Chapter 392 (1/2)

When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty thought that nine times out of ten this matter would be settled, they watched the emperor, Cui Xuhong and Wu Taifu happily end the curtain.

Shi Fuqiu stood up under Xiao Yanjun's eyes and arched his hands at the Emperor: ”emperor, there will be something to say.”

Although the ministers were suppressed by the words of Wu Taifu and the emperor, they were unwilling in the bottom of their hearts.

At this time, general Shi stepped out of the line, and the ministers also received the just sighs. They looked forward to and worried about Shi Fuqiu, hoping that he could persuade the emperor to carefully consider the position of minister of rites, and give the ministers time to discuss at least. At the same time, they were worried that he was a military general. How could this talk be better than that of Wu Taifu and the emperor.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Shi Fuqiu.

Shi Fuqiu's father, Lord Shi, was a civil servant. At that time, he was just a counsellor of the general administration department with five grades. He had a pair of children under his knees. His son, Shi Fuqiu, was too naughty in his youth. Lord Shi broke his heart for him. Finally, he bit his teeth to let him join the army and threw him into Gu's army to practice.

Unexpectedly, Shi Fuqiu, who went to the capital to uncover tiles, fish in the water, indulged in wine and sex, and skipped classes from school every day, went to Gu's army and was cleaned up by Gu Shiqing.

Shi Fuqiu was also a bit gifted. He gradually emerged from the egg of recruits, followed Gu Shiqing, made a lot of military achievements, and climbed all the way to the young general.

Later, the Mongols were afraid of being beaten by Gu Shiqing and could not shrink out. Gu Shiqing simply stopped leading the army. He unloaded his armor and returned to Beijing and was granted the title of king. The military power was handed over to Gu Xingyun, and Shi Fuqiu then climbed up to a general.

Later, the four countries recuperated one after another, and there was no large-scale war. The emperor began to dilute his military power. That year, Shi Fuli was selected to enter the palace.

I don't know whether Shi Fuli's pillow side wind blew well, or whether the emperor found that Shi Fuqiu was a general. He began to reuse Shi Fuqiu and gave him half of Gu Xingyun's troops to continue to garrison the new frontier city.

Gu Xingyun, with the rest of Gu's army, was sent to the border with the western regions to garrison the border town of Ancheng.

Over the years, although Shi Fuqiu has not made any great military achievements, he has been stationed in the frontier all the year round. Even Lord Shi has never had time to return to Beijing for mourning when he died of illness. Princess Li also takes care of the things behind him.

Now, he can oppress the Mongolian people to take the initiative to make friends with their relatives, which is also a high achievement.

Therefore, although the emperor was unhappy with his departure, he kindly asked, ”what does general Shi have to say?”

Shi Fuqiu considered his words while saluting respectfully and correctly.

Over the years, Mrs. Shi has added a son and a daughter to him. His son Shi Jialiang has been with him since childhood. As for his daughter Shi Jiaying, he can't be brought into the military camp, so he stayed in the Shi house and taught by Mrs. Shi.

Now, Shi Jiaying is 16 years old, but he sees her only a few times, and he always feels that he owes her the most.

Last month, imperial concubine Li sent a letter saying that she had chosen a matching marriage for Jiaying. The man was Du Kun, the eldest son of Du's house.

In Shi Fuqiu's opinion, Du Kun's father Du Hanfei is in a high position, and his mother, Princess Yirou, is the emperor's sister. As the eldest son of Du Fu's house, Du Kun married Jiaying as his wife, which is really a good match.

Therefore, Shi Fuqiu agreed without thinking about it.
