The Imperial Guard’s Revenge

Today is the ninth day away from Beijing. According to the plan, he should be stationed in Weihui Mansion at night. Fu Tingzhou found Marquis Wuding and asked, "Marquis Wuding, are you looking for me?"

Marquis Wu Ding responded lightly and said, "We will arrive at Wei Hui in a while. You should pay more attention to the palace and don't make any omissions."

Fu Tingzhou nodded: "I understand."

He said that he looked towards the imperial chariot in the center of the team. The chariot the emperor was riding was escorted by Jinyiwei. Outside the Jinyiwei were the officers and soldiers of the Wucheng Military and Horse Division, and Fu Tingzhou was in charge of the right road. But now, Fu Tingzhou felt that the direction of the guards outside the imperial car was not right, and asked with a frown, "Who is Jinyiwei on duty today, and why is the patrol different from usual?"

Marquis Wu Ding is over fifty years old, and his body is already prosperous. He is not as vigorous as he used to be on a horse, but his eagle-like eyes can still tell that he is a soldier. His face was wrinkled, and the corners of his mouth were carved with deep lines, which were daunting. His voice was also low, and he couldn't tell his emotions: "It's Lu Heng. Just now the emperor was interested, gave up the imperial carriage, and wanted to ride a horse. Lu Heng accompanies the emperor on a horse ride."

Fu Tingzhou didn't say anything, and raised his eyebrows slightly. No wonder he felt that Jin Yiwei was walking in the wrong direction. It turned out that the chariot was empty.

It is difficult to comment on the matter involving the emperor. Fu Tingzhou smiled lightly and said, "It's rare that the emperor is in a good mood. Commander Lu will accompany him in person, and safety should be safe."

Fu Tingzhou clearly heard Marquis Wuding snort coldly. The Marquis of Wu Ding prided himself on his high achievements and believed that the military attachés in the capital should be headed by him, but now, a young man in his early twenties frequently challenged his authority. Marquis Wu Ding raised the corner of his lips, and his face was clearly disdainful: "This is the best, if something goes wrong, how many people will follow him and lose their heads, can he bear it?"

Fu Tingzhou lowered his eyes and didn't answer. If the official position is achieved to a certain extent, no matter whether there is an old grudge or not, it will eventually become an enemy. A few years ago, Marquis Wu Ding had said good things about Lu Heng, but now, he has completely become an enemy.

Lu Heng's momentum was too strong. During this period of time, two major cases were solved one after another, and he was second to none. Civil officials, nobles, and Jinyiwei, many people have disliked him.

Sometimes, getting up and running too early may not be a good thing.

Marquis Wu Ding has been calling for wind and rain in the capital all these years, and he has long forgotten what it is like to be afraid, and he has no scruples in pointing out a junior. After Wuding Hou finished talking about Lu Heng, he glanced at Fu Tingzhou lightly, and said, "Lu Heng dares to be so mad, he just depends on him to grow up with the emperor. The emperor is young and mature, but occasionally needs to talk to his peers, Lu Heng seized the opportunity, you It's time to work harder."

Fu Tingzhou lowered his eyes, showing the color of being taught. After Marquis Wu Ding finished his scolding, he turned his face again and sighed: "I understand your scruples. This kind of thing should not be rushed. You and the emperor have no childhood relationship.

Fu Tingzhou said at the right time: "The younger generation is young and inexperienced. I also ask Marquis Wuding to teach me."

Marquis Wu Ding was very satisfied with Fu Tingzhou's advancement. With a self-confident smile on his face, he said with a beard: "The officialdom is a cold bench, and you have to be patient in order to be famous. Sometimes you have to stumble and climb for ten years, you are not as good as the old man. One thing to mention. When I was your age, I was still running errands in the military camp. You became a marquis at a young age, and you entered the officialdom smoothly. The starting point is much better than that of me and your grandfather. As long as you arrange it well, There will be a bright future ahead.”

Fu Tingzhou realized what Marquis Wuding was going to say. He lowered his eyes and stared at the reddish-brown mane, clenching his hands. The horse was restrained by the reins, shook his head uncomfortably, and snorted hard. Fu Tingzhou regained his senses, tightened his fingers, and finally lowered his head and said, "How dare the younger generation compare with the Marquis of Wuding. The grandfather died, the father ignored the common affairs, and the younger generation has no elders to rely on, so I can only rely on the Marquis Wuding for guidance."

The Marquis of Wuding nodded in satisfaction and smiled: "I read it right, you are indeed a self-motivated person. But you young people are always thinking of making achievements, but you are impatient to lay the foundation. There is a saying among their literati that you are self-cultivating and governing the country. In the world of peace, we don’t pay attention to these sour things, but the general meaning is the same. We always have to start a family first and establish a firm root before we can go high enough.”

Having said that, Marquis Wuding already understood what he meant. He can support Fu Tingzhou, but Fu Tingzhou has to submit his name first. Five months have passed since Fu Tingzhou's period of filial piety, and so far he has not yet proposed to the Hong family, which inevitably makes Marquis Wuding think more.

Fu Tingzhou felt a dull pain in his heart when he thought of the carriage he saw just now. He has always known her heart knot, but he can't help it. He is not only Fu Tingzhou, but also the Marquis of Zhenyuan. He wants to plan for the entire Fu family.

Officialdom is different from studying and practicing martial arts when you were a child. You can't solve it with hard work. If there is no one behind the officialdom, no matter how talented you are, you will not be able to take a single step. Those people in the cabinet now, when they were first admitted to the jinshi examination, which one was not a bloody, high-minded and honest, but after 20 years of ups and downs, they still did not recognize the teacher obediently.

Civil servants rely on teachers and students, military officers rely on blood. Fu Tingzhou often regrets that it would be great if Wang Yanqing was the daughter of a certain noble family, even if it was just a sideline, even if only the surname was the same, he would be willing to give up the marriage for her and fight for the officialdom. But she is not.

what a pity.

Fu Tingzhou finally smiled lightly and said, "I've been busy with the Southern Tour during this time. Liu Li is not ready, so I don't dare to come to the door rashly, for fear that Miss Hong will be abrupt. When the Southern Tour is over, the younger generation will come to the door in person."
