[Strategy of Yanxi Palace] Another year of spring

That day Fu Heng said during the day that he was going to treat guests to a banquet at night, but the local officials are all good people, how can the immediate boss from Beijing invite them to drink first, and he called the best restaurant in Taiyuan that night? The chef came to the door and set up a few tables of big dishes to "clean up the wind and clean up the dust" for the newly appointed governor of Shanxi.

When Fu Heng heard what they said, he showed a look of astonishment on his face: "How is this possible? Well, it's also my fault. It's the first time I went to Beijing to do an errand, and I have no experience, so I let a few elders pay first. It's not a big deal, I just asked my wife to send someone to order the meal, if I knew I should have made arrangements during the day."

How could the magistrates dare to respond, they answered the conversation one after another, saying repeatedly that this is difficult for adults, since ancient times, there is no reason for a boss to treat guests when he is new.

Taiyuan is the general government of Shanxi, and the magistrate of Taiyuan is the most important among these local officials. He stepped forward and said: "My lord, I heard that our governor of Shanxi has finally arrived, and several county magistrates have also arrived. Tonight, everyone in Shanxi Basically all the officials who can talk have come to see you. Now only the garrison generals of the Eight Banners garrison have not arrived yet, so they will come after waiting."

Fu Heng was taken aback: "It's just a casual meal tonight, what are you doing with such a big fanfare? Telling it out will make people criticize."

The Taiyuan magistrate only comforted: "It's okay, no one dares to talk too much, so don't worry, my lord."

Fu Heng laughed, as if he breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, since that's the case, I would like to thank the adults for planning for me."

He glanced back, the door opened behind him, and Shi Chun was coming out surrounded by maids.She is dressed in a concubine-colored flag dress, and the jade hairpin and beads are simple and elegant. It is October, and she is wearing a windproof cloak. She is dressed in the normal standard of a family in Beijing, but placed here, it looks like She became very extravagant, but she wore her makeup meticulously, and her face was so gorgeous that all the ladies were overshadowed and ashamed for a while.

She stepped forward, smiled at Yan Yan, and glanced at Fu Heng. Taking advantage of the moment when they looked at each other, the two exchanged a look.

"This is the Young Madam, it really is the appearance that shines, making the mansion flourish."

Shi Chun looked at the enthusiastic Taiyuan prefect who came up to him, but the corners of his mouth twitched, his expression was a little cold, as if he was too lazy to deal with it: "I also have to thank you for lending the mansion, the first time we husband and wife Leaving Beijing, there is no real estate in Shanxi, but I have already sent someone to inquire about it today, so please don’t dislike us and beg for forgiveness.”

The prefect of Datong interrupted: "Actually, the governor's mansion where the previous governor lived is not bad. You can live in it after cleaning up."

Shi Chun raised his eyes and glanced at him, then pouted: "I heard that it's an old mansion with only three entrances, and the people we brought from Beijing can't accommodate them, so let's forget it."

Several magistrates resented, stopped talking, and looked at each other.

Sure enough, she is still the noble young master and wife from Beijing, she is very spoiled and pampered.

Seeing their secret movements, Fu Heng's eyes flickered, and he said enthusiastically: "In this case, let's not waste time here, isn't it that the banquet is ready? Let's go and have a look."

The others naturally surrounded him and said yes.

A group of people went to the water pavilion in the mansion lively. Fu Heng looked around and said meaningfully: "My lord will enjoy it."

The magistrate of Taiyuan said proudly: "Where, where, this humble room of a humble job can't compare to the magnificence of Fucha Duke's mansion, it's just a small place for recreation."

Fu Heng smiled and did not refute. He glanced at Shi Chun. She was sitting proudly among the ladies. When she received Fu Heng's gaze, she looked at each other with a sly look in her eyes. smile.

Seeing that the scene gradually began to develop into a glamorous painting style, a young servant came running to the side of the Taiyuan prefect, and said in a voice that several people could hear: "My lord, the special envoy is back."

All the magistrates were silent, not to mention the county magistrates below, they all looked at each other in dismay, restrained the flattering smiles on their faces, and the sound of silk and bamboo also stopped.

Only Fu Heng sat in the main seat, his smile remained unchanged, he looked at everyone at the table with his eyes, and sat where he was, his smile deepened.

It seems that just after the words were finished, there was a burst of rhythmic footsteps in the quieter water pavilion. The footsteps were slightly hurried, but seemed to be slow. Military style.

Holding the wine glass in his hand, Fu Heng swallowed a glass of wine. When he raised his head, he cast a glance in the direction of the footsteps. A few smiles flickered at the end of his eyes, and he was a little speechless.

Shi Chun followed the crowd to look at the past, with a bit of curiosity in his eyes.

The veil of the water pavilion swayed, and with the autumn wind, it swam in the air, and suddenly seemed to touch some sharp edge and cold wall, and swung away in the opposite direction.

Niu Hulu Aligun stepped on the oppressive atmosphere of the room and walked in boldly. He was dressed in a black dress, with gold silk trimming and dark patterns winding around it. He looked like a nobleman of an aristocratic family. With a murderous air, suddenly breaking into this place, it seems so out of place.He still has a young and handsome face, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and his facial features are sharp and cold. His skin is wheat-colored, his eyes are firm, and his eyes are as dark as thick ink, making people daunting and extremely oppressive.

Shi Chun thought, it's no wonder that several magistrates regarded Fu Heng as a Jinyu son who had been promoted all the way through his family background, but he changed color after hearing Ali Gon's name.

The military aura of this Niu Hulu son was almost unstoppable, he looked like a tough guy who was not easy to mess with, and coupled with his obvious title of Special Envoy to Suppress Bandits, it's no wonder he wasn't regarded as a thorn in the side.

As for Fu Heng, Shi Chun glanced at the person who was still sitting there with an arrogant smile after the others stood up, and couldn't help but secretly laugh.

Finally, she understood what his words meant before, but she never thought that he was decent in playing the arrogant and noble son.

Fu Hengsheng is meticulous, his eyebrows are meaningful and elegant, and when he smiles gently, he is unparalleled. Only when he holds a sword can people really realize that he was born as a general. At this moment, he deliberately restrained his indifference, and borrowed Liao and Prince Hongzhou are three points of indecency, treat people with a smile, and appear to have a very good temper.

"Ali Gon, are you back?" Fu Heng sat on the spot, smiling and toasting.

Ali Gun stood still and looked down at him from a high position. Behind him was the garrison general, both of whom looked dusty.

"The governor is very interested. I went to observe the Eight Banners garrison camp, and naturally I only come back now. It doesn't seem like you have leisure time."

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced around. The ladies around Shichun avoided his gaze in fear and shyness. A look of arrogance.

Shi Chun smiled, and looked at him with the arrogance and self-restraint of a rich woman.

Ali Gon looked away, and said with unclear meaning: "It's been a long time since I haven't seen such distinguished guests as you two, and I can't react for a while. The land of Shanxi is really much better because of you two."

Fu Heng said lightly: "Thank you, but Ali Gun, you are wrong about one thing. I am not a distinguished guest. I am a serious Shanxi governor. As for you, the emperor did not mention you to me before, but since you have Here I am, I hope you can ask me for instructions on what to do in Shanxi, as it is today, it is shameful to say that you have to go to the garrison camp for no reason."

Ali Gun lifted his robe and sat down: "That's impossible, I'm a special envoy sent by the emperor, and I'm not under the governor's control."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass: "This glass is for the adults to welcome."

Fu Heng just smiled and said slowly: "Really? Your confidence has not changed at all." As he spoke, he had already picked up the wine glass.

The two men saluted each other with swords drawn, then took up the wine glass and drank it down. When they put down the wine glass, they looked at each other with deep meaning in their eyes, and both of them understood.

The people below saw the atmosphere between them with their own eyes, and they all murmured secretly: "I heard that the relationship between the two of them in the capital is very delicate, and now it seems to be true. Well, no wonder, about the same age, about the same age Family background, similar achievements, no two tigers in one mountain, this is an enemy."

The two of them, who performed a play in the satisfied eyes of the local officials, sat together peacefully in Fu Heng's room.

"You have been in Shanxi for nearly a month, have you found anything?"

"The ones below are all small shrimps. It's not a big deal. As long as you give me some soldiers, it's not a problem to pick them one by one. If it's difficult, it's still in this yard." Ali Gon said while playing with the teacup in his hand.

Fu Heng frowned slightly: "You mean the prefect of Taiyuan?"

"More than that, there are more than one faction in Shanxi. As far as I know, the prefects of Datong and Taiyuan are not under the orders of the same person." Ali Gun smiled.

Fu Heng pondered for a long while and asked, "What do you think?"

Ali Gun looked over: "Suppress the bandits first, and then investigate the people behind."

"Won't startle the snake?"

"If it's done once, it won't."

Fu Heng was slightly startled, and then said: "You want to get big? This is too risky, and do you have a plan? If you want to lure fish into the bait, you must first have a bait of sufficient weight."

"The wife of the governor of Shanxi, the fourth wife of the Fucha family, and the daughter of Duke Yongshou were robbed. Is this bait big enough?"

Fu Heng stood up abruptly, kicked over the tea table in front of him, and grabbed Ali Gon's front: "Are you crazy? How dare you use my wife as bait!"

Ali Gon looked calm, looked at his collar being pulled, and said in surprise: "It seems that you have a deep affection for your wife?"

"That's none of your business." Fu Heng said coldly, "Songya, what do you think? A woman, you dragged her into this kind of thing?"

"Time is running out." Ali Gun sighed: "Someone in Beijing reached out to here, gangsters, Yinzhuang, and big shots in Beijing. These three are integrated into one, and the wealth is moving. A few days ago, I One of the dens that was wiped out, I recognized one of them when I took stock of the corpses, the person next to E Rongan. If I were here before, the rumors were not so loud, but now you have entered Shanxi by order, this has already happened. It has come to light, if they are given more time to cut off their hands and feet, within a month, there will be no more clues."

Fu Hengdao: "This method is too risky, why are you so radical, there is always a better way, this idea is too bad."

Ali Gon smiled sarcastically: "It's bad, but it's simple and effective. Your disguise has been good recently, and you have successfully let others relax their vigilance against you. I might as well say that you are acting in your true colors," he ignored Fu Heng's gaze. , continued: "At this juncture, your wife has been robbed, and it is reasonable to turn Shanxi upside down. The rich young master, he became a beauty in anger, and Shanxi was shaken. They are hard to guard against."

Fu Heng sneered: "You might as well take over your beautiful wife and concubine, and set an example for me first?"

Ali Gun said: "If I had one, I wouldn't be sitting here to persuade you today. I would have taken action a long time ago. My wife died a few years ago. Unfortunately, I don't have a beautiful concubine in my house."

He said again: "Chunhe, a man should make meritorious deeds in his life. You and I are both people on the battlefield. You have to think carefully about it."

Fu Heng was about to put an end to his thoughts when he heard someone say, "Sir, shouldn't you ask me about this?"

When Shi Chun came out from the inside, Ali Gun glanced at Fu Heng, but he didn't expect that he would not shy away from his wife when discussing matters.

Ali Gon stood up and cupped his fists at her: "Young Madam."

"Don't dare to be that." Shi Chun said flatly.

Ali Gun didn't care, he looked down at Shi Chun, such a delicate woman, with the arrogance of those famous women in Beijing, was held in the palm of his hand and grew up.

"Ask Young Madam? Why do you ask knowingly." He smiled.

"My lord is sure that I will not agree to take risks because I am greedy for life and fear of death," Shi Chun laughed: "But I just came out to say that this plan is very bold and effective, so I agreed."

Fu Heng: "No! Don't even think about it!"

He looked at Shichun, wondering if she didn't think about the consequences in case something happened, were the bandits just joking?At least her reputation would be damaged, and at the worst, her life would be lost. Whether she didn't care about her own life at all, or didn't care about his worries.

Shichun knew the risk of this matter, but she also recognized Ali Gun's worry.That's right, there is indeed a better way, but this is the fastest, high risk and high reward, isn't it dangerous to live in this perilous city of Taiyuan every day?Every step is frightening, the schemes are unpredictable, they are surrounded by enemies, and countless plots are hidden in this strange place. Instead of being entangled in this kind of lukewarm danger, it is better to take a gamble.

She said: "But I have a condition. I hope that the one who rushes to the rescue is my husband."

Ali Gun said: "Young Madam, you should know that the military power is in my hands. I have more soldiers than Fu Heng. It is safer for me to go."

Shi Chun: "I know, but I don't believe you."

She smiled and looked at Ali Gon: "My lord, you have prejudice against me. I don't know where this prejudice comes from, but I have no intention of forcing you to understand who I am. Different ways do not seek each other, since We don't like each other, so I can't entrust my life to you."

Ali Gon looked down at her, his eyes were full of emotions, he stopped talking, and took a step back after a while.

Shi Chun didn't look at him again, but looked at Fu Heng: "This is what I am willing to do."

Fu Heng frowned and looked at her.

He said: "Absolutely impossible." He turned and left.

That night, when Fu Heng went back to his room, Shi Chun sat in front of the desk and waited for him.He was still angry and didn't want to talk to her, he walked straight in, when suddenly, Shichun spoke.

"This time, I will give you my life. If you pick me up personally, I have something to tell you."

He stopped in his tracks and said in a harsh voice, "What are you talking about? Is this the only way?"

She said: "Yeah, in this life, I probably just want to give this one chance. Please, give me enough confidence to let me speak those words."

Fu Heng paused, and after a long time, he said: "You will never be in any danger."

Shi Chun smiled and looked at his back.

This time, let her be willful.She was wrong. Now she really wants to know what she is to him.
