Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The big scene that used to be all-powerful has gone, and thousands of troops and horses are no longer in sight. In the last time, there was only one woman in front of the emperor.

Fu Jinzhan's face flushed suddenly, he lowered his head in shame, and stopped explaining the reason for fabricating the "stable man". After a moment of silence, she sighed: "Whether the official is a hero or a wise gentleman, I admired you at first, but how did I get here all these years, and how much do you have to do with me?"

Resentment surfaced on her beautiful face again, and she said coldly: "If the officials didn't treat me like that, why would I be here now?"

At this moment, she suddenly heard "cough cough", and when she hurriedly looked up, she saw Chai Rong spit out a mouthful of blood, and her outstretched hand dropped down. Fu Jinzhan hurriedly stepped forward to check, only to see that he was breathing very little, and his eyes were closed.

"Come here!" Fu Jinzhan called out hastily.

First, the eunuch Cao Tai came in with some women, and Fu Jinzhan called the imperial doctor to come and see.

The imperial doctor was busy for a while, and one of the old men knelt down on the ground: "This humble minister dares to speak out, it's time for the government to make a will!"

Fu Jinzhan's face changed slightly and said: "The official was talking to me just now! It looks much better."

The imperial doctor said: "Don't the empress hear about 'Back to the Light'? A person who has been ill for a long time and suddenly wakes up without medicine is a sign of dying!"

Fu Jinzhan said: "Except for officials, I have never served seriously ill people."

...

Outside the Jinxiang Hall, Guo Shao was chewing a piece of dry biscuit in a barracks temporarily stationed by the Hu Jie army inside the city gate.

At this time, a personal soldier came in, and whispered next to him: "I just learned from the Privy Council that Zhang Yongde was ordered to come to the Privy Council alone in front of the palace."

Guo Shao heaved a long sigh of relief after hearing the news. He turned his head to look outside, and it was another sunny day. It has been raining for a while, and the sky is clear and refreshing.

Most things are going well now. With the support of Zhang Yongde, the inspector in front of the palace, the Privy Council can calmly adjust the defense and divide and interpolate the cavalry army. Next, from the center to the generals of the imperial army, who will oppose the queen's ruling? Some people may be dissatisfied, but they are just some small characters with no strength and cannot afford to be a prodigal son.

Guo Shao felt that he could finally relax. Although it is a bit unpleasant to be concerned about the empress...but considering the long-term structure of the Zhou Dynasty in the future, the empress will play a central role, Guo Shao immediately put aside some personal unhappiness.

There are more people relying on him to live safely. He has a responsibility and cannot completely care about his personal emotions.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Cao Tai hurriedly entered the barracks, looking at the soldiers in the room. The soldiers clasped their fists knowingly and said: "Resign from the humble position."

Cao Tai came forward and whispered, "The official's family is critically ill. The queen called the miscellaneous family to inform General Guo."

Isn't the emperor always dying? Seeing Cao Tai's appearance, Guo Shao asked, "How far is it?"

Cao Taidao: "The imperial doctor said that it is time to return to the light...but the queen dare not let the officials see the ministers easily, what if something goes wrong?"

Guo Shao suddenly became nervous, and paced back and forth in the room: "The ministers have to delay the summons, and I can't go in, so I have to avoid suspicion..." He asked again, "What is the last wish of the official family after seeing the queen? Is there a will?"

Cao Tai whispered: "Now the officials don't trust the queen at all, so what kind of edict can they issue in front of the queen... But before coming here, the Zajia heard from the queen that the officials want to see the fourth prince (Chai Zongxun)."

Guo Shao said casually: "The empress should let the officials meet, a child doesn't understand big things."

Cao Taidao: "The grievances between the officials and the empress are deep, and General Guo probably doesn't know about it. Before yesterday, the empress was still in danger, and now she is still angry."

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of someone, and said: "Eunuch Cao went to Kaifeng Mansion and called Huang Binglian, the official from the left hall of Kaifeng Mansion, to the palace."

Who is Huang Binglian, the official who investigated the case when Guo Shao was assassinated by Zhao Sanmou, and it was Wang Pu who was looking for him at that time. In that incident, Guo Shao felt that this person was very professional in judging the case and autopsy, and he was not an official inside the imperial city. Calling him to participate in it would only be beneficial and not harmful... because the emperor died of illness in the first place.

Cao Tai asked, "The left hall of the Kaifeng Mansion? In this limelight, what name did the Zajia pass on him, and the Zajia hasn't asked the queen yet."

Guo Shaodao: "I made a decree in the name of the queen, and reported it to the queen afterwards, saying it was my idea."

... Outside the emperor's bedroom, Fu Jinzhan was waiting for Chai Rong to die before rushing to summon the minister to "Miansheng". She touched the bruise on her wrist, really worried, as long as the official is still alive, who knows what will happen to him? Maybe he was pretending, and wanted to try to turn the tables?

The officials in the South and North Wars are very powerful, and there are almost no opponents in the world. But with all the scheming and conspiracy in the court, he doesn't seem to be Fu Jinzhan's opponent yet. Anyway, now Fu Jinzhan doesn't even have any trust in him, and he won't give him any chance.

Fu Jinzhan sat silently for a long time, and suddenly she had a very strange epiphany, she felt that she had been with the official couple for so many years, and in the end she was like a stranger!

In the past, she was under cold violence for a long time, and she was afraid, worried, and resentful; but now, when she saw Chai Rong's final situation of despair, powerlessness, and regret, she suddenly didn't bother to care about the grievances she suffered. Fu Jinzhan realized that her hatred for Chai Rong was not that deep. As long as he died, she could let him go... After all, it is not easy to hate a dead person.

But indifference, maybe more sad than hate?

Seeing Chai Rong's appearance today and being told that he is really going to die, her mood gradually began to change throughout the morning.

Wei Wei lets go of her resentment and revisits the past. At that time, Taizu was willing to accept her as a righteous daughter and advocated a marriage. Maybe he really appreciated her fearlessness in the face of danger; but the official family married her for the purpose of marriage... At that time, Taizu had just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. As the adopted son of Taizu, the official family married Fu Yanqing's daughter and Li Shouzhen's daughter-in-law. For officials, they still obey the filial piety of their adoptive father.

In Fu Jinzhan's view, her remarriage allowed the Fu family to transition from the (later) Han Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty in a peaceful manner; at the same time, individuals could also get rid of the fate of being forced to commit suicide and become a monk.

It was a political relationship of mutual need, mutual compromise, and mutual exploitation. No wonder Fu Jinzhan suddenly felt that he didn't hate him anymore, he didn't have much real feelings at all, and some were just considering the pros and cons, so how could he really hate him? Resentment can only make her alienated, disappointed and helpless.

After thinking about it for a long time, Fu Jinzhan felt that she should avoid being indebted to others and feeling a little guilty in the future... This is her nature, she is more willing to let go and relax, and does not want to have any burden in her heart; she can often do this, even if it is a big thing, she can always convince herself. Always been this way.

What Chai Rong did a few days ago was to put her to death; then Guo Shao's mutiny to support her was a necessary thing to do, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with such a thing.

...Fu Jinzhan turned his head and saw that Mu Shanggong was standing silently, and said: "Hurry up and bring the fourth prince here."

After figuring it out, Fu Jinzhan waited for Chai Zongxun to come over, and asked Mu Shanggong to carry him all the way to the emperor's bedroom. The child seemed to like Fu Jinzhan very much, and when he saw it, he said, "Hold by the queen mother."

Fu Jinzhan said kindly: "My mother didn't sleep well and she doesn't have enough strength, let Mu Shang Palace hold you, and we will take you to see your father."

She really doesn't like children, she finds them annoying, and she doesn't like holding children, not because of any prejudice against Chai Zongxun.

The three of them entered the bedroom, and Fu Jinzhan asked a woman, "What happened to the official family?"

The man replied: "It's not a big deal for now."

Fu Jinzhan stepped forward and called out, "Officials, Zong Xun is here."

The official immediately opened his eyes and looked at his son. But the child was very frightened when he saw his appearance, so he turned his head and put his arms around the Mushang Palace to hide... The official family fought all the year round, not only did not care much about the harem, even their own son rarely accompanied them. Zong Xun was not very close to him, nor was he sensible.

But at this time, the emperor looked at the child in a very different way, as if he saw the continuation of his life.

Fu Jinzhan said indifferently: "The officials want to see the ministers, for the sake of safety, the concubines are not allowed to obey; but if you want to see the prince, the concubines must not be mean. It's not because I forgive you, but because I let go."

Chai Rong said with difficulty: "Let him... Zong Xun succeed to the throne!"

Fu Jinzhan said: "The courtiers and concubines will follow the official's will."

Chai Rong nodded and closed his eyes slightly.

Seeing this, Fu Jinzhan said, "Mushang Palace, take Zun Xun and stay here with the official's family for a while longer." After saying that, he turned and left the dark palace.

Walking out, the sun was shining brightly, and the expression on Fu Jinzhan's face gradually calmed down. No matter how bumpy the road has been, the result now is relatively satisfactory.

She wasn't sad, and she didn't feel guilty. There is no cure for the official's serious illness, and he didn't stop the imperial doctor from taking medicine for him, and he didn't treat him badly, everything was fate. He did everything he could, and brought Zongxun to him, and he did not regret what he could do.

Fu Jinzhan suddenly looked up at the sky and let out a soft breath. When you let go of others, you also let go of yourself; if you forgive others, you also forgive yourself.

...

At noon, the Privy Council, the Political Affairs Hall and the general Guo Shao received Yi's decree, telling them to enter the palace immediately to face the saint.

Guo Shao waited for a while in the barracks inside the palace gate, and saw Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Wang Pu, Li Gu, Fan Zhi and other people coming, followed by Wang Pu and Huang Binglian, the official from the left hall of Kaifeng Mansion, Guo Shao then entered with them through the corridor of Jinxiang Hall.

Eunuch Yang Shiliang led all the people straight into the bedroom, and saw the queen kneeling in front of the couch with Chai Zongxun, and the imperial doctors and maids inside and outside also kneeling on the ground.

Cao Tai said on the ground: "The government issued a will this morning, decree to pass on the throne to the fourth prince. The empress hurriedly sent someone to summon the ministers, but it was too late."

Suddenly, everyone in the room burst into tears. r1058
