Chapter 307
After returning from the palace, Zuo Fu slept at home for two days.

Long-term fatigue and the emperor's precautions made her feel exhausted physically and mentally.Simply, she didn't have anything to do in the future, she just slept at home.

As the child's mother, Liu Runiang sensitively sensed that Zuo Fu had something on her mind.

After entering the palace, it will be like this when he comes back. Sure enough, his father's speculations are true. Does the emperor intend to make a fuss about Fu'er's marriage?

With something on his mind, he called his old father again. After some discussions, everyone in Liu sighed, "It seems that as long as His Majesty doesn't nod for a day, Fu'er won't be able to marry."

"Why?!"

Liu Runiang said with a trembling voice: "Back then, the husband took such a risk to take him in. Once he was found out, he would die! Our Zuo family didn't ask for anything in return, but just asked for a better life! How come Fu'er is married now? Not allowed?! Does this still have a conscience?!"

"He is no longer that down and out prince, but a high-ranking son of heaven, thunder, rain and dew are all favored by you."

The head of the Liu family sighed, "It is rumored that Fu'er is the reincarnation of the lunar star, a living god. People sitting in that position can't be suspicious. Let alone Fu'er, but the people are stupid. Being taken advantage of by someone with a heart can damage the foundation of the dynasty. Isn't the White Lotus Sect an example?"

Liu Runiang wept and said aggrievedly: "Then how can I compare with Fu'er when I'm doing something later? My husband risked his life to fight for military exploits. Fu'er worked hard in Wu Jin's tenure. The child was originally thin, but now he's getting thinner fast. There is no one in shape. I wiped her back the night before, and she didn't have any flesh. Instead of being suspected like this, it's better to resign and go home, and become a rich man."

"It would be great if that's the case."

Everyone Liu shook his head, "Just leaving the officialdom, the saint is not at ease again."

He sighed, "Forget it, let's take one step at a time. You failed to give birth to a son for Dayou, but you gave birth to a daughter, but you are honoring your ancestors. Everything has a price. Maybe this is the price Fu'er has to pay."

After a pause, he continued: "Later, a child from the Zuo family will be adopted under Fu'er's name, so Dayou will not be the last."

"What? Adoption?!"

Liu Runiang's eyes widened, "Father, what do you mean?"

"Fu'er is 19 years old. People are as old as her. The children are four or five years old. They are already old girls. And the saint doesn't know when he will approve Fu'er's marriage. If he keeps refusing, do you want Fu'er to be alone? Are you going to grow old? Zuo Lian's younger brother has also reached the age of marriage, you can find a marriage for him, if there are two sons in the future, adopt one to Fu'er, I think his mother will agree."

"I will never marry..."

Liu Runiang wiped her tears and said, "So... Fu'er's life is too hard."

"The Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years. Let alone Fu'er, a county lord with a different surname, even the prince has never obtained the fiefdom of Nanzhili. His Majesty has given Fu'er enough glory, and even gave her the same background as Jinshi, so that she can be a If you become an official, you will lose what you gain..."

"I can't get enough of it.

Liu Runiang said rather angrily: "Our family is loyal to His Majesty, so we should guard against us with a little gossip now, I..."

"Otherwise, how can you be called a loner?"

Master Liu sighed, "Don't say these words again, so as not to bring disaster."

After a pause, he continued: "Fu'er is a smart child who will figure it out. Let her be lazy for a few days, and you can make more food for her that she likes to eat, and don't go to the shop these few days. She is This family can't stay for a few days, and I don't know when we will see each other again. The gift of returning to Beijing to report on work won't come every time..."

Liu Runiang's heart tightened, and she said in a trembling voice, "My daughter knows."

Two days later, the emperor summoned Zuofu again.It was still in Qianqing Palace, but this time it was not only the emperor alone, but also several ministers from the cabinet.

Seeing this situation, Zuo Fu immediately cheered up.

"Zuo Aiqing, the Qing court agreed to negotiate a peace with us, and the river was ruled."

Zhu Cihong seemed very happy, "Wang Qinian, who went to negotiate a peace, made me go faster and sent back the content of the peace."

"Ah, congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Zuo Fu hurriedly bent down to congratulate, "In this way, my Ming Dynasty will have a chance to recuperate. Your Majesty can rectify the army and horses, improve the people's livelihood, and when the army is strong and horses are strong, then send troops to the north to restore China."

"What Lord Zuo said is absolutely true."

Zeng Ying smiled and said: "With this opportunity, it is just to clarify the administration of officials and vigorously promote high-yielding rice. When the time is right, we will go to the Northern Expedition."

The faces of the elders were full of joy, even Wang Duo, who was not good at talking, was also full of joy.That's right, Daming is here, their glory and wealth are there, and no one wants to be a slave in their bones.It's good if you can't be a slave.

"It's all thanks to Ai Qing."

Zhu Cilang smiled and said: "That's why I want to reward you."

"Master Zuo repelled tens of thousands of Qing troops with [-] defenders, captured Duduo and other noble Tartars alive, and forced the Qing court to negotiate a peace. Such a feat should be rewarded heavily."

Qian Qianyi arched his hands and said to Zhu Cilang: "I hope that Your Majesty will not stick to the worldly etiquette, and reward Master Zuo well."

Zuo Fu's eyelids twitched, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Which song is this sung?
Why did this group of people who were always on guard against him suddenly talk to him?Zuo Fu didn't feel that he had any domineering air, and he didn't feel that the Qing court negotiated a peace, and they were friendly to him.It will suddenly happen, there must be some conspiracy involved!
"Qian Aiqing is right."

Zhu Cilang smiled, "But before that, I would like to ask Mr. Zuo, if you are promoted, when will the magistrate of Wujin County be replaced by who?"

Zuo Fu was taken aback, looking at Zhu Cihong with surprise in his eyes, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"I have discussed with several elders, and I want to give you a knighthood."

"A knighthood?"

"good."

"It's not an exaggeration to confer such credits. There is Qin Liangyu's example before, and there are examples to be found."

Zhu Cihong seemed to be in a good mood.Zuo Fu had known him for so long, and it was the first time he felt that his laughter was so hearty. It was a laughter from the bottom of his heart, which showed that the Qing court was willing to negotiate peace, and he was really happy.

If Zhu Cihong hadn't become wary of her, Zuo Fu would be very happy right now.After all, from the first day she crossed over, the sword of Damos was hanging over her head.Now that the Qing people are finally willing to negotiate a peace, they can breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master Zuo, why don't you thank me soon?"

Zeng Ying smiled and said, "Your Majesty intends to make you a Duke!"

Zoff was stunned.

"Duke?"

"Yes!"

Zhu Cilang said with a smile: "Sister Fu'er and Master Zuo have treated my Zhu family with kindness. This kind of credit can't be overstated. Not only that, but I will also make your father the Duke of the country, one family and two countries, that's the only way This honor can only express my gratitude.”

"so……"

Zuo Fu said: "Can I go back to Nanjing? I don't need to be an official anymore?"

"I'm afraid this won't work."

Seeing that Zuo Fu remained unmoved by the Duke, Zhu Cihong felt comforted.

No matter what outsiders say, Sister Fu'er really has no ambitions.

"I plan to make you the Duke of Zhen and your father the Duke of Jing."

"How does this make it?!"

Zuo Fu was shocked, "This Duke of Zhen is Wu Zong's self-proclaimed title, I have never had such a title in Ming Dynasty..."

"It is precisely because there is no Zhen Guogong in the title of my Ming clan, only Wu Zong once proclaimed himself, so this title is honored."

Qian Qianyi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This is really the great grace of the emperor, Mr. Zuo will be the first female princess in thousands of years!"

"And your father will also be granted the honorary title of Duke of Jingguo. It is very rare in our Ming Dynasty to see a duke of two countries."

Wang Duo also echoed with a smile, which made Zuo Fu more puzzled.

This old man was still torn up with himself in the court a few days ago, how could he be so polite in a blink of an eye?

There is a conspiracy!
Just thinking about it, he heard Lu Daqi, a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts, Minister of the Ministry of War, say: "This year we will open the sea, Mr. Zuo is capable of writing and military, and he is the one who can control the sea trade. Therefore, we will discuss with His Majesty and let us Mr. Zuo went to Qiongzhou to preside over the overall situation of Kaihai."

It turned out that I was waiting for myself here!

Zuo Fu sneered in his heart, then glanced at Zhu Cihong, seeing Zhu Cihong nodding slightly to himself, he bowed and said: "Zuo Fu is afraid that things will not be done well, but if the lords and His Majesty trust, I am willing to give it a try."

Wang Duo raised his lips, a glint of complacency flashed in his eyes.

It's hard to justify such credit.It has been delayed for so long, and the agreement and documents have come out, if the reward is not awarded, the hearts of the people in the world will be hurt.And Zuo Fu's reward can also inspire the morale of the righteous men and the people in the north.

Since both the left and the right can't evade, why bother to be generous?It's just that behind this person is the Zuo Family's army, so it won't work if you don't guard against it.

Since His Majesty is determined to make her a Duke, why not take a step back and fulfill her honor at the price of Zuo Fu going to Qiongzhou?

Separate their father and daughter, separated by the ends of the earth, even if they want to overcome the storm, they will not be able to overcome it!And those rumors, can they let go again!

As long as the hoe is well swung, how can there be a corner that cannot be dug?Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they are very difficult to eradicate.

The so-called gentleman is magnanimous, and the villain is always sad.When Wang Duo was proud, Lu Daqi and Zeng Ying were really happy for Zuo Fu.

Yes, Qiongzhou is very poor, full of miasma, and Shengli often makes troubles.But His Majesty gave Zuo Fuling the power of military administration, maritime affairs and sea trade.

Although he is the magistrate, he is the top leader on Qiongzhou Island.

I believe that with Zuofu's ability and the help of her master, she will be able to show her skills when she goes to Qiongzhou.And she was the emperor Rong En who became an official. Although she won such a big victory, many people still refused to accept it.

If you go to Qiongzhou, develop that poor land, and do a good job in maritime trade, then the resistance to returning to Beijing to become an official in the court will be much less.

Both Lu Daqi and Zeng Ying are extremely upright people.Although he also grew up reading sage books, he is not a pedantic person.They saw Zuo Fu's ability, and also saw her pure heart for the country and the people. For such a young man, even a woman, they are willing to help her and entrust her to a higher position .

Especially her teacher's knowledge.

Zeng Ying had a hunch that if this knowledge was developed, it would surely create a dynasty for all generations!Complete the immortal feat!
