Eunuch's professionalism

"My subordinate understands. In addition, some men and women who are proficient in various skills that I have trained recently will secretly go to Beijing. I have asked His Highness for instructions on where to go. His Highness said that I will make arrangements for you and then submit it." These people were all from childhood. Cultivation, now entering Beijing can be regarded as a great help, he handed a piece of paper to Fu Chen, "The one with the name written on it is one of his subordinates, you can trust it."

There is nothing strange about Fu Chen. If Su Yu hadn't had the ambition to cultivate his own person, he would not have liked this person at the beginning.

Taking the paper with some names written on it, Fu Chen glanced at it and put it in his sleeve.

"I'll go and see in a few days, how is your hand injury?" Pointing to Suyu's bandaged hand huddled in her clothes, with ten fingers connected to her heart, as a well-known young lady in the capital, her finger was injured, It almost cut off his way, and fortunately Xin Yi is no longer there, so he doesn't need to serve anyone.

"It's nothing serious, Mr. Lao is worried." Su Yu nervously covered the wound with her sleeve.

"Who did it?"

"My lord," Suyu looked at Fu Chen, and suddenly lowered her head, "Please take care of yourself, if you have an accident in the capital, you can come to Zhenguo, and my subordinates will protect you."

"There is no absolutely safe place in this world." It's the same everywhere, as long as you want to control your destiny, you have to fight for your life.

"Son!"

"Okay, I have my own plan, so I don't need to repeat it."

This was probably the last time Suyu met before leaving. I don't know when we will see each other again, but they are all moving towards their goals.

Fu Chen came to the courtyard of Shao Huachi in Dongyu Lane, and it was already late when he went to see Shao Huachi.

"Have you seen all three of them?"

"Yes, one of them, I'm afraid he will die soon." It was a patient brought from the west.

"After welcoming the Jin army, I will look for an opportunity to tell my father, but I am worried that someone will make a fuss about it."

With the desolation of the Second Prince's faction, it can be said that the eldest prince and the Ninth Prince are fighting against each other in the court, but the Second Prince's faction seems to have died down.

It's just that it's low-key, but it has such an unusual taste.

While Fu Chen was meditating, Shao Huachi gave a small package, Fu Chen didn't know what it was, and after opening it, he was speechless.

Inside are some of the only things left by the peasant family. For example, it took a year for the Fu family to exchange a little grain for a little cloth. It is estimated that Fu Chen’s tall figure made a piece of clothing, and the second brother and third sister wove it by themselves. A small straw woven thing, a tuft of hair in a small cloth bag, tied with a red string.

"That's your youngest sister. She had nothing for you, so she cut off her own hair and asked Zhu Liangpeng to bring it back. Zhu Liangpeng said that the girl Shen Yun looks a bit like you, little carrot head." Shao Huachi explained.

Fu Chen remembered that before he left, his sister was still in his mother's womb, stroking these objects, with tenderness in his eyes.

Shao Huachi didn't bother him either, such a Fu Chen was full of warmth.

After putting down the package, Fu Chen suddenly stood up and bowed down to Shao Huachi.

"What are you doing, get up!" Shao Huachi stood up.

Fu Chen kowtowed, and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for helping the slave's family to tide over the difficulties. The slave has no repayment, only a useful body to repay."

Fu Chen's words penetrated into every corner of his body, and never once were they so close to Fu Chen's heart.

Shao Huachi never really laughed, at least he never laughed without any sarcasm, he was just purely happy, from birth till now, counting tonight made him not know how to express his excitement.

He had a high level of force, he insisted on supporting Fu Chen, took another step back, and bowed to salute.

"In the future, I hope you can tell me more about it." This was the first time he called Fu Chen like this.

It has been a while since I saw His Highness the Ninth Prince outside the Imperial Study Room.

Fu Chen is currently serving meals for the Ninth Prince Shao Ziyu at the Eleventh Yanjiu Courtyard in the East of Longyu.

Curtains are hung everywhere in Yanjiu courtyard. When the wind blows, the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus outside the courtyard floats with the wind, which is refreshing.

This is also the errand that Fu Chen promised outside the imperial study room. He is eating those meals at the moment, trying them one by one. Shao Ziyu is not a wasteful person, and there are not many dishes, but he does not have a small kitchen. It was delivered from the dining room, so the step of serving food is required.

There are teapots and tea sets on the table, and a osmanthus plant in the porcelain vase. There are few attendants coming and going, and it is extremely quiet. It doesn't look like the palace, but like a small courtyard of your own. The calligraphy and painting of "clean and inaction" on the wall , It seems to indicate the mentality of the owner of this room.

Shao Ziyu looked at Fu Chen's quiet face, and saw that his movements were neither too fast nor too slow, every movement seemed to be well-planned, very well-regulated, showing respect for the people above him everywhere, it was indeed pleasing to the eye everywhere, such People are like air, which seems natural and indispensable.

Seventh brother has such talents under his command, no wonder my dear, he didn't intend to snatch such a person, and asking Fu Chen to serve him was just a gesture to tell Shao Huachi that your sincerity in wanting to surrender is really not enough.

Party feathers are a delicate matter, especially among princes.In the past, Shao Huachi had no value in wooing, so naturally no one was fighting for him, but as he was getting more and more attention in front of the emperor, the second prince's gang was dying, and now the boss is trying his best to compete with him for the seventh.

This is also the reason why Shao Ziyu is eager to win him over. He is currently mopping up the court officials who are related to Shen Xiao, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is watching this matter. He can't do much, and he offended many people. The second person who pulled off the horse, he is now missing a right-hand man.

Fu Chen took the initiative to take over the errand at this time, which can be regarded as adding fuel to the flames of the Seventy-Nine Alliance.

After testing the dishes and confirming that all the dishes are non-toxic, Fu Chen began to prepare dishes for Shao Ziyu.

He didn't hate the clipping, "Who did you ask about the taste of this hall?"

"Your Highness loves to drink tea. He has an outstanding literary talent. He is known as an elegant scholar to everyone in the Jin Dynasty. It is also an extremely healthy way. Even the Empress Dowager appreciates it a lot. Those meaty and greasy things should not be touched." Fu Chen said again. , "The slave speculates without authorization, I hope His Highness forgive me."

"What a tricky slave, I can still convict you after you say that, let's continue serving dishes." Shao Ziyu laughed, not seeming angry.Who wouldn't love to be able to serve his servant so attentively.

His preferences are well known, and this is what he wants to show.

When the dishes were finished, all the servants withdrew.

Fu Chen started to make tea for Shao Ziyu, his movements were smooth and smooth, it looked like he had learned it before.

"What can Seventh Brother tell you?"

"Your Highness said that you can observe some of the followers of the second prince in the court recently, and maybe you can find something."

"Second brother, he has already been grounded, what kind of trouble can he cause?" Of course, artificial things cannot be ruled out.

"I think His Highness the First Prince is more anxious than you, Your Highness." Isn't His Highness the most anxious to prevent the Second Prince from turning over?

Shao Ziyu nodded, indeed, if he could find out something and reveal it to the boss, he would be able to pick himself out, and they would fight each other to facilitate him.

"It's just that Seventh Brother's heart is really elusive." These words were a temptation.

Test Shao Huachi's heart of surrender.

What can the Seventh Prince give to the Ninth Prince? There is no one in Shaohuachi's court, and the people have no reliable influence.

The rest is the emperor's favor, but after all, there are too few bargaining chips.

Fu Chen knew that he should reveal some fundamentals, otherwise he might not be trusted.

"Actually, it's not difficult for Your Highness to want to be sincere. This servant knows some little secrets of His Highness Seventh, and has a shallow idea. I wonder if I can tell you?" Fu Chen brought the brewed tea in front of Shao Ziyu, knelt down and said softly.

Since sending away the two missions that suffered both losses, the palace has been quiet for a while, and the Empress Dowager's illness has also improved, presenting a peaceful state.

Next, welcoming the Jin army is the top priority.

With the drug of the fourth prince, the queen mother greeted the returning army with the emperor as scheduled.

This time the war with Qiangwu can be described as a tragic victory, and then they exchanged protons in exchange for a short-term peace, but even a tragic victory is still a victory for Jin, so it was also publicized and encouraged, and the capital held a grand welcome ceremony.

It's just that the empress dowager's situation is a thorn in the emperor's heart. Ji Sangguo, this account will definitely not be settled so easily.

This matter was supervised by the eldest prince, and it was unanimously approved by the inside and outside, which further enhanced his prestige.

But this is not the end of this expedition to the west. Everyone has forgotten that, apart from those soldiers with healthy limbs, there is also a group of people who have been forgotten in the corner.The wounded army was not the main army that officially returned to Luanjing. They arrived after the welcoming ceremony, and they did not go to the same place as the main army.

The wounded army is a team of soldiers and generals who were injured on the battlefield, or were disabled or unable to move. All the glamorous awards will not be given to them, and they will only be left with some pensions and military orders to send back to their hometown. If they are well-raised and still have combat effectiveness, they will continue to be expropriated. If they are not good, they will be like this for the rest of their lives.

The people of Jin State have become numb to this, which is the aftermath of the war under the system.

But is it really numb?

The people's aspirations and the people's prosperity and happiness are the signs of a country's prosperity.

And to meet the wounded army, the princes are often sent by the emperor to do some superficial work. This is what the princes avoid the most. Who would like to see so many people with missing arms and legs, especially when there were crowds in the past few years? He rebelled against the army and clashed with imperial soldiers, resulting in numerous casualties and long-standing grievances.

In previous years, this matter was like a cuju, being kicked around, and no one took over.

This time Cuju fell on the head of the Seventh Prince, and there were quite a few people watching the show.

It was the second prince who went to appease him three years ago, and he did not do it kindly. Not only did he withhold the pension from the court, he even drove away the group of people without letting the doctors summoned by the people go to treat them. What's the matter? The second prince was just going for a formality to greet him, but he felt fresh and ran down. A wounded soldier limped over and begged him for some food. The way they walked back was too tiring. Well, the imperial court did not allow the wounded soldiers to enter the city. If it wasn't for the little pension that they could go home to support their families, they wouldn't be able to persist here, but unexpectedly, the second prince suspected that the man had blood on his body and stained his clothes. Yue pushed it away, but unexpectedly the man was so hungry that he was dizzy and fell down. He just hit his head on the ground and was crushed by a stone on the ground and died on the spot. People also died, which aroused public outrage.You said that our husbands/fathers/brothers/sons were requisitioned for the court and the country, and now some of them are dead and some are injured, and you will drive us away without giving us any way to survive, and even shot and killed those who came back from the war General, how do we survive this?

So this group of people attacked the second prince and his group defenselessly, with no eyesight in their fists and feet, and it hurt a lot.

Hearing that the second prince was injured by mistake, Emperor Cheng of Jin was furious, and punished those who gathered to fight and hurt the royal family with sticks. Others who did not participate were doubled in compensation, and a relatively loose tax policy was given, which can be regarded as subdued to a certain extent. Public outrage, but others are ignored.

This errand is not pleasant.

This year, it was the same. Shao Huachi and Fu Chen stood on the city wall at the west entrance of the city gate in armored suits, looking at the past.

Watching a group of people slowly approaching here under the setting sun, their speed is very slow.

Under the city wall, there are old and weak women and children who are looking forward to, and children waiting for their father and grandfather to return. The expectations in their eyes are too easy to move people.

"Your Highness, the wounded army has arrived."

"Yes." Shao Huachi kept looking at the wounded soldiers returning from a distance, with the flag of Jin fluttering above, and the halo of the setting sun stained his brown eyes, bright and moving, "Fu Chen, you said they have complain?"

Yes, why not.

It's just that they dare not, they must numb themselves.

"Most of the people are simple and have simple wishes. They just want to live. If they are not given a way to survive, they will desperately."

"They fought for the conquest of Jin, and they shouldn't be treated like this." The wounded army is also an army.He thought of Zhu Liangpeng's coming back to describe the situation in the west, and the situation of Fu Chen's family. If Fu Chen was still in that family, he would be drafted as well, and he would go to war like this, waiting for his hopeless return.

Shao Huachi felt his heart shrink suddenly, and suddenly seemed to understand the thoughts and feelings of these family members under the wall.

"Go and prepare hot porridge and tents, and then call all the doctors in the capital to pay the bill to me, and I will pay double the money." Shao Huachi ordered the generals behind him, and E Hongfeng led a team to meet the wounded army today.

At this moment, the general who is following orders is called Liang Ce, who is the little soldier who once met Fu Chen at Di Xing because he was imprisoning Qi Gui, and now he is doing well under E Hongfeng's men, which is a rise compared to before. Got two jobs.

"But, this is not in line with the rules." I have never been treated like this when welcoming wounded soldiers, so what if the higher-ups ask about the crime.

"Rules are made by people. Since I am the top general this time, all you have to do is listen to the order and do what I say immediately, fast!" Shao Huachi said sharply, and Liang Ce immediately took orders to supervise.

Fu Chen looked at Shao Huachi, as if he didn't know this man. Originally, he proposed this job to Shao Huachi, but he didn't think that Shao Huachi, who lived in the inner court environment all the year round, would understand the folks. He just wanted to use this matter to add some bargaining chips to him. A political show.

But why does he want a monarch who only weighs the pros and cons? If he treats each other sincerely, the people will definitely repay you, Your Highness.

"Do you also think I did something wrong?" Seeing that Fu Chen was silent, Shao Huachi asked.

Fu Chen shook his head, slowly, with a smile on his face, a monarch who is willing to truly consider the people is the one worthy of allegiance.

"Your Majesty, do what you want."
