Lord of the House

Vol 10 Chapter 87: Tentative

After the Liang family and Huaidong improved their relationship, when rebuilding the old city of Chongzhou, Lin Fu specially allocated a sum of money to repair the old mansion of Hailing Wangfu.

In the early morning, just as Yuan Yan asked her maid to accompany her to go out, she heard the screeching of "ta-ta-ta" horses' hooves stepping on the stones.

Yuan Yan didn't know the news that Lin Fu had returned to Chongzhou. She asked Shi Gaoqiang, the chief of the palace, and Zuo Guitang, who were waiting in front of the steps, to know that Lin Fu had returned to Chongzhou for two days. Wang please be safe.

Yuan Yan had not seen each other for another year, Yuan Yan knew that she should avoid her, but her heart was beating like a deer, and she stood blushing under the eaves and refused to leave...

"Princess Yuan Yan is going out?" Lin Fu got off his horse and asked with a smile when he saw Yuan Yan and the two maids standing in front of the eaves.

Yuan Yan rolled her eyes and replied slyly, "I just came back and was about to enter the gate of the mansion. I saw the majestic horse team. It turned out to be Duke Pengcheng!"

Gao Qiang and Zuo Guitang were inconvenient to expose Princess Yuanyan's lies, and told Lin Fu that the Queen Mother and King Hailing were waiting in Dongyuan, and they walked in with Lin Fu and Yuanyan.

The crisis brought about by Xie Chaozhong's expedition, even in Huaidong, was only understood by a limited dozen people. The Hailing Palace was separated from Jiangning itself by a layer, and they could not feel the urgency of the situation after entering August.

Xie Chaozhong led the troops out of Yuling Pass, cooperating with Huaidong and Jiangzhou, and launched a three-line attack on the Zhejiang and Fujian troops. On the surface, this strategy is not inappropriate without considering the money and grain supply capacity of Jiangning and the complex terrain of western Zhejiang. It seems to be quite clever.

Even if Xie Chaozhong led his troops on the expedition, Chen Xiyan, Zuo Chengmu, Lin Xuwen and others had heated disputes with Yu Xinyuan, Wang Tian, ​​Wang Xueshan and others in the temple, but to outsiders, it was more like a party dispute and a battle between factions within the Wu Party. Conflict - Empress Dowager Liang, who has been immersed in power struggles for half her life, can't see how much crisis Xie Chaozhong's expedition contains.

When the court was unwilling to kneel, Lin Fu entered the room, bowed to the Queen Mother and Hailing Wang Yuanjianhai, sat down and said, "Wei minister Lin Fu is in Xuzhou to supervise the battle, and the army and horses are rushing. Sin, I will go to Zhedong to supervise the war the next day, and I came here to say hello, what are the orders of the queen mother and the prince, I will do it all in Chongzhou?"

"Lin Qing has a heart, and Ai's family lives in Chongzhou, so there's nothing wrong..." The Queen Mother's eyes were not good, and she could only vaguely see the shadow of Lin Bie sitting in front of her. She trembled and reached out to pull Miao who was standing beside her. Shuo said, "Pengcheng has recently added Linzi. Ai's family has nothing to offer. They have prepared a small gadget as a gift. You can give it to Pengcheng..."

Miao Shuo put on the lacquer plate and uncovered the silk cloth. It was a crystal clear jade cicada. Lin Fu thanked: "Thank the Queen Mother for the reward..."

Hailing Wang Yuan Jianhai was much more embarrassed. He sent a long-lived silver lock as a congratulatory gift.

Yuan Jianhai escaped from the chaotic army and went south from Qingzhou to Chongzhou. Even if he had any property with him, he would be exploited by officials such as Shi Gaoqiang, the chief of the palace.

If it wasn't for the improved relationship between the Liang family and Huaidong, Huaidong allocated extra money to improve the life of the palace, Yuan Jianhai would not even be able to wear silk clothes.

"Lin Fu is about to go to eastern Zhejiang to supervise the battle. What does the lord have to warn Lin Fu before leaving?" Lin Fu asked.

Yuan Jianhai was stunned for a moment, he thought that Lin Fu was just a routine greeting, but he didn't expect him to ask about the battle on the southern front!

When Empress Dowager Liang heard this, her wrinkled hands also trembled, and she stopped there in a daze.

"Lin Qing is a good soldier, the leader of the world. What should I say to warn Lin Qing? I'm afraid that I will laugh at the world. When it comes to using soldiers, this king still has to ask Lin Qing for advice." Yuan Jianhai laughed. , He didn't understand why Lin Fu asked this abruptly, he just responded perfunctorily.

After the Jinan city was broken, Yuan Jianhai had a rough fate, and actually experienced much more catastrophe than Emperor Yongxing. After Yuanjian moved to Hailing, he was actually placed under house arrest. Getting along with his aunt Liang Hou every day was no longer the domineering and domineering son of the clan, and the city was also deep.

"Your Majesty is so polite, Lin Fu's ability as a three-legged cat is all about luck," Lin Fu said, "I won't take it out for shame."

"Is Lin Qing worried about Xie Chaozhong's leadership?" the Queen Mother asked.

"It's true." Lin Fu said calmly.

"The combination of strength is strong, and the strength of strength is weak..." Yuan Jianhai saw that his aunt was still talking about this topic, thinking that she might have no intentions, so she said something Lin Bie liked to hear on the topic, about leading troops in Xie Chaozhong On behalf of Huaidong, Shanglin Xuwen held a resolutely opposed attitude. Yuan Jianhai was clear. In Yuan Jianhai's view, the reason why Emperor Yongxing decided to let Xie Chaozhong lead the army was because he felt the threat of Huaidong urgently. .

Of course, there are some things that you won't speak to Lin Fu bluntly, Yuan Jianhai just picks up some big words and turns them into something that should be Lin Fu.

After talking about it for more than half an hour, Lin Fu left, and when he left, he said, "Chongzhou Xiao Xiao has been out frequently recently. In order to consider the safety of the palace, I specially asked the military commander to send additional personnel to be responsible for the peripheral defense of the palace. , also ask the queen mother and the prince not to take it as a surprise..."

Hearing this, Yuan Jianhai was startled again. Chongzhou is under the rule of Lin Fu, although it is impossible to talk about picking up things on the road, but the security is far better than other places, even Yuan Yan often takes the maids to the market. Where is the appearance of Xiao Xiao frequently appearing? Yuan Jianhai subconsciously thought that Lin Fu wanted to strengthen the surveillance of the palace.

After Lin Fu left, he sent Chang Shi Gao away, Yuan Jianhai complained, "I think we haven't done enough as prisoners, and the palace has sent more people..."

"Lin Fu's greeting today is unusual!" Ever since Lin Fu left, the Queen Mother Liang's brows have been frowning, and she asked Miao Shuo beside her, "Did Duke Pengcheng look at Jianhai all the time? "

"It's been a while." Miao Shuo replied, and when he asked the Queen Mother, a thought popped into his mind: Huaidong had established King Ning in the past, and naturally he might have changed to King Lu, but this thought was too scary to tell him not to. Dare to speak.

"It shouldn't be like this!" The Empress Dowager Liang shook her head and muttered to herself, but things were a little strange, which made her doubts go away.

"Jianhai, what do you think about Xie Chaozhong's leadership of the army?" Empress Dowager Liang asked King Hailing again.

"Huaidong took the bandit girl as a concubine, and took over the Huaiyang army. The weight of power has already overwhelmed the world. Yuan Jianwu is eager to set up the imperial army. After the battle of Lu, Yuan Jianhai was always under house arrest, and he never had the slightest affection for Emperor Yongxing.

"Well, that's the truth. Chen Xiyan is still an old minister who can rely on him at least. Wang Xueshan and his like are all followers of the trend. They were not subservient to Gu Wuchen back then, so how can they rely on them now?" Empress Dowager Liang said, "State affairs need to be planned in a long-term perspective, and there is no urgency - first let Yue Lengqiu gain a firm foothold in Jiangzhou, and when the extravagant family is destroyed and Jiangxi is recaptured, then Yue Lengqiu will be called into the court as prime minister, and he will drive Huaidong troops and horses. Going to the northern line to fight against the Yan prisoners, the authority can be slowly taken back. If it is too eager, neither Yue Lengqiu nor Dong Yuan can stand firm against Huaidong, and they will force the Huaidong dog to jump over the wall, which is not a blessing for the Yuan clan. what!"

"What the queen mother said is very true, but it's a pity that Yuan Jianwu couldn't hear these painstaking words!" Yuan Jianhai said through gritted teeth.

*************

Leaving Hailing Palace, Lin Fu rode listlessly back to Xincheng on horseback.

Visiting the Empress Dowager Liang and King Hailing was also a test; strengthening the defense of the Hailing Palace, and after Lin Fu went to Chongzhou, Qin Chengzu was directly responsible for supervising the Hailing Palace, which was also planning for the worst.

Lin Fu didn't expect Yuan Jianhai to be grateful to him. He only needed Yuan Jianhai to be patient. Even if he wanted to perform a play in the future, he had to cooperate with Yuan Jianhai to make it happen.

"Maybe we should fight Dongyang County from Shengzhou!" Lin Fu said to Zhou Pu next to him.

"Fighting Jin'an House has the advantage of fighting Jin'an House, and fighting Dongyang County has the advantage of fighting Dongyang County," Zhou Pu said.

"Your idea is really bad," Lin Fu laughed and said, "but if you really want to make such a decision, you really can't tell Shewenzhuang to guess our bottom! War is no different from a mystery. But so If we go to fight, we can only have a 50% chance of colliding, this estimate is too low, I can't accept it..."

"Compared to headaches, you must stop drinking when you go to eastern Zhejiang," Zhou Pu said, "I have a headache and go to someone's house to drink alcohol later!"

"You, after all, it's better to find a mother-in-law to boil wine for you and have fun," Lin Fu said, "Look at me, I will have four children in a blink of an eye, and it will be very lively when I go back to the house. , Zhengjun looks unfamiliar to me, you hurry up and find another mother-in-law to give birth to, we can still be in-laws in the future..."

"This, this thing is much more troublesome than drinking." Zhou Pu smiled. He had two sons, but they both died when they were young and did not survive. When he was a horse thief in Huaishan, his wife also died early. Since then, one person has been comfortable stealing and has not continued to marry.

Although Zhou Pu was of the same generation as Qin Chengzu and Fu Qinghe, he was the youngest of his generation. He is not yet forty years old.

At that time, Zhou Pu and the others killed Chen Han three times. At one time, there were only more than 40 brothers left, but the family was well concealed, and they were not hunted and killed by the government, and they all moved to Changshan Island afterward. UU reading www. uukanshu.com all settled in Chongzhou, and even Fu Qinghe moved his clan to Chongzhou.

Qin Chengzu's two sons both died in the war, but they were accompanied by their old wives and adopted their nephews. Zhou Pu was alone.

Seeing that Zhou Pu used drinking to evade, Lin Fu laughed. Compared with worrying about war and bizarre power struggles, caring about this kind of thing makes people feel relaxed - Lin Fu said with a smile: "But whether you like it or not, just stay here. After the battle, I appointed you to find a wife, and now I will ask Li Shuyi to build a house for you next to Beiyuan, and the two of us will live next to each other..."

Zhou Pu acted as a dormitory guard, and naturally lived next to the forest tie, so that he could cope with various emergencies at any time. Now he has no fixed residence in Chongzhou.

Zhou Pu smiled and said: "Speaking of mother-in-law, Princess Yuanyan just said nonsense with her face, she clearly wanted to go out, looked at the adults, she turned her head and walked in with the adults, why didn't the adults poke she?"

"...Sigh!" Lin Fu shook his head and sighed, softly, "Who told her to be born in an emperor's family!" I thought to myself that Yuan Yan is seventeen this year, and it is rare for a daughter of the royal family to be seventeen, so Yuan Yan is not welcome It has something to do with the Empress Dowager Liang, not to mention that Emperor Yongxing does not want to think of this group of people from Hailing Mansion, and moreover, which of the powerful families in Jiangning City are willing to marry Yuan Yan?

The innocent and lovely girl from the past overlapped with the image she saw today. Lin Fu thought to himself: Maybe the Hailing Palace has always been like this, Yuan Yan will live more freely, right? It's just that these words can't be asked face-to-face.

Thinking of this, Lin Fuyi was stunned and said to Zhou Pu, "Yes, I'm going to eastern Zhejiang tomorrow. Tonight I'll set up a table in the house to invite you to come over for a drink, so that you don't have to worry about where to go to drink." I The QT room is open!
