Chapter 512: Cousin of the Fu Family
"Little brother Wang Zhongying visits his brother." After King Wei's nephew entered the door, he bowed in a proper manner, bent down without bending his knees, and hugged his fists almost to the ground, which was a relatively heavy etiquette.
This Wang Zhongying is in his early twenties, with a white face and beard, red lips and white teeth, and he is indeed a handsome young offspring.
Li Zhongyi heard that Wang Zhongying was called a brother, and couldn't help but smile slightly, this kid was clever, and he immediately brought him closer to the Fu family.
Due to the same expedition to Goryeo and a more tacit relationship, Li Zhongyi and Fu Zhaoxin have always been equals. This Wang Zhongying seems to be Uncle Fu Guo's cousin, and it is reasonable to call Li Zhongyi a brother.
"Since you are faithful's cousin, then you are not an outsider, sit down." Li Zhongyi put on an amiable attitude and smiled and motioned for Wang Zhongying to sit down.
"Thank you, brother." Wang Zhongying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, before he came, he was worried that Li Zhongyi would not be able to speak if he was holding the shelf of the political affairs hall.
Now, since Li Zhongyi recognizes him as Fu Zhaoxin's cousin, Wang Zhongying has some heartfelt words, so it is easier to speak.
This time, the imperial court actually sent the prime minister to the Daimyo Mansion to mourn Fu Yanqing's old wife, and while giving enough face, it was also tantamount to pushing the Fu family, a well-known relative, to the forefront.
If, when Li Zhongyi announced the edict, he deliberately made an obstruction, and the old and young of the Fu family would probably lose face.
In fact, Li Zhongyi, the real prime minister of the political hall, is above 10,000 people under one person, and his status is naturally higher than that of Fu Yanqing, who has the titles of envoy and prince.
Before coming to Sangshu. Fu Yanqing once carefully told Wang Zhongying that the family face was involved, and he must not provoke or offend Li Zhongyi.
So. Before meeting Li Zhongyi, Wang Zhongying pondered all the way, and finally thought of a good way: pull up Fu Zhaoxin's tiger skin and be a banner.
Sure enough, after meeting, Wang Zhongying found out that Li Zhongyi was indeed a young prime minister who missed his old love.
"When my brother comes. Brother Xincheng can have a book trust? Li Zhongyi quietly squeezed Wang Zhongying, Wang Zhongying's face changed, and he immediately felt panicked.
Wang Zhongying came in a hurry. How can he have a handwritten letter from Fu Zhaoxin to Li Zhongyi?
Li Zhongyi saw Wang Zhongying pause, and knew that this little guy didn't tell the truth. The reason is actually quite simple. Li Zhongyi traveled north from Kaifeng City. Fu Zhaoxin once sent someone to his prime minister's office and handed over a letter written by himself.
Fu Zhaoxin's status in the Fu family has always been very embarrassing, he is not the eldest son, and there is no way to inherit the family business, so he was forced to leave the capital and take refuge under the wing of his sister.
Fu Yanqing's title of King of Wei, although not a hereditary iron hat king. However, Chai Rong had just ascended the throne in the first year of Xiande. In order to envelop the Fu family, a great warlord and relative in the north, a clear edict was issued, allowing each generation of the descendants of the Fu family to be demoted to one rank.
That is to say, once Fu Yanqing goes to the West Heaven, Fu Zhaoxin's eldest brother, the prince of the Wei Palace, Fu Zhaoyuan, can attack the renamed county prince.
Fu Zhaoyuan can live on the shadow of his ancestors, Fu Zhaoxin is not so cheap, so far, he has obtained an earl title, or followed Li Zhongyi to Goryeo to mix up military achievements, and only then did he get it.
Li Zhongyi knew very well in his heart that with Fu Zhaoxin's military exploits at that time, it was definitely not a problem to be crowned a marquis.
The problem is that the marquis of the Great Zhou is different from the earl, and the marquis is already qualified to set up another portal, obviously, Fu Zhaoxin's lack of marquis has a lot to do with the secret suppression of the Fu family.
The reason why Li Zhongyi is very polite to Wang Zhongying is, in fact, mainly because of Fu Zhaoxin's face. The reason is also very simple, after Fu Zhaoxin took over the training of the 3,000 party cavalry, he has always taken the countermeasure of releasing water to raise fish, and the affairs of the army are presided over by quite Chaoyong and others promoted by Li Zhongyi.
That's right, Li Zhongyi has always regarded military power as more important than the sky. Don't underestimate these 3,000 party cavalry, at a critical moment, they may be able to play a huge role in turning things around.
Li Zhongyi didn't intend to embarrass Wang Zhongying, seeing that he was a little embarrassed, he simply took the initiative to divert the topic and asked with a smile: "Brother, do you have a table?" ”
Wang Zhongying couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Zhongyi didn't dig deeper, and replied loudly: "Back to my brother's words, the younger brother is far-reaching." ”
Li Zhongyi nodded slightly, and said in his heart, it was really a coincidence, it was Zhiyuan, and he immediately thought of Deng Shichang, a national hero and a heroic martyr.
"Brother Zhiyuan traveled as far as Xiangzhou, and he was tired of saddle horses all the way, which was really hard." Li Zhongyi's words changed, "I don't know if King Wei is an old man, what is his explanation?" ”
Wang Zhongying was also a little dazed by Li Zhongyi, and after being reminded, he slapped his forehead and complained to himself: "Alas, the younger brother saw his brother's superb demeanor, but he forgot to get down to business for a while, he really should be beaten, he should be beaten." ”
Li Zhongyi saw Wang Zhongying holding a letter in both hands, stepped forward quickly, handed it over respectfully, and reached out to take it, opened the letter in front of Wang Zhongying, and read it carefully.
In the letter, Fu Yanqing wrote a long story and spoke highly of Li Zhongyi's past achievements. In the end, Fu Yanqing made it very vague that Empress Fu may be prejudiced against him Li Zhongyi.
Li Zhongyi put down the letter in his hand and squinted at the courtyard outside the hall, his eyes were extremely deep.
Fu Yanqing is indeed a qualified politician, he and Queen Fu are one inside and one outside, and they beat a stick to give candy to eat, and they are very vigorous!
To be honest, so far, Li Zhongyi has not found the root of why Empress Fu dislikes him.
Even if some accurate news comes out from time to time from the palace attendants, it is still half a scale, making it impossible for people to get a glimpse of the whole picture.
Of course, under Chai Rong's serious illness, Empress Fu's foothold is not stable, and within a year or two, I am afraid that she will not dare to tamper with the personnel in the political hall.
Although Chai Rong set the auxiliary minister system of the eight-phase collegiate government, the political system has always been set up for people, and the most important thing is strength, and the second is timing.
I think that at the beginning, Kangxi, an old pockmark, casually found an excuse. put Ao Bai into the pit, and the system of four auxiliary ministers died, which was a sneak attack on the opponent. A classic case of changing the power structure.
As for whether Ao Bai was wronged, hehe, who will care about him? The relatives of the emperor who did not share the benefits did not blink an eye, and divided up the power space left by Aobai.
Inside the circle of power. Only the newcomer laughs, and no one cares about the old man crying!
"Brother Xian has worked hard, let's go to the guest room to rest. At night. Accompany Brother Yu to drink a few glasses of vegetarian wine. Li Zhongyi had already noticed that although Wang Zhongying was wearing plain clothes and plain clothes, although he was not wearing linen, he also had filial piety around his waist.
Rites of passage. It's human nature. However, today's people in the world prefer to come up with a set of so-called decay rituals to express respect and sorrow for the deceased.
King Wei's wife died of illness, and the immediate family did not talk about it, and all the relatives who did not come out of the five suits had to accompany them to mourn, which was called posthumous mourning.
And. Death is like companionship, that is. Fu Wangye's wife, the things used before his death, must be buried with him in the grave.
After Wang Zhongying retreated, Li Zhongyi walked back to the back hall with his hands behind his back. On the hot kang in the back hall, Zhu'er, Peony, Caijiao and Zheng's family, each with their own side, were happily playing Shuanglu.
"Brother-in-law, are you done with official business?" Caijiao's eyes were sharp, and she immediately saw Li Zhongyi coming in, she threw away the cards in her hand, climbed down the hot kang, threw herself into Li Zhongyi's arms, hooked his neck with both hands, and sassed.
Li Zhongyi hugged Caijiao with a smile and asked her affectionately: "How much did you win?" ”
Caijiao pursed her lips and muttered, "It's a miserable loss." However, her mother lost even more, hehe. ”
Li Zhongyi glanced at Zheng, but saw that she deliberately lowered her head, did not dare to look at him, her face was quite wrong, and if she didn't look carefully, she couldn't notice that the roots of her ears were slightly red.
At first, Li Zhongyi didn't care, but later, he suddenly realized that three of the four women in the house were his concubines, and only one outsider from the Zheng family was left.
Speaking of which, the Zheng family is not exactly an outsider, after all, she is the mother of the three sisters of the Jin family, although she is not a serious mother-in-law, but she is also a relative of the broken thread.
Li Zhongyi realized Zheng's embarrassment, so he casually made an excuse, left the inner room, paced the door, and walked to the pond.
Li Yunxiao saw that Li Zhongyi had been standing by the pond for a quarter of an hour, because the temperature was getting colder and colder, he was worried that he would catch a cold, so he took a big coat, walked over and gently draped it on Li Zhongyi's shoulder, and said with concern: "Master, sit down for a while, don't be too tired yourself." ”
Li Zhongyi smiled and asked Li Yunxiao: "Xiaosong, how long have we been away from Shu?" Do you want to go home? ”
Li Yunxiao said with emotion: "Yes, of course I want to." However, the little one doesn't want to, just go back to his hometown secretly, and when you have the final say, the villain will take the pot burner and the little baby, and go back in a beautiful way, so that the old acquaintances will open their eyes wide, take a good look, I, a poor hunter, will come back rich. ”
Li Zhongyi smiled and returned to his hometown, in fact, it was a reunion with old classmates, and the nature was roughly similar.
Some people say that the class reunion is actually a show meeting, a bragging meeting, and a ** meeting for breaking shoes, and Li Zhongyi thinks so.
Chinese people have a bad problem, in the small circle, everyone wants to mix the best, and the classmates mix very poorly, so the psychological satisfaction is greatly expanded.
In addition, when the old classmates for many years meet again, most of them have already married and had children, and it is inevitable that some of them are male or female classmates, and their lives are not very satisfactory.
is an old classmate for many years, men and women are already familiar with each other, plus the distance produces beauty, or make up for the regrets of the year, so, Lang has a concubine intentionally, and a lot of broken shoes happen naturally, and it comes naturally.
Li Zhongyi still has some experience in breaking shoes. At the alumni reunion that year, Vice Dean Li happened to meet a certain flower who he once wanted to pursue, but never dared to speak.
Although the flower is well married, her husband, who is rich and powerful, got tired of her within two years, and has been stealing chickens and dogs outside, messing with flowers and grass, attracting bees and butterflies, and playing very out of line, and she doesn't even know how to go home.
Taking the opportunity of the class reunion, Li Zhongyi, who already had some energy in the capital, and the ripe and long-standing flower hooked up not long after.
When Li Zhongyi rode on the tie flower, he was certainly physiologically refreshing, and even happier was psychologically happy, he almost shouted, "The old man finally rode her!" "An old wish was fulfilled and an old regret was avoided. (To be continued......)
