Chapter 410 Knowing to advance and retreat

After the You hour, He Fu left the simple and elegant Five Army Governor's Office and walked out of the imperial city through Hongwu Gate.

It was not snowing in the capital at the end of the winter moon, and the cold was gradually coming.

Everything seemed calm under the gloomy sky.

But He Fu has seen big events rushing, and even feels that the undercurrents are surging where they cannot see.

When he returned to the Marquis' Mansion west of the imperial city, He Fu met his wife Xu. Xu whispered: My niece is here, my brother Xu Zhang's daughter, cried for an afternoon.

What did she do? He Fu frowned.

I was divorced by King Zhao and was wronged at home. I asked me to complain.Xu said.

Before Xu married He Fu, he was a widow.Her younger brother Xu Zhang was once a military general in the escort of the Yàn palace.

The daughter of Xu Zhang, a military general of the Yàn Prince's Mansion, married King Zhao Zhu Gaoshu in Yonglechu.

Later, because Emperor Taizong (Zhu Di) wanted to marry the Mu Mansion, and that Madam Xu had not had a child for several years, she was divorced by King Zhao and returned to her parents' home.

In this world, if a woman is divorced by her husband's family, it would be a great humiliation. Both relatives usually turn against each other and abandoned women should hang themselves and break up!

Since Madam Xu survived, isn’t it natural to suffer some grievances?

Xu Zhang suddenly fell from his royal relatives, and his relationship with the royal family became subtle; the royal family might also feel a little sorry for this old general of the Yàn royal family, but instead avoided him.

Xu Zhang was probably even more unhappy and would inevitably blame his daughter for her unscrupulous belly.

So He Fu immediately muttered again: I wonder if there is anything to cry about?I don’t know why I’m crying to you!

Xu whispered: I have lost my husband before, maybe she thinks that my aunt and nephew can be together with each other.

He Fu glared at him and said nothing. Now that he and Xu have been married for many years, they have a good relationship. How can they share the same illness with Xu Zhang's daughter?

He Fu walked into the living room of the inner house and asked Miss Xu to meet her.Anyway, they are relatives, and if they don’t meet each other, they seem to be too snobbish and ruthless.

After Madam Xu came in, He Fu looked at her and saw that Madam Xu was different in figures from her father Xu Zhang and her aunt Xu.

Madam Xu is a little short, petite and a small face. Although she is very young and tender, her appearance really looks like a little girl and doesn't have the demeanor of a lady.

Her eyes were red. When she saw the courtesy, she did not complain to He Fu and acted silently.

He Fu asked on his own initiative: Your father asked you to come?

Madam Xu shook her head, but said pity: When it comes to my son-in-law, I just miss my aunt, I want to come.

After hearing this, He Fu changed his words and asked: Is your father allowed?

This time, Madam Xu nodded.

He Fu immediately couldn't help thinking: As a hero of Jingnan, Xu Zhang was blocked from following the path of the Yàn Prince's Mansion; was he trying to redirectly use the power of He Fu and other former Jianwen generals?

But then He Fu shook his head slightly, feeling that he was worried... Because Xu Zhang didn't know what Xu Huizu discussed.

He Fu said: What is the cost of clothing required? Just tell your aunt.

Mr. Xie takes care of him.Madam Xu hurriedly lowered her head.

He Fu sighed and walked out of the living room.Madam Xu was originally a princess, but now she looks so depressed that she really feels mixed when she sees her...

The dinner was not ready yet, He Fu walked into the study and sat.He didn't write or read, so he just sat there thinking about things.

He Fu had thought by chance that Xu Zhang might be able to use his own power... After all, the old general Jianwen is planning to recover, and there is a chance!

Today, the three Dukes and Queens of Xu Huizu, He Fu and Wu Gao talked for a while at the Governor's Office of the Five Army, talking about the country and military affairs, and also talked about the deployment of some of the next round of major battles in the counter-rebellion war.

But He Fu has already picked out the most critical points from the grand topic.

Who will serve as the commander-in-chief to assist Guizhou!

...There can be a difference between the nobles and generals in the court, namely the heroes of Jingnan and the heroes of founding the country.

Old generals such as Xu Huizu, Wu Gao, and He Fu, who were able to be a prince not because of their loyalty to Jianwen, but were already promoted in the Hongwu Dynasty and could be classified as founding heroes; some of them were following Taizu to fight, while others were their fathers to fight for Taizu.

As for Qiu Fu and Zhang Fu, they were nothing in the past. They could gain power all by seeking the throne for Emperor Taizong, so they were called Jingnan heroes.

Many people have died among the heroes of Jingnan, and most of the younger generations have not yet grown up; Zhang Yu's son Zhang Fu is the most favored general.

Zhang Fu's meaning is not to be a general on the battlefield in Guizhou, but to be a general of Pinghan and to command the military and political affairs of several southwestern provinces!

Zhang Fu was the military general with the greatest opportunity. He was not only an important general of the Yàn kingdom, but also took the lead in the dispute between the sons of Taizong.

He is very reliable in his background and loyalty, and he has made great achievements in Annan Country, performed well, and has great ability...

As for the founding heroes, Xu Huizu gradually came out of the cage because of the death of Emperor Taizong and the liquidation of the Jianwen old party.

However, their vitality is far from recovering, so it is impossible to compete with the heroes of Jingnan in one step.

Now He Fu understands the intentions of the old party.

Xu Huizu wanted to oppose Zhang Fu's proposal to temporarily suspend the decisive battle and siege the southwest, and win Xu Huizu's own strategy of rushing to Guizhou, and his decisive victory in the southwest was recognized by the court; and then tried to make the old nobles serve as generals to rush to Guizhou.

Once the old party nobles have made great contributions to the fight against the rebellion, the old people will come back and return to the center of the court's decision-making, then it will no longer be a luxury!

It is not feasible for Xu Huizu to make money by himself. His identity is too concerned. As he said, this proposal is not feasible, and the court officials will definitely not accept it!So Wu Gao and He Fu are the best choice.

The two of them had long been granted titles, with both status and prestige, and had the ability to lead a large army through many battles. They surrendered early and survived the Great Purge of Yonglechu. They would not be stubborn enemies who threatened the lineage of King Yàn, but were those who could become loyal ministers of the court again, otherwise they would have died long ago.

Xu Huizu seemed to be more inclined to let He Fu lead his troops.This first step requires caution. He Fu has been a relative with King Zhao for at least a period of time, and it is easier to be accepted by the civil and military officials of the Yàn Palace.

...He Fu is now frowning, thinking for a long time, wandering around.Because he knew that he was not that simple, there were some inside stories that even Xu Huizu didn't know!

His younger brother He Lu was captured on the spot by the King of Han in Yunnan as a close servant who protected Jianwen and his son!

Moreover, in order to keep the matter from being exposed, He Fu also wrote letters with the King of Han, which are all handles... and there is also a relationship that even the King of Han did not know about. He Fu even felt that his situation was complicated.

So among the old generals of Jianwen, He Fu, who seems to be closest to the lineage of King Yàn, is actually the most unreliable person!

He led his troops to fight against the King of Han. If he wins, how can the King of Han not take revenge on him?If the imperial court deliberately loses his army, can he spare him?

Therefore, when Xu Huizu and others were considering how to return to the court and how to achieve military achievements, He Fu was considering how to protect himself and how to survive until the end.Everyone’s foothold is not the same thing at all.

He Fu thought hard and gradually clarified the importance of the matter.

The officialdom is like a battlefield, and it is not necessary to move forward bravely. When the situation is forced, retreating is a necessary choice!

The situation is still unclear. He Fu feels that he jumped out too early, which will put him in the forefront of the knife; it is better to take a step back and stabilize first.

Of course, He Fu hopes that the King of Han will win in the end.In this way, if the general situation is settled, you will be sure to win and there will be no danger at all.

On the contrary, if the court successfully suppresses the rebellion, even if He Fu keeps silent, if the King of Han goes crazy and exposes him before his death, everything will be over!

The subsequent situation is dangerous, and life and death depend on the Han King's thoughts.

He Fu already knew how to cleverly make Xu Huizu give up the idea of ​​opposing him.He remembered a small thing a few years ago and was ready to use it at that time.

...After He Fu went to the study, King Zhao's abandoned wife, Madam Xu, talked too much when she saw her aunt. After all, my son-in-law is a man, and there is another layer of separation, and Miss Xu and He Fu have nothing to say.

My aunt asked her quietly in the warm room: Do you don’t know how to serve a man?King Zhao doesn’t want to get close to you?

Madam Xu said aggrievedly: It’s really not!I had a good relationship with the prince. The prince was not very close to others and often had sex with me.The prince was still praising me by the pillow, saying that although I am petite, I am just so beautiful.He also said that he likes to see my expression and listens to my voice, no one can compare to others. He feels like a strong man.

The aunt spitted, her face turned red and she said: You really dare to say it!

Madam Xu said embarrassedly: In this boudoir, I only dare to talk to my aunt. The prince is good at everything, but he is too ruthless and unrighteous. He just wants to marry a woman from the Mu family and thinks that the other person has a higher status. If you turn against each other, you will ignore the couple’s kindness for several years!

My aunt said: Marriage is not something that King Zhao can decide.

Madam Xu sighed resentfully: I feel like the goods in the market. If it is useful, it will be sold. If it is useless, it will be thrown away. Alas!

My aunt comforted her kind words: It depends on who she is with...

Madam Xu lowered her head and was worried about herself.

My aunt said seriously: As long as your father can get out of the dilemma and have a place in the court, don’t worry too much.Look at my aunt, she is also a person who has married once, but can she marry your son-in-law again?He is also a marquis.

But Madam Xu couldn't get out of depression and depression. She murmured: This world is so boring, I really want to become a monk.Or maybe I can find a poor and humble young man to treat me well.

The aunt sneered: If you think so, you are wrong.If you and that person are waiting, it will be the end of a mouse entering the bellows, and you will not be able to deal with it.
