Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Fu's body recovered very quickly. What she suffered from was not a serious illness, but the imperial doctor could not diagnose it or find out the cause. The Taoist priests probably didn't find the cause, but they drove out the heat poison; some really powerful Taoist priests lived a long time, but I'm afraid few Taoist priests would see a doctor, and the reason is unknown.

She did nothing in Chenzhou.

Cao Tai met alone, and whispered bad things about another eunuch: "Wang Zhong has no good intentions for his empress. He made a face to face, and another face to his back. Or..."

Fu's face was calm, without any emotional fluctuations at all, just shaking his head slightly, sitting comfortably on a rattan chair with a half-smile on his face.

Cao Tai hurriedly said in awe: "Yes." He finally saw the queen back to her original appearance, making people a little afraid of her, but Cao Tai hoped that the queen would be so intimidating, not the fragile look before. The slave family and a lot of people all point to you, your mother.

The queen returned to the past, and felt that she had gained a new life; she seemed to be the same as before, but she was no longer the same as before... People who have died once will always change, but it should not be seen or told to others, that is not necessary.

I have been ill for a long time, and I don't understand many things. That Wang Zhong, when did he run to his side? Empress Fu used to hold the harem with one hand, and all the concubines, eunuchs, and court ladies were in the palm of her hand. Without her consent, could an unfamiliar person appear by her side?

Fu Shi said slowly: "When you don't see the road and the scene clearly, it's like walking at night. Walking at night and the street lights are still off, what should you do?"

Cao Tai thought for a while: "Stand still."

A smile appeared on the corner of Fu's mouth. A trace of charm appeared on her melon-seeded face.

She sat for a long time slowly, thinking about something. But her thoughts were still a little confused. She could remember every word and every tone of Guo Shao's words that day... Fu's memory was already very good.

Brother Shao... Brother Shao... She thought of him silently from time to time.

She closed her eyes and meditated, she didn't say a word for a long time, and her whole body was extremely slow from movement to demeanor, just like in the past. There was a slight blush on his face, and he seemed to be intoxicated. Everyone in the palace is willing to be around the queen, because she is always in a good mood and doesn't lose her temper.

Fu Shi suddenly wanted to see what Brother Shao looked like now, but she held back.

When she offered the alchemy that day, of course she liked to hear what he said, but the officials might not necessarily like to hear it. No matter what the official does, he is still an official. Fu Shi never thought of hating him because of his emotions, but he has lost interest in getting his favor.

She is the daughter of King Wei, she was born in a noble family, the Fu family is very powerful, she has been a prince for many generations, and the family has a lot of branches... But she is not the head of the Fu family, she is just the daughter of the head of the family, and she was almost forced to become a monk.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was also very powerful. It threatened the big countries, including the northern Khitan, with force, and befriended the small countries and the people with kindness. Although the world was not unified for the time being, the small countries claimed their vassals, and even the hostile big countries openly recognized the Zhou Dynasty as a state. The emperor is also a wise king. In this era, once the founding emperor dies, it is very difficult to secure the throne smoothly, and it takes a strong leader to maintain national strength and combat effectiveness; even Fu Shi never doubted that Chai Rong was a wise king. As Chai Rong's queen, of course she is respected...but she is not the emperor, but the emperor's woman.

The identity of the queen is more respected than the identity of the daughter of King Wei, but it is also more unstable. No matter what, she is Fu Yanqing's daughter, a fact that cannot be changed; being Chai Rong's queen can be changed, as the official said, she can immediately succeed the second sister of the Fu family as queen. If there is an emperor, are you afraid that there will be no queen?

You have to keep your status and prestige, and then you can do what you want to do, and let Brother Shao do what he wants to do.

If she didn't have the position of queen, she might not be able to turn around and have a place in the Fu family, and her own future would be lost; it would be difficult for Brother Shao to get ahead...he is too weak now. In the words in the courtyard, Brother Shao said that he only wanted to be a guard to protect the queen. I don’t know if he really thought so, did he already understand the way of survival in this world?

Fu Shi was very worried about him. She felt that she was not rewarding him now, nor did she want to repay him, but was just worried about him; she was unwilling to lose such a person, and hoped that he would be fine.

After thinking about it, she felt that although her starting point was different before she became ill, it still applies now and should not be changed easily.

"Cao Tai." Fu opened his eyes and called out.

"My family is always here." Cao Tai replied flatteringly.

Fu Shi said: "You go to Shouzhou yourself, ask for credit for Guo Dushi, and ask the officials to reward him... Well, if you can see Wang Pu, just talk to him casually and ask about the situation ahead."

Cao Tai said: "Here, I understand."

Fu said again: "I'm going back to Beijing, let Guo Du envoy take the inner hall to guard the soldiers and horses, and escort me back. Didn't the order of the Privy Council tell him to go to Tokyo? He should be in Tokyo now."

"Here, I'm going to inform the general on duty and Guo Dushi right now."

...

Fu Shi doesn't know how to ask about small things, although she always knows there are some small things in her heart. But Cao Tai and others will think of it, such as Qingxu, when Cao Tai went to find Guo Shao, he sent her back.

Guo Shao took the order and took his entourage to Chenzhou Xingyuan to take over the military power of more than 200 elite soldiers from the inner palace. Most of these people knew Guo Shao because he had served as Marquis of Zhidu in the Inner Palace; moreover, they were all the sons of military officers or ministers in the court, and they were very well-behaved people, which made it easy for them.

This time Fu Shi didn't take the carriage anymore, it was really uncomfortable to travel long distances in the carriage in summer, it was like a steamer inside. This time she took a sedan chair, a large sedan chair carried by eight people, covered with a yellow roof to shade it from the sun, and left open on all sides. But Fu Shi is an honorable woman, she doesn't want to show her face in public, she wears a veiled cap to cover her head, and she also wears an extremely loose robe.

A large group of people is mighty and mighty, slowly returning to Tokyo.

Fu Shi said a word to Guo Shao all the way from Chenzhou to the post road. In front of many people, she had just got into the sedan chair and said to Guo Shao: "You have done a great service for me. I have already sent someone to ask for credit from the officials. The officials will definitely reward you."

Guo Shao thanked him gratefully according to the etiquette.

The big sedan chair is hugging the front and back, and it only stops at the post house on the road, not in the city. But there are still some officials... who don't follow the way of his administration at all, the guard of honor just passes through the jurisdiction, and the officials also come to sing praises and thank the queen for visiting the jurisdiction. Fu Shi didn't take it seriously, and sent eunuchs to reward them one by one.

On the way, a strange eunuch came to talk to Guo Shao. Guo Shao had never seen him before, and this guy didn't take the initiative to say who he was, but just smiled and talked nonsense, so he was wary and just answered him politely.

This eunuch was chubby, with a pale face and no color, which was quite different from some fat and fat civil servants. However, the eunuch spoke politely, and only asked: "The elixir Guo Du envoy sought in Huashan is so effective, he must have met an expert."

Guo Shao rode on the horse, clasped his fists and said, "Of course he is an expert, and the white-haired child looks like an ordinary person. Otherwise, how dare I ask for pills for the queen?"

The eunuch said: "You really don't know who he is?"

Guo Shaodao: "I've asked, but if he doesn't say anything, could he be Chen Tuan, the son of Fuyao? I don't know who has seen him."

"The official's health is not good. If Guo Dushi can invite that old fairy to the palace again, it will be another great achievement!" The eunuch couldn't help but said.

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "The official's health is not good? I don't know... the medicine is three-point poisonous. I think the official is in his prime, with the body of a dragon and a tiger. How dare he be abrupt. Why don't you ask the official? If you order, I will go to Huashan again. The place is hard to find, but you can still find it with a little effort."

The eunuch nodded and said no more.

At this time, Guo Shao was reminded that Chai Rong would die early. He couldn't remember exactly when he died, but he could clearly imagine: Chai Rong was a strong lord, if he hadn't died, where would the Chen Qiao Mutiny come from? No matter how powerful Zhao Kuangyin was, he didn't seem to dare to engage in mutiny in front of Chai Rong. From Guo Shao's point of view, if Zhao Kuangyin rebelled against Chai Rong, it's hard to say whether his soldiers would turn against the emperor with such a high prestige.

If Chai Rong died and Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, as the "Queen Dowager" of the previous dynasty (after Chai Rong died, she was the Queen Mother), what would he do with the very popular Queen Mother? Maybe Zhao Kuangyin is big enough, but no one can be sure what will happen.

And Guo Shao himself wants to change his master... No wonder most people in history are not very willing to be second ministers, unless they are the direct descendants of the new master, they usually don't feel safe if they change masters.

Guo Shao felt that he had to gradually start thinking about the long-term: should he seek refuge with Zhao Kuangyin as soon as possible, or make another plan? Choose one of the two, you must choose, otherwise the consequences will be even worse.

Of course, everyone wants to have the final say on their own. The problem is to raise their heads to punish the Nine Clans. First of all, they have to consider whether they have the strength and possibility. Anyway, for the time being, Guo Shao doesn't think he is stronger than Zhao Kuangyin.

At this moment, the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from a distance. Guo Shao was the military commander responsible for the safety of this trip, and hurriedly shouted: "The order is to stop the team first."

After a while, the fat eunuch came up again on horseback, and said sharply: "Your Majesty's order, let Guo Dushi take people to the front to see who is coming."

Guo Shaoxin said: I was ordered to be the chief general of the entire guard army. I am not escorting in the army. Why do I go to the front line to do scout work myself? Could it be that the queen knows nothing about military affairs and is a little too nervous... After all, in the Central Plains, it shouldn't be a big deal, just send a few scouts to take a look.

But since it was the Queen's decree, Guo Shao didn't say much, and said to Du Chenggui, a military general he once knew in the inner hall, who used to be the head of the capital and is now the Marquis of Du Yu, "You stay here and guard."

Du Chenggui's behavior was very decent, he looked like a young man with a family background, and immediately said seriously: "The end will be ordered."
