Chapter 189: The Moment to Change Destiny (9)
Liu Guo smiled and said: "Princess, don't be impatient, the princess's dagger, can you put it down, we are here to meet the princess with friendship, not hoping to use the sword in vain!" â
Fu Bao snorted, let go of his hand, and said, "Forgive me for not daring to make any trouble, just say if you have something to say, this princess's time is precious!" â
Liu Guo smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that the information in the past is really accurate, this Fu Bao is as he said, he is very rude, and his temper is not small, and Liu Guo also learned from the news from Chang'an that in the past, Fu Bao and Murong Xi were very close, and the two sides once wanted to marry, but now, the two sides have long regarded them as enemies, and naturally it is impossible to marry again.
In the words of later generations, Fu Bao is now a lovelorn girl, her mood is very unstable, and she sees who bites whom, but Liu Guo chose to go to her now, of course, after some calculations, because of emotional instability, so her thinking is not thoughtful, and she is easy to be persuaded and moved, which is an obvious truth.
"In the Xia Liu Kingdom, serving in the Dunhuang army, Taishou Mansion Governor's History, on the orders of Lord Taishou, come to see the princess!" Liu Guo said respectfully.
"Long History!" Fu Bao frowned, a little puzzled, although she has always been easy-going and has no serious concept of respect and inferiority, but no matter what she says, she is also a princess, let alone a long history, even if Jingzhao Mansion Yin wants to see herself, she basically can't see it.
Besides, the sinicization of the Di people is very serious. Although it is said that women can also go into battle to kill the enemy, although they cannot directly intervene in political affairs, they can also exert influence, but the princess is different after all, the eldest girl's family, before leaving the cabinet, can not contact with foreign ministers, Fu Bao and Murong Xi in the past, mainly Fu Jian and Murong Chui had a personal relationship at that time, and the two of them just played together.
But the person in front of him, there is still a way to find himself, and talk to himself, this is very surprising to Fu Bao, the reason why Fu Bao is willing to come out to see them, one is naturally depressed recently, want to find something to relax, by the way out to play, and the other, also because Fu Bao feels that this thing is strange, and he is not at ease when he sends others to himself, it is better to see by himself.
Suddenly, Fu Bao seemed to think of something, and said, "Wait a minute, you said, you are a subordinate of Dunhuang Taishou Duan Ye!" â
"Yes!" Liu Guo said calmly.
"Why is it Duan Ye again!" Fu Bao blurted out.
I really can't blame Fu Bao, because in the past year, Fu Bao has heard too many names.
More than a year ago, despite the opposition, my father insisted on going his own way, and a million troops went down to the south of the Yangtze River, but they were defeated in the Battle of Weishui, and the first person to jump out to rebel was Lu Guang.
Lu Guang's father, Lu Polou, was Fu Jian's confidant in his early years, and the Lu family and the Fu family also had a good relationship. Although LĂź Guang's banner has always been to kill Liang Xi, he has never openly opposed Fu Jian, and after capturing Liangzhou, LĂź Guang was very honest and low-key as the emperor of Liangzhou.
Since Lu Guang has not taken further action, and Liang Xi is actually not very important, but since Fu Jian, including Fu Bao, they have all been very incomprehensible to Lu Guang and others, one is of course because of betrayal, which has led to the loss of so many years of feelings, and what is more serious is actually Lu Guang's behavior, which is too bad and has caused too bad an impact.
The reason is very simple, although Fu Jian's army was defeated at that time and lost the possibility of reunification, Murong Chui and others also had ghosts in their hearts, but Fu Jian still had hundreds of thousands of elites all over the country, Fu Pi, Fu Feilong, Fu Rui, Quan Yi, Dou Chong and other people loyal to Fu Jian still led heavy troops and garrisoned various strategic places.
Besides, careerists of all parties. Although they have a thief's heart, they don't have the courage to be a thief, because they are really afraid, the psychological shadow caused to them by the Great Qin Iron Army in the past ten years is still there, and although Fu Jian lost miserably this time, but that time, the Huanwen army was on the verge of hegemony, and the people were all eating pot pulp to welcome the king's master, didn't the Great Qin Empire still turn the tables, who dares to say that this time it can't.
Moreover, these people are not strong enough, and they don't dare to be the rafters, but hope that people will give them the fire, but, think about it from another angle, if everyone has a thief heart and does not dare to make trouble, in fact, this is the most beneficial to the Great Qin Empire, because they need time the most.
You look at me, I look at you, time has passed, and when Fu Jian eases up, no one dares to act, at that time, these people who are ready to move have to withdraw their fangs and continue to be loyal ministers.
However, unfortunately, almost when the Battle of Weishui entered the Gaoyu Dynasty and the victory was not determined, LĂź Guang's army stopped its westward expedition and returned east without authorization, and when the Battle of Weishui was determined to fail, LĂź Guang had already openly begun to attack Liangzhou.
This matter is too serious, this is tantamount to setting the first fire, countless people, it is precisely because they saw that people in the inner circle of Fu Jian like Lu Guang rebelled, that they mustered up the courage to oppose his mother, to a certain extent, Lu Guang is the first, and the most important one.
What's more important is that people who engage in politics are smart people, and they are very sensitive to many details, and the most important one is whether Lu Guang really gave up the westward expedition or moved eastward, before Fu Jian's defeat, which sent a very dangerous signal, Lu Guang had long concluded that the battle of Weishui must fail, so he began to plan for himself and led his troops to return east, otherwise, if he waited until his army entered Guzang, he got the news that Fu Jian had entered Stone City, how could it be good.
If Fu Jian wins, 10,000 Lu Guang is not enough to see, so the only explanation is that Lu Guang is not optimistic about that southern expedition, and does not hesitate to make the most violent reaction.
Very, everyone knew the news, the person who persuaded Lu Guang was Duan Ye, who was still very inconspicuous at the time, this young man, who did not hesitate to guarantee his life, said that Fu Jian must fail, and finally persuaded Lu Guang to achieve this legend.
After that, Fu Bao heard more, Duan Ye, a literati, began to pick up the saber, and made many military exploits in the process of Lu Guang's conquest of Liangzhou, and finally became the Dunhuang Taishou at a young age, and became famous all over the world for a while.
And after he became the Taishou, all kinds of reform measures quickly spread to Fu Bao's ears through the intelligence agencies, and Fu Bao also heard that Duan Ye and Liu Yu are the most outstanding people in this generation of young people, and all kinds of true, exaggerated, and unreliable news kept coming, making Fu Bao curious about Duan Ye.
Later, his brother Fu Yu was ordered to go to Shuzhong, and he also followed, originally thinking that at that time, the crown prince Fu Hong had stabilized the situation, and the Great Qin Empire could at least keep the right generation of Guanzhong Longyou, recuperate, and watch the overall situation of the world, so Fu Bao was also relieved.
But she never thought that she would turn into elbows and armpits, and even Yao Chang and Qifu Guoren were opposed, and there was no way, Fu Bao had no choice but to lead the Sichuan soldiers north with Fu Xuan to help the prince, and at the same time, she also learned that in order to eliminate Qifu Guoren, the prince Fu Hong actually thought of recruiting Duan Ye to suppress the crusade.
At that time, Fu Bao was very dissatisfied, in her opinion, if it wasn't for Duan Ye's mistake with Lu Guang, Lu Guang would not have rebelled, and if Lu Guang did not rebel, those careerists would probably not dare to move, then the Great Qin River would not have been in turmoil, otherwise, her father was probably still in good health, and between himself and Murong Xi, he would not have come to this point.
All of this is due to Duan Ye, as soon as she thought of this, Fu Bao's face became iron-blue, and she said coldly: "Duan Ye, isn't Duan Ye too shou in Dunhuang, don't handle government affairs well, care for the people, and send you here to see this princess, what are you doing?" â
After speaking, Fu Bao suddenly remembered that it was rumored that this Duan Ye was quite ambitious, and she immediately looked at Liu Guo vigilantly.
However, Liu Guo is doing special work, where can he be frightened by words, he said unhurriedly: "Your Highness, Lord Taishou, after all, he is also a local official of our Great Qin Empire, and it is normal to care about national affairs. â
"Magistrate!" Fu Bao laughed: "What a magistrate, is Lord Duan really an official of the Great Qin Empire!" â
"That's nature!" Liu Guo said sincerely: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, of course, Lord Duan is an official of the Great Qin State, there is no doubt about this!" â
"Good!" Fu Bao clapped his hands: "Since you are a person of Lord Duan, and you also said that Lord Duan is still an official of the Great Qin Empire, then why have you Liangzhou and Dunhuang not paid taxes to the imperial court for so long, um!" â
Fu Bao said very proudly, but also very bitter, did not pay taxes, this is a fact, many places have not paid, which directly caused the financial embarrassment of Chang'an, no money, what else to talk about.
is very proud, in fact, it has no practical significance, but because Fu Bao is really disgusted by Duan Ye's behavior, and thinks it is very hypocritical, Fu Bao wants to expose him in this way.
Don't you claim to be a courtier of the Great Qin Empire, I want to see what you should do if you are asked to pay taxes.
Unexpectedly, Liu Guo had already prepared, he smiled and said: "Her Royal Highness Princess Mingjian, as a magistrate, of course you have to pay taxes to the imperial court!" But you also know that above Lord Taishou, there is also Lord Thorn Shi...... Now that Lord Thorn Shi is Lord Duan's father-in-law, there are many things, and Lord Duan can only bear it in general, but? Paying taxes is a responsibility, of course, it cannot be escaped, so this time, Liu Guo came to Chang'an, an important mission, is to represent the adult, directly make up the taxes that should be paid by Dunhuang County, no matter what, the adult will never be ashamed of the imperial court! â
Fu Bao was dumbfounded.
