Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The funeral took place three days later. One person dies, and billions of living beings in the world disappear.

All singing and dancing, banquets, and weddings are prohibited for a period of one month; civil and military officials in Tokyo are in mourning for three days, and the harem is in mourning for one month. Although many edicts still do not conform to the etiquette system, this practice is a common rule of dynasties in the past dynasties. Reducing the time of national mourning is conducive to restoring the normal order of the dynasty.

In the three days after the death of the emperor, Fu Jinzhan did some subtle things. The troops of the Dianqian Division were re-deployed; the 20,000 soldiers from the left side of the Hujie Army had all been mobilized, and they withdrew from the imperial city and stationed in two battalions, east and west. Only two commanders controlled Xihua Gate and Donghua Gate respectively. Guo Shaojia also served as the "inside and outside inspection of the imperial city"; the Zhen'an Jiedu envoy who was still in Hedong was deployed to Xunjia and the front battalions of Hedong and Hebei.

Then the will was promulgated, and the four-year-old Chai Zongxun was immediately embraced to succeed him, amnesty for the world...

In front of the late emperor's coffin, the monk who brought the dead from the Daxiangguo Temple to save the deceased had stopped chanting, but the weeping and lamenting sounds of the empress and concubine were still echoing in the plain hall. Civil and military officials dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, all plain and white knelt down to His Highness.

A child was sitting on the dragon chair, staring innocently at the people below from a very high position. Seeing this, the nurse and eunuch next to him fled away from the side of the throne. How could they dare to be bowed down by so many strong men? Not even suspicion.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..." The shout shaking the vast palace was full of momentum, echoing between the vermilion pillars supporting the white cloth, the sound went straight into the sky.

This is a violent country, and every ceremony can show its strength.

But after a while, "Wow...", the crying of the child seemed to have stabbed a knife in the heart of a violent machine! It seemed that a dark cloud immediately enveloped the main hall, and soon the place became completely silent.

"Nurse, I want a nanny..." the child cried in front of at least a hundred civil servants and generals of the ruling class of the country. The baby's voice made this sad and solemn place very strange and absurd.

The Prime Minister Wang Pu who was lying in front straightened up, and said loudly: "The late emperor's edict is for the Empress Dowager to supervise the country and regent. Where is the Empress Dowager today?"

Eunuch Yang Shiliang said from the side: "The Empress Dowager is so sad that she has fainted several times and is resting at the back of the palace."

Wang Pu turned his head and shouted: "At the moment of the important matter, I will ask the Queen Mother to distinguish the seriousness, and hurry up to act as regent." All the ministers shouted together: "Please regent the Queen Mother!"

At this moment, a group of white-clothed women came out from the door behind the main hall and knelt at the door one after another. After a while, I saw a graceful woman walking out slowly, her face was covered with a layer of black veil. But many people have seen Fu Jinzhan before, and dimly recognized her.

"The queen mother...Please ask the queen mother to preside over the overall situation..." All the officials bowed down one after another.

Fu Jinzhan is noble, graceful and majestic, even if the whole body is plain, it has its own kind of bearing. She also saw the big scene, so she ignored all the ministers and let them just kneel like this. She walked up to the throne naturally, stretched out her hand and said, "Xun'er, the queen mother is here."

A large group of people listened with bated breath, as if devoutly watching a show of filial piety by mothers and children.

Chai Zongxun stopped crying immediately, and jumped off the dragon chair with open arms, "Queen, I'm afraid."

Fu Jinzhan hugged him, patted his head and said softly: "Don't be afraid. Although your father is dead, there are still many loyal ministers in the world, and loyal ministers are powerful. They will assist you to continue the country's destiny and let you firmly guard the country of the Great Zhou for the father. Those who are chaotic officials and thieves with ulterior motives have to ask themselves how much they are, and they dare not move easily."

Chai Zongxun couldn't understand her words at all, but he believed the people below could. It can be seen from the way they dare not show their atmosphere.

Prime Minister Wang Pu hurriedly said: "The late emperor passed away, and the queen mother was ordered to supervise the country. Now all the business is waiting to be promoted. The ministers and others have the courage to ask the queen mother to be regent to take charge of the overall situation. Don't delay the big event with sadness."

Fu Jinzhan supported Chai Zongxun to sit down on the dragon chair, and said in a quiet voice, "My son (Chai Zongxun) is young, please ask me to take over the government temporarily, if you can listen to me, otherwise I am a woman and it will be difficult to coordinate with the ministers."

Wang Pudao: "I am the only one who obeys the queen mother. Whoever resists the queen mother's edict and who is disloyal to the queen mother is disobedient and disloyal to the new emperor! Everyone, whoever refuses to obey the empress dowager's edict, now stand up and say what is right and wrong!"

Everyone shouted: "The queen mother is in charge, the world dare not refuse to accept it."

After hearing this, Fu Jinzhan looked down at His Highness's officials kneeling at his feet, his eyes became brighter. A few days ago, I was still a prisoner, and the poison in the hollow hairpin was still too late to be thrown away, so I was helplessly waiting to die in despair! But now, the most powerful people who rule this country are kneeling at her feet, trembling because of her words!

She looked at them one by one, her gaze was piercing through a layer of black veil, and the body of the person being looked at was lowered down... It seemed that the Empress Dowager could see through their hearts whether they were loyal or traitorous.

But Fu Jinzhan's brows gradually frowned, and he observed again, but he did not see Guo Shao. On such an occasion, why is he not there?

Fu Jinzhan had just risen to a high level of emotion, as if he had fallen to the bottom all of a sudden. A wave of panic gradually came to my heart, without Guo Shao! There are so many people who support her in power, but Guo Shao is not there!

She turned her head and glanced at the eunuch Cao Tai. Cao Tai's attention was always on the Empress Dowager who had reached the peak of power, and a slight movement made him bend over and walk forward immediately. His waist was bent very low, and his posture was extremely respectful. After all, even Cao Tai was a little apprehensive in front of so many ministers.

He came over with his ear, Fu Jinzhan whispered to no one, "Where's Guo Shao?"

Cao Tai whispered in Fu Jinzhan's ear, "I left the imperial city early in the morning, and Yizhi asked him to withdraw the main force of the left wing of the Hu Jie army from the imperial city to ease the situation."

Fu Jinzhan said in his heart: I told him to withdraw the army, I didn't tell him not to come to the court meeting. She was suddenly very lost.

Don't look at the trembling of these strong men under their feet, but no one can guarantee what they have in their stomachs, or what they will have when they have a chance. In this world where warriors are in power, strong men inside and outside look around, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a situation of internal troubles and external difficulties; Fu Jinzhan doesn't think that a woman by herself can use any means to completely check and balance, no matter how clever the means are, when warriors pick up knives and guns under certain opportunities (such as foreign enemy invasion), all the principles and rules will be paperless!

Fu Jinzhan is not foolish enough to think that relying on his own authority and wisdom alone can make the world lay down its arms.

There is only one person, and he will never hurt her. That is Brother Shao.

Fu Jinzhan's mood was suddenly depressed, that person was not around, she had no sense of security at all, and her heart was completely empty... In the past many years without Brother Shao, she still came here, but she did not know when, she became dependent. He doesn't need to do anything, as long as he can see it, he can feel at ease, which is a strange way of thinking.

The ministers were still kneeling down to listen to the answer, so Fu Jinzhan had no choice but to say softly: "Since everyone is asking, Ai Jia will reluctantly handle the government affairs on behalf of my son temporarily. I hope that the ministers will help my son wholeheartedly. During the national funeral, each government office still has to perform its duties..." Her demeanor and domineering tone suddenly faded, and these words were powerless.

She said a few more grandiose words, and quickly got up and left the hall in a hurry.

When it came to the apse, Cao Tai stepped forward to persuade: "The queen mother should listen to the advice of the ministers, don't be too sad, and take care of your body, the emperor (Zong Xun) can't do anything without the queen mother..."

Fu Jinzhan was a little flustered, and immediately issued an order: "Go and change all the eunuchs in the imperial city... The Ai family named you the chief inspector of the Great Inner Army. Let Wang Zhong be released, but that Wang Jien, do you know what to do?"

Cao Tai hurriedly said: "Your servant understands, thank the Queen Mother for granting the title."

What she is doing now is completely improvised. Before, she was confident that it was unnecessary. Fu Jinzhan gradually became a little angry again: "Go, ask Guo Shao why all the ministers worship and support me, but he doesn't come alone?"

...It was not until noon that Cao Tai returned to Jinxiang Hall to see Fu Jinzhan. After he entered the house, Mu Shanggong and other women stood far away at the door. Cao Tai bowed and said, "I see General Guo."

Fu Jinzhan looked sideways and asked, "What did he say?"

Cao Taidao: "General Guo said that the queen mother's actions these days are very clever. He praised the queen mother for considering Xiangxun's deployment of the front battalions in Hedong and Hebei. It not only paves the way for gathering the unstable military power in the outer towns, but also does not easily move Li Chongjin and Han Lingkun. The fire is just right. General Guo said that in terms of administrative layout, he is not as far behind as the queen mother, and he dare not dictate the administration. In addition to the country's instability, he has to avoid suspicion and dare not enter and leave the palace at will.

"That's it?" Fu Jinzhan frowned.

Cao Tai said again: "Also, General Guo said that he is only a military commander, and the most important thing is to do his duty and help the Queen Mother in the army. Tokyo is considered to be stable for the time being, but there are still hidden dangers in the Forbidden Army. It is necessary to completely remove Zhao Kuangyin's influence from the Forbidden Army. He is now trying to find a way to do this."

Fu Jinzhan asked impatiently: "I told you to ask him why he didn't come to the audience today? Didn't you ask?"

Cao Tai's waist was bent even lower, and the Queen Mother was in a better mood today, so he hurriedly said: "I asked, General Guo thinks it's logical for such an occasion, and the Queen Mother doesn't need him."

"That's it?" Fu Jinzhan looked worried.

Cao Tai whispered: "My family thought that the Empress Dowager needn't worry about General Guo's loyalty. He didn't come because he didn't support you."

What nonsense! Fu Jinzhan really couldn't think that Brother Shao, who had always been her confidant, would not support him. Being in power by himself would only benefit him and not harm him at all. What she was not happy about was that Brother Shao seemed indifferent after the big event.

Fu Jinzhan's heart is sometimes wider than that of ordinary women, but her mind is still small and her thoughts are delicate, and she can feel a little bit of strangeness. She just felt that Guo Shao's attitude had changed, and there was no need for any high-sounding reasons, a change was a change.

Thinking about those few days ago, the army had just entered the imperial city, everything had just begun, everything was still urgent, and he was still willing to spend time talking so many irrelevant things to her. In the palace room behind the Jinxiang Hall, the two of them made a secret discussion, pouring out their mutual trust and longing... The fiery eyes said, "In this world, your place in my heart is more important than anything else, including my parents"...

But now that the major event is settled, he quietly stays away. r1058
