Chapter 693
The Imperial Imperial
Mrs. Xu showed joy on her face, shouted at Le Wuchen and Tie Liduan, and then rushed towards the direction where Hong Wutian was.
The three of them were like bats in the dark, and soon left the area of the fire and disappeared into the darkness.
The Yuan army below was busy putting out the fire, and was in chaos, with only a very small number of people chasing them.
On this night, the glossy fire spread for unknown lengths, illuminating half of the gloss.
Mrs. Xu and the other two grabbed the horses in the city, rushed out of the city, and headed straight towards Shaowu County.
The Yuan army leaving Shaowu was still camping more than ten miles away from Shaowu.
The night is getting heavier and heavier.
Then, when the deepest night passed, dawn fell.
The fire in Shaowu County has been extinguished, and countless houses have been burned to ashes. The smell of blood is still floating.
The war in Minqing County also stopped, and the Song and Yuan dynasties went across the street, but at this time there was a tendency to be ready to move.
In Fuzhou, Fujian Road Grand Governor's Office, a carrier pigeon floated into the government office.
The little official in charge of raising pigeons saw that the letters on the pigeons' legs were tied with golden satin, and his face changed slightly. He hurriedly hugged the pigeon and ran to the back of the government office.
At this time, Lord Zuo Cheng of the Secretariat was afraid that he had not yet gotten up.
The Left Chief of Fujian Secretary-General--Pu Shougeng.
Pu Shougen was definitely a famous person in Fujian. He was an Arab. He moved to Quanzhou with his father and made a living by operating spices. He later operated ports and traded with foreign merchants, and made a fortune very quickly. Some people were rich and unkind, but he and his brother Shousuoping Haipi were made contributions and were widely loved by the people. He became a famous charity in Fujian Road.
Later, he was appointed as the governor of Fujian Guang and the position of Quanzhou Maritime Shipin.
He has money and power, which naturally makes him become the leader of the local coastal forces and has an influence that can be responded to.
Later, the Southern Song Dynasty lost power, and Zhang Shijie led the small court to escape along the coastline and passed through Quanzhou. Pu Shougeng asked the small court to take refuge in Quanzhou. For some reason, Zhang Shijie refused.
Then, Pu Shougeng suddenly broke apart with the Southern Song court, decisively surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, and helped the Yuan Dynasty take over Fujian Road.
But this did not affect his reputation on Fujian Road. Many people even said that the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty did not recognize the good people's hearts.
And what is strange about this is probably only a few people including Zhang Shijie and Pu Shougeng.
After surrendering to the Yuan Dynasty, Pu Shougeng served as General Zhaoyong of the Yuan Dynasty, the general of Fujian, the general of the military commander-in-chief of the Yangtze River, the deputy governor of Jiangxi Province, and the left chief of the Central Secretary of Fujian Province. His momentum was rising in Fujian Road. He was happy that Huang Hua was both the generals in Fujian Road, but the real military and political power of Fujian was still held in the hands of Pu Shougeng.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the King of Fujian, although it is a bit heartbroken.
The soldiers on Fujian Road dare not say it, but the people definitely regard Pu Shougeng as more important than the Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan who was far away in the sky.
The little official who raised the pigeon quickly ran to the back of the government office and then walked towards Pu Shougeng's residence without any obstacles.
He personally raised the pigeons that communicated with Dadu, unlike ordinary officials, and always had some privileges. Although this official position is low, they are all trusted by the chief officials.
Pu Shougeng has indeed not got up yet.
The minor official arrived at the entrance of the hospital where Pu Shougeng was hospitalized, and hurriedly asked his personal guards to come in and report, "Most of them have the imperial edict."
Imperial edict is undoubtedly a very important word. In the past, few imperial edicts were passed to Fujian, and it was bound to be a major event.
The head of the personal guard was still talking and laughing, but suddenly his face became serious and he hurriedly ran towards the yard.
But he obviously did not dare to rush into Pu Shougen's bedroom directly, and shouted outside the door: "Sir, the imperial edict has arrived."
"Well, I know."
Pu Shougeng's slightly deep voice soon sounded in the house, but he was a little lazy. He was Arab at any time, but his Fujian dialect was really authentic.
Pu Shougen took the plump beauty's arm away from her body, and the beauty sat up and changed her clothes for him.
After leaving the door, Pu Shougeng looked at the guard at the door and said, "Give me the imperial edict."
The personal guard quickly handed over the imperial edict. He didn't find anything strange about Pu Shougeng's disapproval.
In the past, most imperial edicts came, and adults always had this attitude. Anyway, most emperors were far away, so the emperor could not know what his attitude was.
Although the real officials of the border do not really take the imperial edict seriously, they rarely kneel on the ground respectfully to receive the imperial edict unless there is an eunuch who is sent to the imperial edict.
"Um?"
Pu Shougen was a little sleepy, but after opening the letter, his sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
The content of the letter was really shocked in his heart.
Abandon Fujian and other places to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty?
The emperor wants to negotiate peace?
He doesn't care about Guangnan West Road or Guangdong East Road, but Fujian is his foundation.
Can the emperor give up Fujian? Can he give up Fujian?
At that time, if he moved his family to Liangzhe East Road, how could he, the Left Chief of Fujian Secretary, regard himself as the Minister of the Central Committee of Fujian?
Be an official without real power on Liangzhe East Road?
What should he do with his business?
However, Pu Shougeng did not have the courage to resist the order. It was not easy for the Yuan Dynasty to destroy Song, but it was very easy to deal with him.
Subjugating to Song again?
This thought suddenly appeared in Pu Shougeng's mind, and his face changed rapidly.
Although he was the "King of Fujian...", his power was not enough to fight for dominance in the world, and he could only rely on the two options of the Yuan Dynasty or the Song Dynasty.
But if the Song Dynasty surrenders to the Song Dynasty, will the Song Dynasty still accept itself?
Pu Shougeng knew very well that although he had given up the Yuan Dynasty for a moment, he would have helped the Yuan Dynasty to seize Fujian later, and he would have offended the Song Dynasty court to death.
The Song Dynasty was able to accept its own hopes in vain.
"Prepare horses and invite all the worshipers in the mansion to come, even though I am going to Minqing!"
After his face changed a few times, Pu Shougeng spoke coldly.
The personal guard in front of him was a little stunned, "Sir, isn't Minqing fighting at this time?"
"Um?"
Pu Shougeng's face turned cold.
The leader of the personal guard quickly lowered his head, a little frightened, "I will make a mistake."
Then he hurriedly ran outside.
Soon, the horses were ready. There were dozens of worshippers outside Pu Shougen's courtyard.
These dozens of worshippers are masters that Pu Shougeng has won over the years. Among them, there are really powerful people who have a very high status in the Fujian River and the world.
Pu Shougeng strode out of the courtyard, turned over and "set."
There were no soldiers in the group, so they left the government office and followed the Minjiang River toward the Minqing County.
