Chapter 3 Return to Luoyang
PS: The writing may not be in line with reality. Don't associate it, because Youxiang doesn't know much about these things, such as the main hall of the Tang Dynasty palace.
...the dividing line......
Luoyang.
"Brother, let's go back to Luoyang again." Fu Tingzhu looked at the familiar and strange Luoyang City and couldn't help sighing.
Fu Tingxuan nodded with emotion and said, "When we left here, I really didn't expect to come back again."
"Well, don't sigh, you two. Go to the palace quickly. Although tomorrow is the annual meeting, all the officials above the third grade will be here today. You can get to know them. Maybe they can help you in the future."
Fu Tingxuan nodded, and the carriage continued to move forward. Soon, it arrived at the gate of the palace and was stopped by the bodyguard.
"Who are you?" The general guarding the city asked politely, "There's nothing you can do. Needless to say, those who can come to this palace at this time are all big shots. He can't afford to provoke them.
Du Fuming threw out his tiger seal. The general guarding the city was shocked. It turned out to be Marshal Du Fuming from Youzhou. He quickly said, "The last general has seen Marshal Du. I don't know who this little hero is?"
"This is my tiger seal." Fu Tingxuan also threw his tiger seal over, which shocked him again.
"It turned out to be Marshal Fu. The last general has met Marshal Fu. The two marshals, please come in quickly." This will be said respectfully.
Fu Tingxuan and the four of them entered the imperial city. There was no carriage or anything like that in the imperial city, so Fu Tingxuan and others could only walk over, which made Fu Tingxuan very unhappy. Didn't he walk for a long time?
After walking for a long time, when they arrived at a door, Fu Tingxuan and the four of them saw the real palace. The spectacular Taiji Palace were in front of Fu Tingxuan.
"Marshal Du, you are here. The emperor is waiting for you. This is not Marshal Fu. I have met Marshal Fu." An old eunuch guarded the door and immediately greeted him after seeing Du Fuming. This old eunuch is Eunuch Long, Li Yuan's personal eunuch, so he naturally knows Du Fuming. Seeing Fu Tingxuan standing next to Du Fuming, he can naturally guess seven or eight points.
Du Fuming said with a smile, "Duke Long, go and report it quickly. We have been walking for so long, and we don't want to wait any longer."
"Yes, Marshal Du." Eunuch Long asked a little eunuch in front of the door to shout.
"Marshal Du Fuming, Marshal Fu Tingxuan, please meet!" The little eunuch shouted at the top of his voice.
"Marshal Du Fuming, Marshal Fu Tingxuan, please meet!" A little eunuch 20 meters away also shouted after hearing this.
......
After several little eunuchs, Li Yuan finally heard it, and then passed it back through the eunuchs.
"Xuandu Fuming and Fu Tingxuan meet!"
......
"Two marshals, follow the slaves in." Grandpa Long took the lead in, and Fu Tingxuan and Du Fuming immediately followed. As for Fu Tingzhu and Jiang Hao, they were taken to the side hall, and the three officials were playing there.
"Weichen Du Fuming (Fu Tingxuan) pays a visit to the emperor." Fu Tingxuan and Du Fuming walked into the Taiji Palace and bowed down and said. This is a special case. Marshal-level generals don't have to kneel down when they see the emperor, which is also a kind of respect for them.
"Marshal Du, how are you doing? Your body can't be careless." Naturally, Li Yuan wanted to attract the two marshals in front of him, so he cared about Du Fuming's body as soon as he came up.
Du Fuming replied, "The old minister is in good health. Thank you for your concern."
"Well, Marshal Fu, you are the pride of our Tang Dynasty. When I see you today, you are really a talented person. I don't know if Marshal Fu has a wife?" Li Yuan knew that young people's hearts were particularly easy to be proud and easy to attract, so he praised. When asking about Fu Tingxuan's marriage, he naturally wanted to rely on marriage to hold Fu Tingxuan. Li Yuan tried again and again. After all, there were many women in his Li family, and the princess alone sealed 27. Don't talk about the princess or something like that.
Fu Tingxuan replied, "Tell the emperor that Weichen already has a concubine."
"Oh, that's good. I'll marry Princess Keyan to you. Is that good?" Although Li Yuan is the emperor, it is not easy to marry casually, especially for such a promising minister.
Fu Tingxuan said, "Weichen dares not resist the decree, but Weichen and Princess Keyan have never met, so they must not get married easily."
"Okay, Marshal Fu is indeed a hero. Several princesses will come out to have fun with everyone tomorrow. Marshal Fu might as well have a look at it then." Li Yuan was very confident in his Princess Keyan and said with a smile.
Fu Tingxuan agreed. After Li Yuan said a few more nonsense, the ministers dispersed. Tomorrow is the real annual meeting, so today is just to meet.
Fu Tingxuan and Du Fuming went to the side hall. Fu Tingzhu and Jiang Hao were both there. I don't know what happened. When they arrived at the side hall, everyone saluted Du Fuming and Fu Tingxuan. Only then did Fu Tingxuan notice that Fu Tingzhu and Jiang Hao had been eating and chatting, and ignored the others completely.
When Fu Tingxuan and the four of them came out of the imperial city, they found an inn around to stay. Many officials also lived here. After all, this is the nearest inn to the imperial city.
"Yo, Marshal Du and Marshal Fu, you two also live in this inn." A middle-aged man in a white robe came over and said respectfully.
Du Fuming said, "Sanda, you are playing tricks here again. When did I stay in this inn?"
"Oh, I told you that you don't need that money to buy a mansion in Luoyang." He said with a smile.
Du Fuming snorted coldly and scolded, "Who the mother doesn't know that you are the manager of Luoyang Real Estate. If I buy a house, didn't the money go into your boy's pocket?" Only then did Fu Tingxuan understand that this single turned out to be a "sales" person.
"What did you say that? What does it mean to get into my pocket? That money is not the emperor's. I just took out a little bit of it to support my family. The latter continued to say shamelessly.
Du Fuming found a table and sat down, and continued to scold, "You stinky boy, do you still want to hide it from me? You have at least five mansions in Luoyang, and the money on the surface is 30 million taels of silver. I've been thinking, why didn't the emperor deal with you?
"That's because I'm reliable, Marshal Du, you really don't think about buying a mansion?" You have to stick to the promotion to the end.
Du Fuming said, "Buy a fart, you boy, I'll buy a set of five hundred taels of silver."
"Are you kidding? If Luoyang City is worthy of your mansion, it will take at least 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver. You are arguing with me." He said with a smile.
Du Fuming scolded, "You corrupt official, where can I get 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver? That's all food and salary."
"Forget it, you can't afford it. Yo, Marshal Fu, you are not going to buy a mansion in Luoyang. How can a person with your status not have a mansion in Luoyang? Are you right? Shan Ding changed the sales target to Fu Tingxuan.
