Do you want me to spare them one by one and open up to all those who break the law and discipline? Like this, I'm afraid that without the need for the loyal army of the moon, there will be no more loyal soldiers, and it will become a rebellious army, a chaotic journey, how do you want me to explain to the official family at that time! ”
The generals hurriedly said: "General, as long as you spare General Cui, we will be willing to listen to your dispatch from now on, if anyone dares to do anything that violates military discipline, there is no need for your order, we will immediately apologize for our crimes!" ”
Zhao Yuanfen bowed slightly, "Okay, I hope you can remember what you said, otherwise the commander Yu Gang will be an example for you!" ”
Cui Bin heard that Zhao Yuanfen spared himself, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you general, thank you general, the little one will never dare from now on!" As long as the general has an order, the small one will go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up! ”
Zhao Yuanfen smiled, personally helped Cui Bin up, and said in a low voice: "General Cui, I know that Fu Guozhang asked you to do it, and I won't hold a grudge against you because of this." It's just that you'd better hand over that batch of food to the army as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a shortage of food in the army, and something big will happen. ”
Cui Bin couldn't believe his ears, and said after a while: "Will ...... General, you are a fairy child, how can you even know about this! You can rest assured that the grain and grass will be transported to the army in a short time, and the army will never be short of food. ”
Zhao Yuanfen nodded, and for the third time, he boarded the platform and waved the order flag, and this time all the soldiers in the audience obeyed. Thousands of soldiers were uniform, everyone snatched out like a dragon, the momentum was like a tiger, and bursts of murderous aura soared straight into the sky from the martial arts arena.
Fu Yanqing looked at Zhao Yuanfen and smiled with satisfaction, but his eyes turned red for a moment, and old tears kept rolling in his eyes. Fu Xinhuan reached out and gently put her hand on her father's shoulder, and said softly, "Father, what's wrong with you?" You should be glad to be able to take over such a strong team at such a young age! ”
"Daughter, although I am not the son-in-law of my Fu family, I may have such a grandson, and I am very happy to be a father. Can...... But the grandson took over the Zhongwu Army today, and many martial arts masters raised for his father have also died, and there is no power in his father's hands, how can he kill Yuwen Yanyi's traitor again and avenge your tragic death! ”
Fu Xinhuan said: "Father, you keep saying that Yuwen Yanyi killed Zhaoxin, do you have any evidence?" If there is, give me the evidence, and I will definitely transfer it to the official family and let him avenge our Fu family. But if not, it's just your imagination, so don't go on with it. You can rest assured, my daughter will definitely send people to visit this matter, and never let the murderer slip through the net, and the good people will be wronged! ”
Fu Yanqing said: "There is no evidence for my father, but this incident was witnessed by your sister Xin Ying and your maid Qin Xue, can it be fake?" ”
Fu Xinhuan was quite surprised, "What, this matter is what Xin Ying saw with her own eyes?" My sister, let her come to me. ”
Fu Yanqing stomped her feet and said, "Eh, you don't know your sister's temper yet?" She heard that the three thousand loyal soldiers didn't kill Yuwen Yanyi, and they didn't even say hello, and they chased and killed Yuwen Yanyi alone! My father sent a lot of people to look for her, but after several days, not only did she not come back, but not even any of the people who went to look for her came back! I'm afraid of my father...... I'm so scared ......."
Hearing this, Fu Xinhuan also worried about her sister and felt even more sad for her father. But she came for the handover of the loyal army, and now that Zhao Yuanfen has firmly grasped this army, she must hurry back to Tokyo to face the saint, so that Zhao Guangyi can feel at ease.
Fu Yanqing knew what her daughter was thinking, and it was inconvenient to keep her, so she only said: "Xinhuan, if you are in a hurry to go back, take advantage of the darkness to leave." ”
Fu Xinhuan nodded, looked at her father reluctantly for a long time, and finally turned around and left silently. Fu Yanqing looked at her daughter's back as she drifted away, and a tear burst out of her eyes and rolled down her old face......
