Princess Fuyao

Chapter 70
"Yinhu, tell me, what should we do in this first step?"

"I heard that a few days ago, the exiled envoys of the old tribe of the Axian Tartars asked to see the emperor, and Lord Fu suggested that they should be driven out. Back then, Princess Minghui had been married for three years, and the Axian tribe started a war with Dayong. In a fit of anger, the first emperor, The refusal of the princess to return to the country for asylum is all bewitched by King Fu. Think about it, the princess and his wife don’t want to fight, what about others? Now that the war has started, the princess must have been coerced or even held hostage. How can the late emperor blame her for not being able to fight? prevent the war?"

"Well, that's the reason."

"Isn't the killing of the princess and his wife a clear proof? Now, the emperor should pardon Minghui, Dawa and his tribe, support them in fighting against Wojin and Mutie'er, let them rule the various tribes in the northern desert, and make friends with Dayong. , is our northern Xinjiang still afraid of unrest?"

"Makes sense."

"Grandpa Guo has made such a great contribution to the emperor, are you afraid that he will not be able to suppress King Fu? They jump over the wall in a hurry, can't we catch the fox's tail? Then we will overthrow him in one fell swoop."

"Hahaha, okay, it's really scary for young people, I didn't see it."

"General Guo was born in Wu Bian, so it's not easy to interfere in the affairs of the court. The father-in-law is honorable, and he is also the prince's grandfather. The emperor will definitely listen to your correct opinions."

Lord Maoguo told the emperor Yinhu's words, and Emperor Jiaming thought it was very reasonable. Thinking that King Fu suppressed Princess Minghui because Minghui's biological mother had competed for favor with the imperial concubine and was suspected of killing her son, he felt that Maoguo Public opinion is correct.

What's more, most civil servants tend to make peace with each other, thinking that turning hostility into jade and peace in the frontier is a good way to govern the country, not a way to harm the country and the people by stationing troops to exert pressure.

Seeing the emperor's consent, Mao Guogong happily proposed in the court hall that the emperor should receive the envoy of the former Axian Tribe Tartars, but was opposed by most of the dignitaries. There are not many people left, and now it is too difficult for the emperor to help him up. It is better to find a Tartar tribe with some strength. Xungui is looking at the face of King Fu. Although he is a bit unhappy at the moment, he sells tofu The lion falls into the river, the man dies and does not fall down, the lion is old, but the prestige is still there, and no one dares to be an enemy for the time being.

Lord Maoguo called Yinhu and reprimanded him: "It's all your bad idea, which made me feel ashamed in the court. From now on, stay away from me."

"Okay, my lord, why did you say it rashly in the court? At least for now, contact a few supporters, such as: Guo Chenghai, Mingyanghou, etc., and persuade them to support you, and the matter will be successful. Ah, I think, if Guo Chenghai figured it out, you don't need to come forward."

"But where would he agree?"

"He will definitely agree. Think about it, why did the emperor let Chang Zhongyong be the chief assistant? Isn't he afraid that the Guo family's civil and military affairs will threaten the foundation of the dynasty? If he can reduce the power of military positions, he will have stepped up to this level."

"With one piece of paper and one weapon, the Guo family can stand upright. If there is no Guo Chengbo, the Guo family will be the chief assistant, and the current power is useless."

"You are wrong. The current power of the Guo family is due to the emperor's trust in Guo Chenghai. Without Guo Chengbo, Guo Chenghai will be on a higher level. Tell me, the Wang family is suppressed. Who in the capital dares to challenge Guo Chenghai?"

Lord Mao Guo was persuaded, but he was still unconvinced, and argued strongly: "Guo Chenghai just wants to support me, and he is afraid that his family will scold him, right?"

"He will definitely support it. He is afraid that people will say that his family is self-righteous. The emperor is afraid that civil servants have great power, and he is even more afraid of military achievements. His family is big at both ends, which is the most enviable. If he objects, it will appear that he has ulterior motives. Call two people to persuade him, in order to avoid suspicion, he will not refuse."

"Yes, yes, but who shall I ask to go with me?"

"Oh, Chen Guogong's daughter is the concubine, your in-laws, he certainly doesn't like King Fu's power over the sky, and Qian Yunshan, Minister of Rites, his son is the chief history of the prince's mansion, so he naturally hopes that the prince will come out and suppress the matter of King Fu He's willing to do it."

"Although what you said is correct, the emperor doesn't like forming factions the most. This matter is obvious. If the emperor finds out, it will cause trouble."

"Don't go there in person, Duke. I'll recommend you a master and let him go. This is a new face. Most of the court officials don't know each other, so he won't cause trouble for you."

"Well, if this doesn't work out, I won't talk to you anymore."

"Okay, just relax."

Yinhu not only arranges people to work for Duke Mao, but also scouts around all day long, so naturally he has no time to see Fuyao.

------------------

Duke Mao Guo was busy fighting against King Fu, so the matter of the auxiliary machine battalion was left behind. Except for Huang He who still gritted his teeth and insisted on doing his own thing well, everyone else was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Fuyao is in good health, and it's time for Yaolan's marriage.

The Ji family knew about Dahu's identity, and Yaoqian was very worried, but the Lu family planned to hope that Dahu would get promoted and make a fortune, so that he would be lucky in the future.How can a woman not have a hero complex in her heart?Yaolan's love for Duhu has sublimated to an unprecedented height.As the wedding day approached, her face was full of shyness and joy that could not be concealed.

Ordinarily, when a small family gets married, the groom doesn't have to go to greet the bride, but Dahu insists on going through this in order to show his respect and love for Yaolan. Seeing that his son-in-law is handsome and handsome, he can't wait to satisfy her vanity. It would have been better if the incident had gotten bigger, and regardless of Fuyao's objections, he firmly stood by the Li family's side.

If on the day Aunt Huo died, her accomplices were really following her, Duhu would have been exposed, Fuyao was worried, but Li Jibao let her relax: "There was a murder in the inner city of the capital, and they are not so bold. come back a second time."

"But I still think something's going to happen."

"Let's just be careful."

Liang Mingrui also visited Fuyao, and he also said that Liang Bingwang was dying, and he would definitely get rid of Yinhu and Dahu, but Dahu loved Yaolan and didn't want her to complete life's major events wrongly. While urging, no one listened to Fuyao's words.

When that day came, Dumb refused to put on the mask, and made up to look like another person. Fuyao repeatedly assured that his sister knew about it and would never vent his anger.Dumb was still stalemate and refused to nod.

"Li Linhu, if you dare to go to my house to welcome the bride like this, I will lock up my sister and prevent you from leaving, so that you will not be able to marry a wife. If you don't believe me, let's fight together and see who counts."

Yinhu and Xini persuaded his brother: "You just listen, otherwise, when the time comes, she will play a small temper and delay the auspicious time, what should I do?"

Du Hu felt very depressed, looked at Yin Hu, and sarcastically said: "Your daughter-in-law has not been married yet, and her heart has begun to be biased. Now she is suffering from a serious disease of wife management."

Yinhu knocked on Dahu's head: "If you talk too much, I won't be your best man."

Duo shrank his neck, stretched out his hand to stroke his head, and muttered, "I'm transformed into another person, what if she refuses to follow me? What if I have to pretend to be like this from now on? You Don't even think about it for me."

Fu Yao stomped his feet: "I just think for you, that's why I want you to be like this. Aren't you afraid that those villains will take advantage of your wedding and do something? You don't cherish this humble life, my sister is still alive."

Du Hu's expression was ugly. Although he liked Yao Lan very much, he wished he could get married and stay by his side, but he was so old that he refused to marry because he was afraid that he would hurt the woman he liked. Fuyao's words touched his heart, and he couldn't help but remain silent. up.If it wasn't for his father wanting him to get married earlier, Du Hu would have planned to postpone the wedding date.

Seeing that Dug finally complied, Fuyao helped him put on makeup by herself. Since there was no time, she had no choice but to wear men's clothing and followed the procession to her home.

Only wealthy families can invite drummers to blow and beat all the way majesticly. For family affairs like Dahu, you can only go out and set off firecrackers.

The ancients were superstitious, no matter how poor people are, they would light firecrackers in order to drive away evil spirits.On the way, occasionally ordering a few firecrackers is also for this purpose.

Dahu's home is in the west of the city, quite far from Fuyao's home, and the crowded houses along the way have crowded the road into a narrow alley.Even if we try our best to take the avenue to welcome relatives, small alleys are unavoidable. Just like now, when we were walking on the wide Guangji Street, a mourning team came out in front of us carrying a coffin. Those who have a happy event are afraid that the atmosphere of celebration will affect the peace of the deceased, and those who have a happy event are afraid that the atmosphere of funerals will affect the happiness of the new couple.

The coffin was carried on the eight-lift frame, covering the road tightly, and only the happy party avoided it.There is a small alley in front of it. Yinhu and Dahu had walked to Ji's house. Now, they had to turn here. Through this small alley, they can come to a street in the north. There are fewer people than Guangji Street, and the road looks correspondingly It is spacious and a good travel route.When we walked to the ancestral hall of the Wei family, we saw the high wall of the ancestral hall on the left, and the garden of the big family on the right. Not to mention the high wall, there was a dense row of old elm trees, and the dense shade covered the alley in darkness. almost.

Fuyao heard the sound of a bowstring vibrating from the canopy of the tree, before she could make a sound, Yinhu who was walking behind had already pulled her to the base of the wall.This is a dead end.

The people who greeted the relatives were all Lianjiazi, and all of them made moves. General Guo had already warned everyone to be careful when Aunt Huo's incident happened a while ago. Even when welcoming the relatives, everyone was carrying weapons.

The arrow feathers shot down like rain with the whizzing sound of the wind. The alley was very narrow, and everyone walked very close together. It was impossible to use it if they were crowded together. Hearing a few "ouches", Yinhu knew that he had been hit by an arrow , very anxious, tore off the muslin jacket he was wearing, twisted it into a stick shape three times and two times, swung it round and kicked on the tree body, and rushed up. The people on the tree looked at him and pointed their targets at him. Fuyao saw a figure swaying among the thick leaves, facing that direction was a sleeve arrow, and heard a scream, a person wearing a dark green silk shirt fell from above.This guy was also nimble enough, hooking a big tree branch with his foot at the very moment.Fuyao didn't wait for him to jump up the tree, stretched out his hand and shot another arrow, which just hit the leg, and amidst the screams, a person fell down.

At this time, Yinhu had already rushed to the crown of the tree, and another man in green fell from the tree.

People in the alley, those with better skills like Du Hu and Han Chen, all rushed up like Yin Hu, while those with less skills hurriedly hid in the corner where the arrow feathers were not easy to reach.There was a clever man who picked up the fallen crossbow and shot arrows at the place where the shadows of the trees were shaking. Although no one fell down, they heard several muffled groans. The arrow feathers shot from above were obviously sparse, and the people below hurried Step up, some shoot arrows upwards, and some help their companions bandage up.
