AD 1042

Chapter 41 Fubi leaves Beijing

Three days later, Fubi returned to the court. At noon, he sat for a moment with his father-in-law Yan Shu to the ceremonial department. After talking about the topic, he drank half a pot of tea, and then got up to say goodbye. It was not far from the ceremonial department. That is, as soon as he stepped out of the Shangshu provincial meeting, a person rushed to his face. At a glance, he knew that he was responsible for delivering letters. The little official Daihe. Everyone in Shangshu Province knows that it is unruly to run like Dai He unless something is urgent. Fu Bi couldn't stand it for a moment and shouted, "Mr. Dai, why is he running in such a hurry!"

Seeing that the opposite is Lord Fubi, the son-in-law of Lord Yan, coming from the opposite side. Dai He walked a few steps to Fubi as if he saw the savior and gave a gift, "Lord Fu, the small one is urgent, but there happens to be a letter that must be sent to Lord Yan of the Ministry of Ceremonies. If Lord Fu can do it for you, thank you very much." /P>

As soon as Fu Bi heard that he knew that the situation was obedible, he took the letter and raised his hand and said, "Okay, it's up to me. Mr. Dai, go quickly."

Dai and Qian En thanked him and ran out of Shangshu Province.

Holding this letter from Lord Yan, the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies, Fu Bi turned around and returned to the original way. When he came to the Ministry of Ceremonies, his father-in-law Yan Shu was busy drafting a memorial. Fu Bi did not dare to disturb his father-in-law to stand outside and wait for half an hour in the porch. The sun was slightly to the west. When Yan Shu got up and walked to the courtyard, he was the official again. Report to my father-in-law.

He took the letter from his son-in-law. Yan Shu first looked at the envelope and saw the seal of Li Chuhou, the governor of Luzhou, so he had less doubt in his heart. After standing under the eaves and opening the envelope, he opened the letter paper inside and quickly read it from beginning to end. At first, Yan Shu did not feel that there was anything strange about the letter. When he found that the letter was in the letter When it comes to Zhao Ze in Luzhou as a flying thing, this thing is like a pavilion, floating in the air, which can carry people, horses and things... When Yan Shu chanted the word "flying thing" repeatedly, he couldn't help laughing.

"Yan Guo, what do you think of Li Chuhou?"

When Fu Bi saw his father-in-law ask about his foreign official Li Chuhou's character, he thought for a moment before he dared to say, "Your Excellency, the subordinate only heard a little about Li Chuhou's character, and he is afraid of adult jokes!"

Yan Shu waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. It's just you and me today. Don't be polite!"

"Yes, my lord" Fubi respectfully saluted his father-in-in-law and then said, "It is said that Li Chuhou is cautious. When he was in Renshen County, Luzhou, he had a good reputation and broke a lot of injustices. The local people also supported it. This year, he has a name in the list of scholars, which shows that his talent and learning are not bad. Thanks to your majesty, he has released Luzhou with the grace. The magistrate has done a lot of work for officials so far. Some time ago, he went to the Privy Council and said that the bandits of Longshu Mountain had been subdued, and there were no more thieves in Luzhou to disturb the people. In this way, it seems that Li Chuhou is a talent!"

Yan Shu smiled and nodded, "It's true that you are talented, but why do you make up some strange words to coax your majesty to smile today!"

Fu Bi frowned and said, "I didn't read what was written in the letter. How did he make up strange words to coax your majesty to smile?"

But you can't say that. Fubi just followed his father-in-law's words and said, "Then he is too bold. If your majesty knows such things, your majesty is very holy today. Isn't Li Chuhou not afraid of losing his officialdom?"

Yan Shu shook his head and said, "Yang Guo, you are a Beijing official and you don't know anything about the local affairs. The letter said that there are no more than thousands of people who saw Zhao Ze traveling between Luzhou Prefecture and Shu County on the flying things, and there are many famous people with surnames. Look at the magistrate himself, Lord Xia Yuxia, and There are He Tan, the judge in the government, Pang Yuanying, the governor Hu Yan Shouxin, the commander Hou Zhong, and Chen Wei, the magistrate of Shu County... It can be proved. In this way, Yan Guo, do you think this is still a joke? Are these people really not smart?

"Then, how can you say that this is a strange power!" Fu Bi asked puzzledly.

"Na Yanguo, what do you think Xiangrui will explain?" Yan Shu patted his son-in-law on the shoulder and asked.

"This is auspicious. The subordinate thinks it is dispensable. You can't believe it, and you can't believe it!"

"Well, I'm not mistaken. My son-in-law belongs to Yanguo. You are the most promising, but today it's just us. Father-in-law, I can tell you that auspicious is really just to coax your majesty with a smile, so what do you think of this flying thing!"

"So, does your father-in-law mean that this flying thing is also auspicious?" Fubi uses the four words of his father-in-law to call Yan Shu, which seems to be closer.

Yan Shu knew it in his heart and nodded.

"Then, don't report it!"

"Report, of course, we have to report, but we have to find out before reporting. I want to take this to let you go to Beijing to Luzhou to have a look, which can be used as a reference for future release!" Yan Shu told Fu Bi what was in his heart.

Fu Bi bowed deeply, "This matter is all up to adults, and the subordinates should do their best for the court!"

"It's so good, it's so good. If you're not arrogant or impatient, you can be a superior person!"

In the early morning of the next day, the eunuch of Si Dian sang loudly and had something to do, and left the court.

According to the size of the official rank, the civil and military officials in the Wende Hall put forward the things that had not been dealt with yesterday one by one. It was not finished until Emperor Renzong gave the will. However, this early morning performance was quite tiring. It was not until nearly noon that it came to an end. Yan Shu waited for the second and three divisions to quarrel, and the officials of the six departments also used up their saliva. , just took a step forward and started loudly. Zhao Ze in Luzhou was a matter of flying in the sky. Because it was understated, Renzong sounded to be auspicious in Luzhou. Although this matter was not big, it was better to send an official to see it. Renzong nodded and said that it would be better for Lord Yan to arrange this matter. Yan Shu thanked him and had audacity. I asked for someone, and Renzong said Lord Yan to listen to it.

Yan Shu said that Fu Bi could take on this task.

Renzong heard that it was Fubi, and he was also very satisfied. Some time ago, he came back from the Liao Dynasty. The news brought back was not bad. This time, it was okay for him to go to Beijing. Next, Renzong announced on the spot: Fu Bi went to Luzhou Prefecture to check Xiangrui and appease the people along the way in the name of imperial messengers!

Renzong was originally an unintentional move. As he spoke, he gave Fubi the title of imperial envoy. However, the envoy's return to the imperial envoy does not mean that the officials along the way are under your control. It's just a name. The officials who go out to explore Xiangrui are still working for the official family anyway. They have to live up their face. The title of envoy is enough. That's enough.

Renzong's words fell, and Wang Deyi, the Duke of Ji, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know something. I want to ask Lord Yan to tell me!"

As soon as Renzong heard that it was the old minister Wang De, he took over and said, "Why do you want to ask Lord Yan about Aiqing? You might as well say it directly!"

Wang De held the tiger's body in his hand and took a step forward. "Dare to ask Lord Yan, what is it?"

Yan Shuchao and Wang De nodded slightly, and then answered loudly to Renzong: "The thing flying in the sky is auspicious Ruier. When Lord Fubifu goes to see it, he will know that this is God blesses the Song Dynasty."

Renzong was very satisfied with Yan Shu's answer and nodded one after another, but Wang Deyu didn't seem to be satisfied. Then he asked, "I just heard that Lord Yan said that this auspiciousness was made by a craftsman named Zhao Ze. I don't know if the veteran is right!"

Yan Shu replied, "What the Duke of Ji said is right!"

Wang De had a little idea in his heart, but always between the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't say why for a moment, so he had to ask roughly, "How high can this thing fly?"

Yan Shu replied: "It is said that it can fly to the clouds!"

Wang Deyu continued to ask, "It's true that Lord Yan said that it can carry people and things!"

Yan Shu replied: "Of course, it's true. Who in the world dares to deceive your majesty"

Wang De put a snack and said, "How dare you ask Lord Yan, how many people can this thing carry?"

Yan Shu's eyes turned around and replied, "Hou Zhong, the commander of Luzhou, saw dozens of people coming out of this with his own eyes!"

Wang De asked again, "Can it carry multiple objects?"

Yan Shu replied: "It is estimated that it is not difficult to weigh a thousand pounds!"

Wang De nodded at the end, "Thank you, Lord Yan, for telling me... I have nothing to ask!"

Yan Shu's work was originally very inconspicuous and auspicious folds in the same situation. He encountered it several times almost every six months. Renzong did not understand the use of Wang De's questioning these questions. Even flying things are just to entertain people's eyes and ears.

However, Wang De returned home after dispersing the dynasty. Several Wushou's family, who used to follow him to fight on the battlefield, were guests. When he mentioned the flying thing played by Yan Shuqi, everyone joked and joked that if this thing was used at the border gate, no one could hurt his fur. After this, Wang De suddenly thought of something and hurriedly called The Yuan family disguised as the people and quickly went to Luzhou Prefecture to inquire.
