The atmosphere of joy and pleasure in the Qi Palace was completely different. The pressure in the Zhao Palace in the royal family street was extremely low. Everyone spoke in a low voice, with a cautious expression on their faces, and everyone was very nervous.

The entire Fuzhou City is almost in a state of jubilation. You can still hear the sound of fireworks and firecrackers burning everywhere. It is late spring, and the weather is warm. At this time, there is great news, which makes people more likely to release their joy.

However, the different from the Zhao Palace, the more jubilant the outside, the more subtle the atmosphere in the Zhao Palace.

Of course, King Zhao could not be dissatisfied with Chen Yutai's death. No matter how he is the emperor's biological father and the prince of the country, it is also a good thing for King Zhao to be able to kill a giant thief.

Foreign merchants like Pu Shougao would have some connection with pirates, but the prince of King Zhao would not be like this.

The richer, stronger and safer the Great Wei is, the more it represents security for the royal family and the near branch that is expected to be the crown prince of the emperor. The stability of the Great Wei is the cornerstone of the wealth and safety of the royal family. There is a fundamental contradiction between King Zhao and Pu Shougao in this regard.

The repression of the Zhao royal palace is of course derived from Xu Zixian's success. Xu Zixian's success means a lot of things. Many people will be promoted, and the King of Qi will receive the commendation awards from the representatives of the emperor of the two palaces. Of course, King of Zhao also has one.

This kind of merit and reward is honor to King Qi, and is hope for promotion for Lin Douyao and others, but is an absolute humiliation for King Zhao.

This is a shame, an absolute shame.

King Zhao was in Fujian for many years, from an ordinary prince to a powerful man. Before Xu Zixian appeared, King Zhao had a deep foundation among the civil servants, the imperial guards, and the wing army in Fujian.

In particular, the marriage between the Zhao Palace and the Changwen Palace made King Zhao take control of most of the civil servants on Fujian Road. After the death of King Qi, he took control of most of the wing army.

After the sudden change, King Zhao was called the governor of Fujian. The civil and military officials and garrisons of this route quickly recognized it and provided a large amount of financial resources. There were more than 100,000 imperial guards and more than 200,000 troops along the way of Fujian. This is also a clear proof that the Southeast's financial resources were second only to Jiangling.

Unfortunately, King Zhao and his son were really incompetent and wasted a lot of military weapons and wealth accumulated over the years on Fujian Road.

Many officers who, including human resources, were wasted their loyalty and bravery and were willing to serve the court.

"As this happens, is Your Highness still hesitating?" Li Gu's face turned pale, and his usual casual attitude had disappeared without a trace.

Before this, Li Gu proposed to erect Xu Zi on the fire, and there were some false praises. It seemed to be praise, but it was actually extremely obscure sarcasm.

For more than two consecutive months, public opinion in the newspapers and the public has been making a fuss about Xu Zixian's behavior in Qizhou. Later, they all agreed unanimously that Hou Nan'an had no way to Chen Yutai.

Now that reality slapped Li Gu hard, his plan was more like a child's nonsense. While the newspaper industry was embarrassed, the more embarrassing was Li Gu and the King Zhao behind him.

"Your Highness, of course, he has been constantly in trouble..." King Zhao was speechless for a long time, and Li Gu could only stand up and say goodbye, and his face was of course very ugly.

After Li Gu left the house, Xu Ziwen, who was standing beside him, said to King Zhao: "Father, what Mr. Li said makes sense. If this continues, Xu Zi first serves as the inspector, reaching his hand into the wing army, and then making any contributions. The old prime minister and King Qi, and the pacifier, jointly recommended him as deputy governor. Even if he is still Marquis of Nan'an, the threat to his father is still too great."

"What are you going to say?" King Zhao said unhappily: "Li Gu was so confused. Are you messing around? Xu Zixian is now better than your brothers. The more you do this, the more you need to calm down. If you read more history books, you will be so amazing and beautiful young people who have become famous seem to be powerful, but their positions in history books are quite limited. Those who are silent have all become prime ministers, three dukes, generals, and your brothers, and they have stood firm. Even if they are a duke, they cannot escape. Xu Zi let him go for ten years. If you can become a duke, I will regard him as a duke."

King Zhao did have some insight at the critical moment.

It is indeed as he said that the talented people recorded in history books are unknown. At the same time, those who are of the same age and have a slightly stronger family background are silently positioned as ministers, and they do not even need to work hard. They do business at will every day, and can easily reach the third ministers, leaving their graceful and luxurious demeanor and reputation.

But those who work hard seem to have recorded heavy contributions, but in fact, one step is hard, the ultimate achievement is not as good as those unknown nobles.

Xu Zixian's identity was there, and the fear of the emperor and King Zhao were there. No matter how many contributions he made, it would be difficult to promote his title and official position.

Xu Ziwen said, "Is the father too optimistic? With the strong support of the King of Qi, I will observe the commander first, then the deputy governor, and then the Duke of the State. How could the emperor make excuses? Is my father and son afraid of Xu Zi's intention to stolen the position? That's not to spread the matter and leave it to the public? If there is really a public opinion, is it my third brother or me who is more qualified to compete with Xu Zi first? The father wants to calm him down, and it depends on the capital. The father is over fifty years old, and Xu Zi's only twenty years old!"

King Zhao was frightened. He really understood this time.

People's hearts are on Xu Zixian's side, and time is on Xu Zixian's side.

"I understand, but Li Gu's method is not good. The ambush attack and killing the prince is simply a mess."

Xu Ziwen wanted to say something else, but King Zhao waved his hand and signaled the other party not to continue talking.

Seeing that his father was like this, Xu Ziwen knew that he had convinced him, and his body shrank back and his whole face shrank into the shadow of the candlelight, looking particularly gloomy.

...

At noon the next day, Xu Zixian, Yang Shiwei, Wei Yi and others escorted Chen Yutai's head back to Fuzhou.

There are crowds of people coming from the riverside, docks, official roads, and outside the city.

When Xu Zi stepped onto the shore first, he didn't know who started, but there were cheers everywhere.

Although he was a royal family, Xu Zixian was a Fuzhou native. At least the people thought so, and there was nothing wrong with that. Xu Yingbin was born in Fuzhou, and Xu Zixian was even a native of Fuzhou native.

The glory of Nan'an Hou is the glory of Fuzhou people.

Moreover, Nan'an Hou avenged everyone's revenge. Many people couldn't help crying when they were shouting. Many women rushed over, as if they were going to kowtow to Xu Zi first, and seemed to do something else. The scene was quite terrifying, just like Xu Zi first was a thief who did many evil things.

Fortunately, Yang Shiwei's third yamen runners rushed over quickly and cooperated with the wing army of the Tizheng Department to lead the way, so everyone arrived at the city gate in a little embarrassed manner.

A group of officials wearing red purple and red robes were greeted by the city gate. The King of Qi was included, and a large group of imperial guards and military officers of the wing army were also included.

Everyone bowed to each other. An imperial guards seemed to be a deputy commander, and said with a sour voice: "Our Great Wei is really a team training now. For such a big thing, did Nan'an Hou never think about calling our imperial guards?"

"I think, the imperial guards can't be under my regiment training," Xu Zixian smiled and said, "But without the Privy Council Order, do you dare to send out a camp at will?"

Everyone smiled. Xu Zi first gave the imperial guards a face and explanation. Chen Yutai was awarded the title of the leader. Except for the fact that the people from the King of Zhao and Pu Shougao were not unhappy, that is, the imperial guards' generals could taste it.

There is a saying now that Xu Zixian's regiment training is not only above the wing army, but also far above the imperial guards.

Xu Zixian's words were very clever. He did not think that the imperial guards needed to protect their subordinates in the regiment training, but he also praised the imperial guards and alleviated the slightest confrontation and hidden hostility between the two sides.

Liu Guangsi, the commander of the First Imperial Army, smiled and said, "In the past few days, our army plans to view the troops and horses, and invite His Highness the King of Qi and the appeasement envoy to go to the camp to watch the war. How about it?"

The King of Qi nodded and said, "Yes, the Imperial Guard should show off well, and I certainly support it."

The new commander has not yet taken office. Lin Douyao is also a commander. Supporting the Imperial Guard is also his responsibilities. He nodded and agreed.

"Is this Chen Yutai?" When the King of Qi stood, his waist and back were straightened, his eyes were bright and he was almost blinded.

Chen Yutai's head and face were wiped, which looked quite clean, and the cut-off area on his neck was also cleaned, which looked very clean, like a model of a later generation.

In any case, this is the head of a real person. Some timid civil servants are too embarrassed and dare not look at it seriously. Only military officers, including King Qi, and senior officials like Lin Douyao, show their positions. The power makes them more confident. When looking at Chen Yutai's head, including Xiao Zan, the standard civil servant, they all use condescending indifference and indifferent attitude to look at Gao when they look at Gao.

At about forty years old, his huge head looks a little bigger than an ordinary person. Chen Yutai and his brothers are both brave and courageous. He was a sailor at the sea in his early years, and his courage must be far more courageous than ordinary people.

Of course, his skills are also great, otherwise there would be no possibility of convincing the crowd among a group of bold sailors.

Such people have a sense of heroic spirit, of course they have to be displayed by living people. Now Chen Yutai's eyes are closed, and his face has a strange expression of panic that is uniquely frozen before his death.

Most local officials have seen this expression, and the death row prisoners always look like this the moment before they were executed.

"The famous leader of Qishan thief? But that's it." Zheng Liqi scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "We have no choice but to do anything about this person for more than ten years, and we are even afraid of him. After all, they are still young heroes of Nan'an Marquis. This time, they will eliminate a great harm for Fujian. I think the court should be responsible for socializing."

"This is natural." Yang Shiwei followed: "Fuzhou and Zhangzhou and Quanzhou are likely to be attacked by pirates. I think that Nan'an Hou should take on greater responsibilities."

The faces of the people from the King of Zhao changed color, and Xiao Zan's expression became unnatural.

If it were as Yang Shiwei and Zheng Liqi said, Xu Zixian would soon be responsible for the defense of Fuzhou Prefecture, and even the defense of the entire Fujian Road.

Of course, it is impossible to set up the commander, but he took office as the Fujian Road Observer, from the fourth rank official position, responsible for the training and coordination of the wing army. He is an official who connects and cooperates with the Fujian military and political system and the Grand Governor's Office. In theory, it is higher than the chief officer of various military prefectures, and he can also serve as the right deputy governor of the Grand Governor's Office, which happens to be a vacant.
