Chapter 0567: Hidden Worries of the Imperial Court

In the middle of June of the fourth year of the first peace of the Han Dynasty, Fu Wan took his family and rushed to Quanzhou from Xuzhou on a big ship from northern Xinjiang.

After Fu is a Langya Dongwu man, after Fu Zhan, a famous minister of Zhongxing. The Fu family was a Confucian family in the Han Dynasty and was famous all over the world for studying the Book of Songs.

Since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the famous Confucians and ministers of the Fu family have emerged in endlessly. Fu Zhan's ninth ancestor Fu Sheng, the word is cheap, that is, Jinan (the county is now Zhangqiunan, Shandong) people, Western Han Dynasty scholar Fu Sheng. Fu Zhan's great-grandfather, Fu Ru, lived in Dongwu to give lectures when he was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he settled his home there. His father, Fu Li, was a teacher of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty. And Fu Zhan himself was the great Situ and Yangdu Marquis of the Guangwu Emperor Dynasty, and was very relied on by Emperor Guangwu.

Fu Zhan's fifth grandson is called Fu Wuji, a great Confucian in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the first year of Yonghe, he and Yilang Huang Jing revised the Chinese book "Five Classics", Zhuzi Baijia and Qi Shu. Later, he co-wrote "Hanji" with Huang Jing, Cui Yu (Cui Yu is Cui Lie's cousin) and others. His daughter was a nobleman of Emperor Shun of Han. His son, Fu Zhen, was once an official to the Great Sinong.

Fu Wan is the grandson of Fu Wuji, and his wife is the eldest princess of Yang'an, the daughter of Emperor Shun of Han. In 190 A.D. (the first year of Chuping), Dong Zhuo took Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Chang'an, and Fu Shou followed, at this time she had entered the court as a nobleman. This time, Li Yi went to Guanzhong and succeeded in bringing the Son of Heaven to Northern Xinjiang, and his concubines naturally followed him to Northern Xinjiang. And if history does not deviate from the track, this noble man will become the first queen of Liu Xie in the future, but now the arrival of Li Yi has changed the trajectory of historical development to a large extent, and I don't know if this thing will happen.

The Fu family is not only a generation of famous Confucians, but also a generation of high-ranking officials, and a relative of the emperor, and the family is extremely prominent.

When Fu Wan and his wife arrived in Quanzhou, the eldest princess personally rushed to meet her aunt and uncle outside Quanzhou, and the Son of Heaven and Fu Guiren also rushed to Quanzhou to greet her, and the etiquette was very thick.

As early as when Emperor Ling of Han was about to kill He Jin, he felt that the situation was not right, so he took his wife back to his hometown to avoid trouble. At that time, Fu Shou was just a ten-year-old little girl, and stayed in Luoyang with her eldest brother Fu De. Later, Dong Zhuo put Liu Xie on the throne, and when the people selected concubines for him, he selected Fu Shou into the palace.

After Fu De arrived in Quanzhou with the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials this time, he knew that the imperial army would sooner or later cross the river to the south to quell the rebellion, and the war in the Central Plains would continue for many years, and his family was a relative of the emperor and the country, so it was easy to be taken hostage by traitors. So he hurriedly sent his cronies to Langya with books, and asked his father to move his family to Hebei as soon as possible to avoid accidents.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan was attacking Kong Rong in Beihai, and Tao Qian's army in Xuzhou was also assembled in Langya County, and smoke was rising in Qing and Xu. Tobu Castle is at the junction of Beihai and Langya counties, and once Kong Rong is defeated, Tobu will definitely suffer, and Fu Wan is afraid of it. Just as Volde's letter arrived. Fu was overjoyed, and without hesitation, he immediately took his family to move to Hebei. He did not take the land route, but rushed to Quanzhou by sea.

Fu Wan saw a lot of familiar faces in Quanzhou and Jicheng, met a lot of friends, and was in a very good mood.

However, after eating a meal in Jicheng Xingong, he was in a very bad mood.

On that day, the Son of Heaven hosted a banquet in the palace for Fuwan and the eldest princess of Yang'an. The eldest princess of Wan Nian did not show up because she was unwell.

The Son of Heaven complained in front of Fu Wan and the eldest princess of Yang'an: "What I said in the past doesn't count, it's because I rebelled and controlled the government. Now my words don't count, it's because my sister is in charge of the government. I wanted to restore the fifth-class title system so that I could appease the officials of various states and counties as soon as possible to share the world, but my sister disagreed. My sister has to fight, she has to kill the rebels, and she has to ruin the souls. I wanted to send troops to save Kong Rong, but my sister didn't agree. Kong Rong is defeated, I lose my trust in the world, how can I establish my prestige? ”

The Son of Heaven complained for a while, and then said: "My sister is for my good, and she wants to keep my country, I know." But my sister is too domineering, she treats me as a three-year-old child, beats me when she raises her hand, and scolds when she opens her mouth, I really can't stand it. I'm thirteen years old, I'm an adult, why can't I do what I want? I don't even have the power to save a minister now, what does it mean for me to be in front of the emperor? ”

"In the past, I misunderstood the hussar generals, thinking that the hussar generals would control the government like the rebels in Chang'an, but I was wrong. As soon as the imperial court was rebuilt, the hussar general revised the military system, handed over the army to the imperial court, recalled many generals to Quanzhou and Jicheng, and he simply ran to the desert. My father was right, the hussar general was a loyal minister, and my father was right to entrust the hussar general with the task of reviving the Han before his death, and the father was indeed wise. But my father probably wouldn't have imagined that his favorite daughter would kick me away and take over the power himself. ”

Fu Wan and the eldest princess of Yang'an were dumbfounded. The two had heard about the Jicheng Imperial Court along the way, but they didn't expect that the contradiction between the sister and brother had developed to such a point.

"I know that behind the eldest princess, there is a hussar general to support her. The eldest princess came to the north at the age of fifteen, she has been growing up under the care of the hussar general, no matter what she does wrong, the hussar general will protect her, spoil her, and will not let her suffer a little grievance, but what about me? To whom do I confide my grievances? The Son of Heaven smiled bitterly, "I want to prosper the Han Dynasty, and I want to keep my ancestors." I am not a faint king, I went to northern Xinjiang, I knew the benefits of the new policy, I knew that all the generals in northern Xinjiang were loyal ministers, and I knew that the officials in Hebei were all virtuous, but what was the use of me knowing? In my sister's eyes, I don't understand anything, I don't know anything, I'm just a little faint king who has lost a country. My suffering, who knows? ”

The eldest princess of Yang'an saw the tears of the Son of Heaven rolling in her eyes, her heart was sour, and she wanted to persuade her, but she was immediately stopped by Fu Wan's stern gaze.

"I'm going to get my stuff back." The Son of Heaven calmed down his emotions and said very resolutely, "I want to marry my sister." My sister is nineteen years old, and if I don't get married, I will be laughed at. When her sister gets married, she can no longer be in charge of state affairs on behalf of the secretary. ”

The Son of Heaven looked at Fu Wan and the eldest princess of Yang'an, and then said, "My aunt is an elder, so I will hand this matter over to my aunt." ”

After Fu Wan's face changed greatly, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and you must not be reckless. The role of the eldest princess in the court is not only as simple as being in charge of state affairs, she is a buffer between the court and Hebei. Her fate will be directly related to the fate of Sheji. Even if Your Majesty sacrifices the marriage of the eldest princess, you must leave the eldest princess in the court. ”

The Son of Heaven narrowed his eyes, his face suddenly showed anger, and he said loudly: "You mean, the hussar general is not trustworthy? ”

Fu Wan said: "The loyalty of the hussar general is certainly worthy of trust, but the hussar general's loyalty is not loyalty to His Majesty, but loyalty to the Han Sheji. Once the balance of power in the court is broken, when the life and power of the hussar general are threatened, the hussar general will inevitably fight back and re-establish the balance of power. Even if he simply followed the example of 'Yi Yin and Huo Guang' and monopolized power, then, what does His Majesty's life and power rely on to guarantee? ”

The Son of Heaven sneered: "Is there a check and balance of power in the court now? How can I see that my sister is the only one who speaks? My sister said that if I don't save Kong Rong, my holy decree is a good-looking silk satin, is this the balance of power that the hussar general wants to see? I am a waste now, the court is an ornament, only my sister is powerful, how do you explain it? ”

He was speechless. He really couldn't explain what happened in the Jicheng Imperial Court.

The Son of Heaven's dictation, Fu Wan and the eldest princess of Yang'an did not dare to disobey. I regretted it after I finished it, I knew that it was like this, it was better to stay in Quanzhou, this was not asking for trouble.

He scolded Volde.

Fude said: "Now the ministers of the DPRK and the generals of the northern Xinjiang are also very dissatisfied with the eldest princess. ”

Becoming an official is something that everyone dreams of. After all, the official positions of the imperial court are limited, and the financial endowment is very scarce, and many people have made meritorious deeds, but they have neither been promoted nor rewarded, and they are very dissatisfied. When I heard that the imperial court was going to add a knight, everyone was very happy. As a result, the eldest princess said a word, and Bai was happy.

Then there is the matter of sending troops. What do generals rely on to build meritorious deeds? Fight. The eldest princess refused to send troops under the pretext of Hebei's poor financial endowment, cutting off the opportunity for the generals of northern Xinjiang to make contributions, of course everyone has opinions.

After Fu Wan, he said suspiciously: "Don't lie to me, once this kind of thing is not handled well, it will be a disaster to exterminate the clan." In the hundreds of years of this dynasty, how many royal relatives were buried on the shore of mass graves, do you know? ”

Fude patted his chest and promised, "There will be no accident." The hussar generals have a very good reputation in northern Xinjiang, and apart from showing no mercy to corrupt officials and corrupt officials, there is no precedent for killing ministers by virtue of authority. In addition, the eldest princess likes the hussar general, and everyone in Hebei knows it, which is not a good thing for the hussar general. If the Son of Heaven can marry the eldest princess and relieve the hussar general's danger, the hussar general will definitely be grateful to Dade. ”

Although Fu Wan is old, decades of political experience tell him that this matter is not as simple as his son said.

Now the authority of the Han Dynasty is not controlled by the Son of Heaven, but by the Son of Heaven, the imperial court, and Hebei respectively, and it is the eldest princess who plays a role in reconciliation and buffering.

The eldest princess is the sister of the Son of Heaven. The eldest princess and many ministers in the court have a teacher-student relationship or a subordinate relationship, and they have a deep relationship with each other. The eldest princess grew up under the care of the generals of Northern Xinjiang. The great cause of ZTE needs strength, and the fusion of strength needs the eldest princess. If the authority in the hands of the eldest princess is deprived, the incident in Chang'an will surely repeat.

At that time, the hussar generals could not do it if they did not want to monopolize power. Dong Zhuo's bones are now gone, this is a bloody lesson. The hussar general can not care about his own life and death, but his men must take care of their own lives. As soon as the eldest princess fell, the Jicheng court collapsed immediately.

The Son of Heaven was taken advantage of, and although this thirteen-year-old boy survived the chaos of Chang'an for many years, his mind was still that of a thirteen-year-old boy, and his understanding of society and authority was far from mature.

Fu Wan did not tell any of the ministers about this, and he and the eldest princess of Yang'an pondered at home. (To be continued.) )
