A few days later, Dafan's envoy came to Beijing with Dafan's local tribute and met Jin Mingzuo. On the same day, after Jin Mingzuo asked someone to accept the things brought by the envoy, he asked someone to check the records, and then Arranging people to find a place for these envoys to stay, their behavior is remarkable, and nothing can be seen. This time Da Fan suddenly came to Anqing to ask for marriage, and I am afraid that his purpose is not limited to this. 16 Jin Mingzuo held a banquet for the envoys in the evening. It was a very small meeting, and Jin Mingzuo's children were all present, but not many ministers came, and the scene seemed a little casual.

The crown prince got the grace to come out, so he had to join in the fun. When he proposed to marry the eighth son to Dafan, he always had to witness this moment himself.As for Jin Yuchen and the other princes, they were simply joining in the fun, and the reception banquet was in the palace, so they were free, watching songs and dances was also a way to pass the time.

"Father, I don't understand. The big party came to Anqing, why did you invite me to come to such a small banquet?" Fu Baiduan sat beside Fu Shiguo, and glanced vaguely at Shen Qingbie, who was sitting with the eighth princess on the opposite side. , Shen Funan and Shen Qingbie sat apart.

"For you to see, what the emperor is going to do today." Fu Shiguo didn't take it seriously, and calmly picked up the wine glass to drink.

"Dafan came here to ask for a marriage. The emperor also mentioned it in the court. I guess Dafan's envoys will ask for a marriage on the spur of the moment." Fu Bai guessed.

Fu Shiguo shook his head: "Oh, you are really not suitable for attacking the court affairs, and you don't care about it. The emperor has people arranged by me, and the matter of Dafan's marriage has been decided early in the morning. The emperor is thinking about marrying the eighth princess. However, in the past few days before Dafan came, Shen Funan hurriedly met with the emperor and talked for a long time. It was also about the matter of marriage, so I was a little curious about how the emperor would do the proposal. I'm not optimistic about the eighth princess marrying into a big fan."

"Indeed, Dafan is located in the desert, the environment is harsh, and the eighth princess grew up in Changzhou, so it is inevitable that she will not adapt to the conditions there."

"Silly girl, that's why I said you're not suitable for political tactics," Fu Shiguo sighed, "Dafan is a small country after all. Although the soldiers are brave and good at fighting and equestrian, they are still barbarians. Our Anqing culture is rich and splendid, and the army Neat and orderly, Dafan, as a small country affiliated to Anqing, dares to think about the sons and daughters of the royal family. If the princess marries, Anqing Kingdom will become a joke among countries. A person who can do such short-sighted things is not worthy of the position of Ninety-Five Supremes."

Fu Bai lowered his eyebrows. She thought that her father was thinking about the eighth princess's life-long happiness, but she didn't expect that it was for the benefit that sounded distant and cold. It sounded like it was for the country and the people, but Fu Bai knew that father would not be so Generous and great, he doesn't even care about the vagrants begging everywhere in the capital.

"What exactly does Dad want me to do? You also said that I don't understand political matters, and I don't have a mind, but why do you want me to come here?"

"If you don't know how to go to school," Fu Shiguo sternly growled, "put away your unnecessary concerns, you have half the military power of the Northern and Southern Army, if you can raise your prestige in front of civil servants, the Fu family will inevitably rely on you in the future, If I die, the Fu family will depend on you to protect me."

"How come... Dad, don't you still have a big brother?" Fu Bai couldn't believe it. Isn't the current Fu family very good?

"Don't mention your elder brother to me!" Fu Shiguo suppressed the anger in his heart, "He is now the emperor's dog, and he doesn't listen to anyone. From then on, he has nothing to do with the Fu family. Besides, your elder brother is a guard But the imperial guards will only listen to the emperor after all. Everyone can be a leader, and the actual power is in the hands of the emperor. A female general like you has been excluded from the Fu family, and I have no other heirs to come Help me, there is only one you, the Fu family can still have their current status, relying on your military exploits, if the emperor finds a suitable person, he will find a way to replace you at any time. So you must not just know How can a general be a reckless man like the one he learned in the military camp! You have to try to cultivate your own cronies in the army, so naturally you have to learn from the people in the palace how to talk to people, hell! Bullshit."

"But, Dad, I won't..."

"If you don't know how to learn! Otherwise, the Fu family will definitely die. Do you want to see the entire Fu family be beheaded? Dad is already a member of the Ninth Prince's side. When the time comes, the snipe and the clam will fight, and the winner will be the king and loser. We pin all our hopes on one person, and we have to leave a way out for ourselves." Fu Shiguo's eyes widened, "Xiaobai, dad is getting old, and he can't keep the Fu family forever. Your elder brother is a bastard. Fortunately, you You are a smart child, if you suffer from it in the future, you will save the entire Fu family, even if your father dies, he will rest in peace."

Fu Bai clenched her fists tightly and her nails sank into her flesh. Although she still couldn't really understand what her father said, she knew that she had no way out, didn't she?She wants to protect the Fu family and all the people in the Fu family.

"Father, don't worry, the child will study hard." Fu Bai gritted his teeth and vowed.

Fu Shiguo patted Fu Bai on the back reassuringly: "Don't be afraid, Dad is still here and can still protect you."

Jin Mingyang has been staring straight at An Lianxi, and seeing An Lianxi avoiding his eyes, he feels proud. It seems that An Lianxi has not told anyone that he is contemptuous of her, which means that An Lianxi has a heart in his heart. There is a fear of him, and once you are afraid of a person, you will become helpless.

An Lianxi's heart trembled when Jin Mingyang stared at her. She always felt that the prince's eyes were terrifying, as if he wanted to tear her apart. Endless darkness and fear filled her heart, and she was about to cry, but the mother beside her She was still chatting and laughing with the imperial grandmother, she didn't want to say such things on this occasion, so she had to endure it, and she didn't want to go back to the room by herself, that would only aggravate her uneasiness.

At the right time, Jin Mingzuo finally spoke: "Dafan has always abided by the contract between the two countries and did not come to disturb me. I am very pleased. This time, my lovers come to propose marriage and want to marry a woman from the Anqing Kingdom. How can I not allow it? Then Just posting a notice in the capital to select a few well-educated, dignified and virtuous women, this is An Qing's kindness to Dafan."

As soon as he said this, the envoy quickly thanked him. He couldn't say anything more. Anyway, this is Anqing, and they walked all the way, and found that the interior of Anqing Kingdom is very peaceful, and the people are harmonious and friendly. The guards and guards in the palace are very friendly Well-trained and law-abiding, this is what a strong and powerful country should look like!They can only choose to surrender.

Fu Shiguo said to Fu Bai: "What I want to teach you here is that you must always let your subordinates know that you are a general, and they can only obey you, instead of hijacking and demanding you. You are a kindness to them, so that you can grasp the hearts of your subordinates and prevent them from having second thoughts and framing you."

Fu Bai nodded: "My child will remember."

Fu Shiguo nodded: "Take your time, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, the current situation is still stable. As long as the crown prince's position remains intact, nothing will change the situation."

"Yes."

Shen Qingbie on the opposite side also poured wine for Jin Guangxi leisurely: "Why don't you drink some to celebrate?"

Jin Guangxi couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth, so he simply didn't hide it anymore: "Yes, we can have a drink."

"No matter what, Anqing can't throw you out. The Eighth Princess is not just the Eighth Princess. Your father is the monarch of Anqing Kingdom. Then you represent the entire Anqing Dynasty. The Emperor will not be so hasty."

Jin Guangxi still smiled: "I still want to tell you, thank you, if there are difficulties in the future, I will go all out."

"But it's just a stopgap measure. You've reached your age, and the emperor will marry you no matter what."

"I have my own arrangements for this."

It seemed that she didn't want to talk to herself, so Shen Qingbie also picked up the wine glass.

Jin Mingyang was the only one who turned black in this matter, why wasn't he the way they agreed in advance?Just when he wanted to go to Jin Mingzuo's place, he was stared back by the other party. He wanted to go back to his East Palace, but was told by the person sent by his father not to leave before the banquet was over. Jin Mingzuo wanted a straw bag The prince thought about his mistakes, but Jin Mingyang didn't appreciate it, and sat in place drinking alcohol.

What an idiot!Jin Mingzuo didn't even want to look over there.

Jin Yuchen and Shen Funan walked over to Pei Yuanjin's side with wine, and toasted for the last case in Chen Guogong's mansion. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at An Lianxi, who blushed a little while drinking wine intermittently.

After Shen Funan briefly said a few words, he went to other places to win over. Jin Yuchen looked at Pei Yuanjin's stern face and said, "Why do you make it so out of place here? That's not how you keep neutral."

Pei Yuanjin smiled and said: "Of course, you won't feel sorry or sad because of a young girl who will be destroyed later."

"Don't pretend to be noble, don't you accept what I give you?" Jin Yuchen smirked, outsiders looked at these two people as if they were having a good conversation.

"Poor little princess is so sincere to you." Pei Yuanjin didn't want to stop. Suddenly, his conscience realized that it was ridiculous to rein in a horse from a cliff, and he had already decided to go to hell. "The sachet will appear in the small county later. On the body of the Lord, the people who help her go to the East Palace will also be our subordinates. It seems that the dead men you raised before you were imprisoned were all very enlightened. Everywhere in this palace, there are people from you. Not many, but you really know how to arrange it.”

"In the household registration census law I proposed back then, my grandfather took advantage of a big loophole and cultivated a bunch of people without status. After the Dongchuang incident happened, they all hid. I let some of them enter the palace for emergencies. There are my people in the clan mansion, the imperial study room, and the small departments of the big palaces. If you want to sit in the temple and talk about wars on paper, how can you do without eyes. Besides, you can hide in the deep palace for so long without being discovered, Mr. Pei. Didn't you participate?" Jin Yuchen held it up and was brought to him, "We are the same breed, there is no difference, if we have to separate you and me, then I am the executioner, and you are the ax in my hand, aren't you?"

Pei Yuanjin picked up the wine glass, touched it lightly, and drank it all in one gulp. The bright moon above was still bright and clear, but with a piercing coolness: "The wind is blowing, the east wind, the general trend."
