Chapter 10 Entering Beijing for the First Time
Fu Shuo responded, but put it on his body a little worried, not knowing whether it would be swallowed by the ancient gossip mirror. At this time, Wang Tielli was swimming out of the river with water, holding a small white jade bowl and said, "Sir, this is the black armored water that will be left behind!"
Fu Tianchou said oh and took it over. Seeing that the white jade bowl was the size of a fist, there was a pool of clear water inside, but it could not be poured out. Knowing that this was not a mortal water, when I was really playing around, I heard Mr. Zhang sigh: "Oh!"
Fu Tianchou was shocked: "Why is Mr. Zhang sighing now?"
Mr. Zhang said, "Now the world and ghosts and gods are in chaos. This world... this court is afraid it is..."
Fu Tianchou was speechless and was speechless. He was so excited that he handed the white jade bowl to Fu Shuo. The court was orderly and suppressed the three realms, so the saint was in power, and his ghosts were not gods. When the court was strong, even ghosts and gods dared to easily appear on earth. Only when the world was in chaos. When the power of the court declined, ghosts and gods dared to act rampantly. This is the so-called demise of a country, and there must be monsters! As a minister of the court, he naturally couldn't be happy when encountering such a situation.
"I'm old, I don't know if I can spend the rest of my life safely. Lord Fu, the court will depend on you in the future!"
Fu Tianchou smiled bitterly. Although he was a second-rank official, he could not pacify Zhang's military and country in the cabinet, and he could not be regarded as the core of the power of the court. Many things can only be powerless.
After a while, the group rushed to Beijing. Old Mr. Zhang also followed him. His wife, several concubines, youngest son and two grandchildren were drowned in the river. If he hadn't had two eldest sons as officials in Beijing, he would have been alone this time.
Mr. Zhang is knowledgeable, after all, he is a prime minister. He has taught Fu Shuo many things along the way. Naturally, Mr. Zhang has the vision and insight of being a human being for two lifetimes, which also makes Mr. Zhang look at him with great admiration and praises: "If anyone can revive the current situation, is it only Fu Lang!"
If you are on a boat, you will not encounter any danger. However, there are disasters everywhere in the north, either drought or flood. The imperial treasury is empty. The cabinet ministers asked the emperor to open the inner treasury for emergency response. The emperor refused to agree and had been in a stalemate for a long time. It was because of this that Fu Tianchou took leave and returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and he also wanted to avoid the right and wrong in the court.
These days, Fu Tianchou also told Fu Shuo a lot of the situation in the court. He walked along the way and found that his nephew had seen someone but was not ostentatious, so he did not regard him as a junior. He talked about the gains and losses of the government with Mr. Zhang, so he did not force Fu Shuo.
After coming to this world for so long and experiencing so many things, Fu said that now he has his own plans in his heart, but he is no longer confused about the future. Therefore, he is also very humble in learning and understanding all the knowledge of this world.
In a day, we arrived in the capital. There were victims of fleeing everywhere, and many of them gathered near the capital. However, they were not allowed to enter the city and were placed outside the city. Fu Shuo shook his head after seeing the resettlement conditions. The weather was so cold that there were no houses outside the city to avoid the cold. If it snowed, I didn’t know how many people would freeze to death.
The porridge released in the porridge shed for food relief was clear, and it was clear that the figures could be seen. However, there were too many victims, the canal was shallow, and the food could not be transported, so even these things were almost impossible to supply. Fu Shuo shook his head miserably!
In the past world, the Qing Dynasty was the best to help disaster victims in all dynasties. It was probably to punish refugees in the Ming Dynasty, so I learned a special lesson. The best way to help disaster victims and settle refugees is to do it, and the government is much more abundant than that of the Ming Dynasty.
Through this period of understanding, Fu Shuo clearly understood that the situation in this world is very similar to that in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the late Ming Dynasty. His heart was rumbling. Confucianism said that those who are well-versed in the world, and those who are poor will be able to protect themselves. Buddhism also talks about compassion and save all sentient beings. In the Taoist sect, if conditions permit, they will naturally benefit all living beings. Do good deeds and accumulate merits in this world! Therefore, Fu Shuo felt that what he did in the future was not to do his job. He did not only hide in the deep mountains and forests, and should hide in the world and benefit sentient beings. He practiced the ancient sage’s way of being a sage and an inner king!
This is equivalent to making a vow, determining the path he will walk in the future. Fu Shuo felt that his thoughts were clear and as pure as glass. The heart lamp transformed by the innate light became clearer, and the light suddenly increased several times, illuminating a small corner of the sea of consciousness. Unexpectedly, with a clear thought, this sexual power would be greatly improved!
The capital city has four levels of walls, outer city, imperial city, and Forbidden City. The inner city is roughly square, six and six kilometers long from east to west and five and three kilometers from north to south. The city wall is covered with bricks and stones, and nine city gates are built around it. The city gates are equipped with arrow towers and urns. There is a moat around the city, which is solid and strict. It seems to be a very complete defense system, but Fu Shuo clearly knows from the original world that no matter how perfect fortifications are, they must be defended by people. But besides him, even Fu Tianchou and Zhang Laogong would think that the capital is as solid and indestructible.
They detoured from Yongding Gate to enter Zhengyangmen Street, which is three kilometers long. There are two major buildings on the east and west sides of the Temple of Heaven and Xiannongtan. Zhengyangmen Street is straight and wide, with shops on both sides. The city is Zhaohuiying. At the end of the street is Zhengyangmen, the main gate of the inner city. In front of Zhengyangmen, there are exquisite Five Pail Towers and Baishi Bridge spanning the moat, which contrasts with the majestic Arrow Tower and Zhengyangmen Tower. The prosperous and romantic atmosphere of the capital is presented in front of you.
As the Minister of War, Fu Tianchou naturally had a mansion in the capital. It was a mansion rewarded by tradition according to the system. Once he resigned, he would still have to be returned to the court. Therefore, it was quite magnificent. Just based on Fu Tianchou's own savings, he would not be able to afford such a house.
At Zhengyangmen, Mr. Zhang said goodbye and went to each other. Mr. Zhang only had his family in Beijing and had been a prime minister for eight years, so he naturally would not have no place to live. The first time I came to the capital, I felt that it was more lively and prosperous than any city I saw along the way, but for a time traveler like Fu Shuo, these could not attract him. Only that classical style is fascinating.
In addition to Fu Tianqiao, the Fu family also had a wife and a concubine. However, Fu Tianqiao took a concubine according to etiquette and law, but he had no queen and had a concubine at the age of 8. He also had two ladies in the family, one named Fu Qingfeng and the other named Fu Yuechi. In short, they were like brothers and sisters, and both were his cousins.
