Steel Dynasty - Chapter 141

[Chapter 141 Fiji]

Chang’an City, Qiu Shanfang.

This is a folk village that is well-known to everyone in Chang’an City, because in this folk village lives the Fei family, known as the Four Generations and Three Dukes, with disciples and former officials all over the world.

On weekdays, there is an endless stream of people coming in and out of Fei’s house, including high officials of the court, literati, and even generals in the army.

There is no other reason. The Fei family is famous all over the world. Although it is not divided into one party like other wealthy families, after several dynasties, the Fei family has never disappeared from the court. The cultural heritage is unmatched by other wealthy families.

It is precisely because of this that the wealthy families in the Chongqing Kingdom are all proud of being able to marry a daughter of the Fei family, because in this way, they will have an advantage in reputation, and the children of the family will be able to hold their heads higher in the officialdom.

After all, in the country of Chongqing, where powerful families are deeply rooted, the rich and powerful are very particular about blood. Those children from poor families who have become officials and generals from the grassroots have a deep sense of inferiority in front of the powerful. Once they get into the Fei family, they will be Then the chicken became a phoenix.

Today is the day of rest. Fiji, the current head of the Fi family, rarely gets one day off in a month.

Dayu State stipulates that officials can take one day off per month, commonly known as rest. On this day, officials can go out for fun or visit relatives and friends.

It’s just that on days like this, Fiji is always busier than when he was in court. After early morning, many officials came one after another, giving him gifts and chatting with him about interesting things in the city.

“Fei Zhongshu, have you heard about the newspaper matter that has been very popular in Chang’an City these past two days?” The person who came to visit was none other than Huaihua General Luo Quan.

Fiji was slightly surprised, “Newspaper? What is this? I have never heard of it?”

Unlike others, Luo Quan and Fiji had always had a good relationship. Every time he came to him, he just talked about things in the court, not like others. Human beings also have impure intentions.

Therefore, every time Fiji did not want to see guests, he would say that General Luo Quan was in the house.

Luo Quan’s fiery temper in Chang’an City was well known to everyone. When those officials learned that Luo Quan was in the mansion, they would understand and stop disturbing him.

“This newspaper was written by King Qi. It was originally circulated in Qingzhou, but this time it reached Chang’an. Do you know why Fei Zhongshu wrote it?”

“King Qi?”

Fei Ji looked a little strange. Xiao Wenxuan was alone a few days ago. After summoning him, he didn’t ask about government affairs, but asked how his little daughter Fei Yue’er was doing today and so on.

Fiji, who has been involved in officialdom for decades and has assisted two generations of emperors, immediately understood Xiao Wenxuan’s intention. He probably wanted to propose marriage to that prince.

But now among the princes, the prince married her eldest daughter, and the other princes also had princesses. It was impossible for Xiao Wenxuan to let the daughter of his Fei family be a concubine.

Thinking about it this way, King Qi is the only one who is not yet married.

After thinking about this at the time, Fiji just responded with a few words, and Xiao Wenxuan seemed to be just testing and didn’t ask any more questions.

But since then, when he mentioned King Qi, he became a little wary.

This Fei Yue’er is his youngest daughter and his most beloved daughter. She has been frail and sick since she was a child, but she is extremely intelligent and proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she has inherited her mother’s unparalleled beauty.

Every time he sees her, Fiji can always think of his deceased wife, because he dotes on his daughter more and more.

It is precisely because of this that Fiji never thought of letting Fei Yue’er marry somewhere else.

Luo Quan didn’t notice the change in Fiji’s expression and continued: “Exactly, a few days ago, I sent the dog Luo Xin to Qingzhou, hoping to help King Qi, but I didn’t expect that this bastard would cause trouble as soon as he went to Qingzhou. What happened.”

As he said that, Luo Quan took out a newspaper from his arms and said heartily: “These profiteers are really serious. A newspaper actually sells for ten taels of silver.”

The moment he saw the newspaper, Fiji’s eyes lit up. He quickly took the newspaper from Luo Quan and was deeply attracted by the content.

“I heard before that King Qi’s behavior is different from ordinary people. When I saw this newspaper today, it turned out to be true, but the decrees in it are beyond imagination.” Fiji said while reading.

Luo Quan said: “Maybe this is Pang Yukun’s doing. This person was depressed when he was in Chang’an, but he was quite talented and learned.”

“I know Pang Yukun, and he has some knowledge, but he has always been blunt and rigid, and he will never be able to do it .”

Propose such a weird decree to King Qi,” Fiji said.

Then he continued to read down and saw an interesting story in the army, which was about Luo Xin and the local guard Lu Fei. He suddenly laughed, “General Luo, you see what I said is right, Luo Xin You may not be able to stay in Qingzhou. Nowadays, the Qingzhou rich family is almost out of ten, and the King of Qi relies on the poor people. Naturally, those people can’t bear Luo Xin’s shortcomings.”

Luo Quan said angrily: “I specially ordered this bastard. But he has to be patient. This time it is just for the sake of the justice of the family and the country. Hey, doesn’t this make the King of Qi laugh at our Luo family? But if you continue reading, this King of Qi is very capable. He can kill me with just one poem. That bastard is left behind.”

The smile on Fiji’s face disappeared at this time, “The Qin Dynasty was bright and the Han Dynasty was closed, and the people of the long march of thousands of miles have not returned, but the flying generals of the Dragon City are here, and they don’t teach Huma to cross the Yin Mountain, wonderful! “

After reading this, Fiji clapped his hands and looked excited.

Luo Quan laughed and said: “When I read this poem, I just felt the blood boiling in my heart. I wanted to go into battle and fight with the barbarians to relieve the hatred in my heart. My children of the Han family have been bullied by foreigners for many years. When can I be like this? The Han Dynasty generally marched south and north, so that the barbarians dared not cross the Yinshan Mountains.”

In the court hall that day, Fiji neither agreed nor objected.

The Fei family can continue to this day, naturally because it can accurately see through the struggle in the court, and the most important point is that the Fei family never participates in party disputes.

Because of this, emperors of all dynasties have always been assured of the Fei family.

So from the beginning, he understood that no amount of arguing would be beneficial. The royal family was declining, and now he could only rely on kings with different surnames to guard the northern gates. The barbarians were powerful and everyone was afraid of them.

But in his heart, like Luo Quan, he also hopes that the Great Yu Kingdom can jointly resist the barbarians, but this is just his idea. He knows very well that under the current situation, it is no longer possible.

“I didn’t expect that the once stubborn King of Qi in Chang’an City would still have such literary talent. It’s rare, rare. Hey, I just hope that King Qi can stop the barbarians from going south this time. In this way, the Great Yu Kingdom can still be saved. Otherwise, the Great Yu Kingdom can be saved. Sunset is a foregone conclusion.” Fiji shook his head and sighed.

Luo Quan said displeased: “Why did Fei Zhongshu say such depressing words? Even if King Qi can’t stop the barbarians, I still have Luo Quan and the Imperial Army.”

“Humph, General Luo’s thinking is too simple. If the barbarians succeed in going south, , there was only one King Yong left among the royal vassals. From then on, the balance of power between the royal family and the vassals with different surnames was broken. At that time, I am afraid that the chaos in the Great Yu Kingdom would begin. “
