Bianjing, in the south of the city, is an ordinary small courtyard.
Fu Yanqing was petting his pet dogs, not caring that they had just killed a person.
He listened to all the news collected by his subordinates.
"The Royal Camp Division has taken over the imperial city, and Luo Tongjun met with more than 20 civil and military ministers in the Privy Council. The details are not clear. According to the news from the general (Guo Qiong), Zhang Yongde declined the invitation to conduct inspections in front of Luo Youdu Palace.
Han Lingkun took over this position, and Gao Huaide took over Han Lingkun's position as the commander of the Ma Army.
Fu Yanqing grinned and said:
"Young man Luo has the ability to take advantage of you!"
He said and walked into the back room, his face became solemn as soon as he entered the room.
Queen Fu was sitting on the edge of the bed in a strange posture. Guo Zongxun held her arms with both hands, making her unable to move.
Fu Yanqing said softly: "How's it going?"
Queen Fu glanced at her son distressedly and said: "I took the medicine and now I'm asleep. I just don't let go of my hands."
When they rushed out of the palace, Liu Guangyi chopped off Fu Yanqing's horse leg and slashed at Guo Zongxun with his machete.
Liu Guangyi finally stopped. When Fu Yanqing stabbed Liu Guangyi to death for the last time, hot blood shot out from his throat and sprayed all over Guo Zongxun's face.
It caused a lot of irritation to Guo Zongxun.
A six-year-old child would be so frightened by such a scene that he would not dare to sleep. Even if he managed to fall asleep, he would be awakened by nightmares.
Queen Zhongfu recited a prescription for calming the nerves and promoting sleep that the imperial doctor had prescribed to her, and asked someone to buy the medicinal materials early in the morning and boil the medicine.
Guo Zongxun fell asleep after drinking it. Even in his sleep, he still held his mother's hand and did not dare to let go.
Queen Fu was concerned about the situation outside and asked softly: "How is the situation outside?"
Fu Yanqing said lightly: "Luo Xiaozi has put down the civil strife and put Zhao Kuangyin to death..."
Queen Fu said happily: "That's great, my sister-in-law is worthy of my great brother Zhou Dongliang.
Before she could be happy for long, Fu Yanqing continued: "His Majesty passed away!"
Empress Fu turned pale instantly and said hurriedly: "Then what are you waiting for? The country cannot be left without a master for a day. We must go back to attend to His Majesty's funeral and let Zong Xun succeed to the throne."
But Fu Yanqing raised his hand to stop him and said, "Don't worry, I have two choices as a father. You can listen first."
Queen Fu said strangely: "Father, please tell me.
Fu Yanqing said:
"Take Zong Xun and go out with your father, and succeed to the throne as the new king of the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, Luo Youdu must be appointed as the prime minister and at the same time in charge of the Privy Council. By the way, because of the rebellion of the Imperial Palace Secretary, the Royal Ying Secretary has now taken over the responsibility of guarding the palace.
Queen Fu's expression changed slightly, and she resisted: "Doesn't this mean that all the major affairs of the country are handed over to him alone? Where do my mother and son stand?"
Fu Yanqing shook his head and looked at his daughter, sighing: "Why do you think I came to Bianjing?
He said to himself: "My father joined the army at the age of twelve and witnessed the rise and fall of Liang, Tang, Jin, Han and our great Zhou Dynasty. As for the rise and fall of small local forces, there are no less than a hundred places. The doubts of the young master of the country will not change through the ages.
"His Majesty made you his queen in order to appease my old Fu family, but also to guard against my old Fu family. You have never been involved in government affairs, have no foundation in the court, and have no prestige."
"Listening to politics behind the curtain? It's a joke."
Queen Fu looked speechless and aggrieved after hearing this.
"not now."
"The quarrel between Fan Zhi and Zhao Kuangyin completely broke the balance."
"No one can limit the rise of Luo Xiaozi. The soldiers and horses under my father are not enough for him in the Royal Camp Division, let alone the Ma Jun Division in the Palace Division and the Guards Division.
.
A trace of fear flashed in Queen Fu's eyes, and she knew exactly what it meant to possess these powers.
Fu Yanqing sighed: "My father has been paying attention to Luo Xiaozi's actions. His actions tell my father that he can tolerate you, but you are not allowed to do anything bad to him.
Queen Fu raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
People from all walks of life, like most of the fathers in this world, can't get into it. They will go to the long run, damn the wind will come. Fu Yanqing will do well.
"With his character, do you expect him to protect you mother and son for ten years? Until Zong Xun is able to take charge... it is better to hope that the sun will rise from the west, which is more practical."
"If you go out now, Mr. Luo won't make things difficult for you. But if you block his way, my father won't be able to protect you."
Queen Fu remained silent.
Fu Yanqing said: "Don't even think about being conceited or compromising. When the time comes, you can come to the side of the emperor. You can't have that chance... As his prestige is getting higher and higher, even if he doesn't have ambitions, the group of people under him will
I won’t tolerate you either.”
"Honestly, like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, it is not difficult to keep a title and live out your old age. If you really want to be restless, regicide or something is too ugly. Who in this life is not surprised?"
Queen Fu turned pale and glanced at her son who was holding her arms tightly.
Fu Yanqing said: "It's not that dad is scaring you, Zong Xun is too young. In this world, no one will place their hopes on a six-year-old child. If you really have to force him to go up, what happened last night will sooner or later affect Queen Fu."
In confusion, he asked casually: "What about the second option?"
Fu Yanqing said with a smile in his eyes: "Just disappear for a while, or leave the trouble to Zhao Kuangyin."
"Disappear for five or six years, and wait until Mr. Luo has established himself in the world. With the magnanimity he has shown, he will not make it more difficult for you when you appear in the future."
"As for blaming Zhao Kuangyin... you returned to the palace alone. Just say that after you found out that Zhang Dejun eavesdropped on the secret, His Majesty arranged for the dead men to take you out of the palace. On the way, Wang Zhengzhong intercepted and caught up with you. During the fight, you and several princes
The princes were separated and their whereabouts were unknown. You don't have to worry about being exposed. Wang Zhengzhong and his gang introduced the Prince of Wei to his father, and used the terrain to wipe them all out. There is no evidence of death.'
"You can attend His Majesty's funeral, and you can also stabilize a few military leaders on the border and buy time for Luo Boy. As long as Luo Boy stabilizes the situation in the capital and successfully recruits the Forbidden Army in Beijing, none of the princes and military leaders in the four directions can be his.
opponent."
"Just look for an opportunity to give in in the future. Mr. Luo will definitely remember your kindness. When you successfully retrieve Zong Xun and others in the future, you may even receive a royal title, and you don't have to hide and hide yourself from others.
"But... with this method, you will not be able to see Zong Xun, Zong Rang, Zong Jin, Zong Tuo for the rest of your life."
Queen Fu glared at her father fiercely and said, "Why are you working so hard on the map?"
Fu Yanqing did not hide anything, and said bluntly: "Your father and I are not loyal to your husband, so don't expect me to be loyal to Luo. But Zong Xun, Chou Chou are both grandsons, they are all the same, and the wealth should not flow to outsiders."
,
Queen Fu looked at her father's shameless appearance and didn't know where to go if she wanted to get angry...
It is true that Guo Zongxun is destined to die as Emperor Zhou Chou Chou is now his direct eldest son, but the future is unpredictable...
Under such circumstances, what does it mean that Fu Yanqing, who has never suffered any loss, chooses Luo Youdu? Empress Fu has a clear conscience.
It was because he didn't think highly of their mother and son at all that he let the shrewd man make such a loss-making choice.
Queen Fu felt uncomfortable in her heart: "But Da Zhou is your majesty's hard work..."
Fu Yinqing has a serious Tao,
"My father has met a lot of people in his life, and he is well-informed. Apart from anything else, the only one who can truly inherit His Majesty's legacy is Luo Youdu. You may not believe what I said to you, but there is no lie in this one. Your Majesty
By appreciating Luo Xiaozi so highly, he should have seen that they are in the same boat.
"As for the specifics, I don't want to force you to do it. You can choose it yourself! I will wait for you outside the house for an hour. I will tell you when you have made up your mind."
Fu Yanqing looked respectful to his daughter, but in fact, he knew exactly what his daughter would choose.
When faced with power and family, most men choose power, while half of women tend to choose the latter, especially their own flesh and blood.
Fu Yanqing walked outside the house and continued fighting with his two pet dogs.
About half an hour later, Queen Fu strode out and said, "My daughter wants to attend the funeral for His Majesty. I wonder how dad plans to arrange Zong Xun, Zong Rang, Zong Jin, and Zong Jiao?"
Fu Yanqing thought to himself: "My silly daughter! You are so sensible!"
How could Fu Yanqing not know what Queen Fu was thinking?
It was just that he wanted to take a chance and was unwilling to give up his husband's power, but he did not want to take risks with Guo Zongxun. In name, he compromised with Luo Youdu and helped Luo Youdu gain a legitimate status. In fact, he wanted to see if he could find a chance.
If Luo Youdu didn't have this level, he wouldn't be able to sit in that position.
Guo Tun, who has Ya under his command, went back and took good care of him. With his status, he was also his own nephew. Empress Fu looked at her father who had arranged everything,
I didn't know what to say for a while.
Fu Yanqing narrowed his eyes and smiled, as if he had other plans.
When Queen Fu returned to the palace, all the civil and military ministers in the court were shocked.
Originally, when the king died of illness, the first thing that happened in the palace was concealed.
The successors made all preparations before announcing the funeral.
But because of Zhao Kuangyin's rebellion, the civil and military ministers all gathered together.
We can't hide it even if we retire, we can only announce the funeral on time.
The Guo family of the Great Zhou Dynasty really has no successors.
Without Empress Fu and the four princes, there was no one to attend the funeral. Wang Bo, the envoy of the mountains and mausoleums, was almost bald with sorrow.
As a last resort, they all planned to find a concubine whom Guo Rong favored to take charge.
The return of Queen Fu directly solved the big trouble. However, the separation of the prince also cast a layer of gloom on the hearts of the civil and military officials.
