In the Emperor's chambers.
Emperor Huai felt that the day had been too terrifying. If not for the few ministers and guards protecting him, he might have already been eaten by those lowlifes! It was really eaten alive! Was the famine in Luoyang already so severe?!! Why can't they even have a bowl of porridge?？？!!!
Emperor Huai suddenly realized that his thoughts were the same as Emperor Hui, the publicly acknowledged idiot emperor. This was too scary. How could I, Sima Chi, be the same as Emperor Hui, Sima Zhong? Hahaha, Emperor Hui said meat porridge. I was just thinking about white porridge. I was just thinking about it and didn't say it out loud!! Hahaha, of course I am a million times stronger than Emperor Hui, hahaha!!
The little chamberlain looked at the Emperor who was panting on the dragon bed with a gloomy expression and suddenly laughed like a madman…It seemed that not only did he fail to escape this time, but he also lost so many ministers and guards. It was a huge blow to the Emperor…
After regaining his composure with great difficulty, Emperor Huai finally fell asleep slowly. But what kind of fate would await him tomorrow?
A few days later, at Heyin Ferry (now northeast of Luoyang and Mengjin)
Fu Di looked at the middle-aged man named Wei Jun in front of him, but his heart could not calm down. Although this man was only a small lieutenant, he actually dared to lead hundreds of refugees to rob the Hu people everywhere. He even went to the Xiashi Pass of Heyin to guard it. Now that he heard that he was coming to Mengjin, he immediately expressed his willingness to surrender. He even opened the gates to welcome him and was prepared to offer all the grain he had robbed to the Emperor…
Compared to Wei Jun's calm face, Fu Ji did not know how to face this person. This person was clearly a bandit, but he knew that the Emperor was in danger and Luoyang was in dire straits because of the famine. He really did not know if this person was too good at speculation or if he really had the Great Jin in his heart. Should he be killed or rewarded?
Wei Jun didn't know what Fu Di was thinking right now. If he knew, he would have fainted long ago because his head had already moved in Fu Di's heart many times…
Fu Di was indeed very hesitant. Such a person must be ambitious. If it was in Glory World, such a person could become a capable official with just a little control. However, the world was in chaos now. If this person had bad intentions, he might be another ambitious person…
Fu Di thought of this and quickly wrote a letter. With a faint smile on his face, he said," General Wei, the Emperor will definitely reward you handsomely for coming here to offer food. You can take my letter and pass through Luoyang City Pass. Hurry up and head there. En, you can read the contents of the letter first. It also contains my recommendation."
Wei Jun saw that Fu Ji was not suspicious at all and even wrote a letter to him to clear the level. He even agreed that he could read the contents before setting off. How trusting and magnanimous was this!
Wei Jun's heart warmed. He had thought that the ministers in the Jin court were all prodigals who would stop him from going to Luoyang and even rob him of his food to claim credit. When he came here, his nephew Wei Gai had advised him not to trust the ministers of Jin. He did have some selfish motives, but he did hope to do something for the Great Jin. The current situation was completely unexpected. He did not expect this old man called Fu Ji. He was actually so sincere. Not only did he not show any disdain for martial artists, he even treated him with sincerity. This really touched Wei Jun…
Wei Jun cupped his fists and bowed to Fu Di again. Then, he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to push the grain carts to Luoyang. Before he left, Wei Jun took a deep look at the old man before him, then slowly turned around and left.
Fu Di looked at Wei Jun's disappearing figure and let out a deep breath. His gaze slowly turned profound.
Fu Xuan and Fu Chang came to Fu Di. Fu Xuan asked in confusion,""Father, why do you trust this person so much? Now that Luoyang is poor, what if this person uses the excuse of sending food to assassinate the Emperor?”
"The world is in chaos now. Even if this person has good intentions, we have to be on guard. Besides, he has made such a huge contribution…" Fu Chang added.
After Fu Di heard Fu Xuan's words, he only smiled and nodded. When he heard Fu Chang's words, he glared at Fu Chang sternly. Fu Chang was not convinced, but he wanted to say something, but he hesitated. His eyes flickered.
Fu Di ignored his youngest son, Fu Chang, and said to his eldest son, Fu Xuan,"Shihong is concerned about the royal family for thinking of this. I am very gratified. The world is eager for success and instant benefits. Have you ever thought that if you kill this person, will the hearts of the world be cold? People will say that our Fu family has always been a hoodlum. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei officials once assisted Sima Shi and Sima Zhao brothers.）You are also the descendant of a famous family. You have a long history and can do the actions of those nouveau riche and short-sighted people!”
Fu Chang listened to his father's words and felt that he was indeed a little too eager for quick success and instant benefits. Who would know if he really killed him? As long as he did it cleanly, his father was indeed old…
Fu Xuan looked at Fu Chang and didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at the surrounding terrain. After a long time, she said,""I think the surrounding terrain is very suitable for hiding soldiers. Just now, Wei Jun waved his hand when he left, and there was a reflection in the forest on both sides. It should be an ambush of soldiers in case they were unprepared…"
Fu Chang only realized that he was really wrong when he heard Fu Xuan's words. Or rather, he still had a lot to learn. He had been too eager for quick success. Fu Chang lowered his head and bowed to his father and brother to apologize.
Fu Di was delighted to see Fu Xuan admit his mistake. He continued," Wei Jun doesn't need to go through so much trouble. He can just go to Luoyang directly. There's no need to pay a visit to me. Even if he doesn't have my letter, these grains are his pass…"
This time, Fu Xuan and Fu Chang became serious. It seemed that they had underestimated Wei Jun. Their old father was indeed experienced and scheming for the country.
The two of them looked at each other and felt a little ashamed. They thought that their old father was old, but they didn't expect him to be so much better than them…
Night, Mengjin Town
Fu Di had been busy for the whole day, but he didn't prepare many ships. The local people had either died or fled. Some of the wood had been chopped off, so there weren't many ships left. How could he gather enough ships at the moment?
When Fu Di thought of the Emperor's worry, he became even more anxious.
Fu Chang had just set off to inspect the various places in He Yin and would not be back soon. Fu Xuan was the only one left by Fu Di's side.
Fu Xuan looked at her father's anxiety and felt upset. However, she did not have any good ideas at the moment. She could only keep adding oil to the lamp for her father.
Fu Di suddenly coughed a few times and looked at his eldest son who was helping him. For some reason, he suddenly said,"Shihong, it's time for you to get married again. Song 'er (Shi Sunsong (274 - 302 AD), also known as Shilan, was from Fufeng County and a famous woman during the Western Jin Dynasty. Sun Rui, the famous scholar of the fifth ancestor, also known as Junrong, served successively as Shangshu Pushe and Dasinong in the Eastern Han Dynasty.）The two children have passed away for a long time, and the eldest branch has yet to spread its branches. Do you want your father to worry about you?”
When Fu Xuan heard her father mention her dead wife, she could no longer hide the loneliness in her heart. She lowered her head and did not say anything, but her thoughts drifted to the past. Shi Sunsong's graceful body and beautiful face were vaguely in front of him. His wife was virtuous and sensible. She was very filial to her father and loved her brother. He heard that his wife had a leisurely, clean, quiet, and obedient beauty when she was a baby. After becoming a wife, she received the reputation of filial piety, fraternity, loyalty, and faith. When she was with him, the two of them would often recite poems together. They were truly in love. Even if they encountered difficulties, they would help each other and face them together. Song 'er had never said the word' bitter 'in front of him. However, when he was 29 years old, which was the second year of Yongning of Emperor Hui of Jin (Year 302), he suddenly passed away on the fifth day of the sixth month of the summer. He did not leave a single word for him. In the autumn, he was buried on September 13. According to her request, her coffin was only five inches wide. He personally dressed her in the clothes she usually wore instead of the specially made new burial clothes. Because Song 'er had always advocated simplicity when she was alive, she was buried with some earthenware coffins and no gold and jade jewelry. Not long after she and Shi Sunsong got married, they gave birth to two boys. The older one was named Fu Yingqi, and the younger one was named Fu Huangyuan. Unfortunately, both children died early when they were two years old.
He left so suddenly, leaving nothing for her, not even a thought, just leaving her behind…
At the thought of this, Fu Xuan's tears naturally flowed down…
Fu Di saw that his eldest son still missed his wife so much, and he regretted mentioning the person who had already died. Fu Di could only sigh in his heart…Song 'er's death was too great a blow to this child. He had gone but left nothing behind. How could his silly son endure this…
Fu Xuan calmed himself down. He knew that now was not the time to think about love. The Emperor's matter had not been settled yet, so how could he think about other things? So he suppressed his longing and prepared to consider with his father how to get more ships as soon as possible.
Fu Di felt a little guilty because his words had touched the deepest pain in his son's heart. However, when he thought about how he had a lot of other things to do besides the ship, a 68-year-old man was indeed a little powerless.
Fu Di looked at Fu Xuan, who was adding oil to his lamp, and his eyes were filled with love. However, at this moment, Fu Di's eyes suddenly froze, and his face turned pale. His vision went black, and the brush in his hand fell to the ground…
In a dilapidated courtyard in the outer city of Luoyang.
The leader, Fatty, and a group of human traffickers had been waiting in this courtyard for many days, and the food they brought with them was getting lesser and lesser…
Ming Yue was still in a coma. Aunty Hong could already move. The woman in brown took care of Ming Yue and Aunty Hong, but Ming Yue's wound, which was bandaged by Li Xiang, did not improve. Instead, it began to fester…
