Chapter 380 Fu Yanhui (extra update with Xiaoxiang ticket)

Prime Minister Guo is indeed a person with influence in the court. If he wants the emperor to agree, then the most important thing is to touch the root. Xi Jinping's naval skills are not very impressive and may not be able to impress the emperor.

But it's hard to say about the tax inspection. What is recovered is real money, and the one who offended others outside is Gu Shaoyu, who has nothing to do with him, a benevolent emperor! Thinking of this, the prince also readily agreed.

Then Prime Minister Guo turned around and began to give instructions to Gu Shaoyu.

"Shao Yu's trip this time is naturally of the utmost importance to mourn your grandmother. After His Majesty agrees, the 50,000 Tiger Guards will naturally go south. However, the thorough investigation of tax evasion in the sea and canal transport is also full of dangers. Yizhou, which will bear the brunt of the impact, is a tough nut to crack. You should be extra careful."

Yizhou, that is Princess Yuehua’s territory.

It is quite close to Jinling City. If the tax evasion in the Haiyun Canal is really inseparable from it, then the 50,000 Tiger Guards will be a thorn in her heart.

And Princess Yuehua is not the only one. The implications are very wide, as can be imagined.

But for the sake of their future, Gu Shaoyu naturally had to be fearless of danger and obstacles, so he opened his mouth and spoke.

"Yizhou will not be the first tough bone to chew, nor will it be the last. I am willing to go through fire and water for the Crown Prince and Daxing, without hesitation!"

He was a person the prince relied on very much, so after hearing this, the prince trusted him even more.

After the three of them discussed the countermeasures, Gu Shaoyu called all the deputy generals.

He told them the news that his grandmother had passed away and that he would return to Jinling City to attend the funeral. After learning this, they were all shocked, but when they heard that it was an accident, they could only sigh that things in the world are unpredictable.

Wei Lun and Zheng Deli, who were given the task in this critical moment, were both serious and said immediately.

"General, rest assured. The two of us will guard the Tiger Guards well and will not allow anyone else to get involved."

They followed Gu Shaoyu and took orders from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Although they may not have a clear understanding of the situation in the court, they know that during the general's period of mourning, someone will inevitably plot against the Tiger Guards, so they will never take it lightly.

After receiving affirmative responses from the two, Gu Shaoyu felt relieved.

Finally, after arranging everything, he led his men towards Jinling City with ease.

As for the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Guo, they naturally returned to Sui'an City.

Gu Shaoyu and his companions had not traveled ten miles on horseback when Wei Taiwei in the city got the news and rushed them to the Fourth Prince's residence.

Speaking of the Wei family joining the Fourth Prince, that happened some time ago.

Wei Jialian is now the legitimate consort of the Fourth Prince. Although some people outside have some objections to this, the Imperial Concubine personally asked His Majesty for the imperial decree to grant the marriage, so who dares to say no?

Thus, the Wei family got a chance to become successful overnight, and the fourth prince also got a powerful helper. It can be said to be a mutually beneficial situation.

In this mutually beneficial situation, Wei Jialian and the Fourth Prince had some genuine feelings for each other, which was rare. Therefore, with her mediation, the entire Wei family, and even the Prince Fu's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion, all turned to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Therefore, during this period of time, the situation in the court has gradually changed from the Crown Prince being strong and the Fourth Prince being weak to a draw. Although it has not yet reached the point where the fourth prince can suppress the Crown Prince, it has stopped there.

Therefore, both the Eastern Palace and Prime Minister Guo appeared to be under pressure, and the Fourth Prince's party also had the opportunity to show off.

In the study room of the Fourth Prince’s Mansion.

When the Fourth Prince heard the news, he was shocked at first, and then he showed some excitement. He looked at Wei Taiwei and Shang Qilang opposite him and said.

"This is a great thing. Gu Shaoyu will not be back for at least a year or two. The Tiger Guards are leaderless, so maybe we can arrange for our people to go in."

He had been coveting the powerful troops like the Huben Army for a long time, but the reason he hadn't taken action before was that he couldn't find the opportunity. Even though he was running around, he still kept the real power of the Huben Army firmly in his hands.

But the period of mourning is different, as it means completely resigning from all positions.

This would naturally be a great opportunity, but unfortunately, after hearing what he said, Wei Taiwei did not take it seriously and pointed out the problem at a glance.

"Some of the people in the Tiger Guards have been here since the time of Gu Yangang (Old Marshal Gu), and some have grown up with Gu Shaoyu. It's unclear what our people will be able to do after they go there. It's better to keep it the way it is now. At least we are all together and have a clear goal. However, we still have to shift our attention and focus more on the Capital Division."

The main people in charge of the Jingji Division are Wei Mingxian and Concubine Liu's father. They are both on the side of the Fourth Prince, so it is naturally much easier to arrange them.

The most advantageous thing is that it takes two hours of riding time to reach the main camp of the Huben Army from Sui'an City, but the people of the Jingji Division are based at the foot of the imperial city and can arrive at any time.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The most important thing in this war is to seize the initiative. Just with this point, they have a good chance.

Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince also felt that what General Wei said was very true, so he quickly spoke.

"Your Excellency, what you said makes sense! There were several vacancies in the Capital Region Office before. It's a pity that I don't have any capable young generals around me, otherwise I could have promoted them to the top positions."

Seeing this, Wei Taiwei told him the purpose of his visit today.

He just clapped his hands, and soon someone knocked on the door and came in. He looked tall and mighty, with a sinister whiteness all over his body. The most important thing was that he had a pair of eyes that made people feel cold.

As soon as he came in, he glanced at the people present and felt that the atmosphere had become three points stiff. Then he spoke to the Fourth Prince.

"I am Fu Yanhui, a commoner. I am honored to meet the Fourth Prince."

Although he clasped his hands together, he did not show any arrogance. His whole body exuded a confident temperament, and even had a hint of majesty that others did not have.

"General Wei, this is..."

"This is an orphan I rescued in Shuzhou many years ago. His parents and relatives were all killed by bandits. I felt sorry for him, so I sent him to Qingcheng Mountain to learn skills from an immortal. But a few days ago, he came north to find me, saying that his master's soul had returned to the mountains, so he wanted to come and seek refuge with me."

"So I took him in as a housekeeper. Who knew he would be so capable? Not only is he good at both civil and military affairs, but he is also proficient in military tactics and formations. I thought it would be a pity to keep such a talent at home. I brought him here today to show the Fourth Prince. If possible, I can arrange for him to join the Capital Division and start his career slowly."
