Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The ancients usually drank a cup of tea after eating and sat down for a while. The maids collected the dishes and set out fruit plates, snacks and tea, Guo Shao continued to accompany Fu Jinzhan, full of food and wine, he was not restrained anymore.

Fu Jinzhan waved away the irrelevant people, but still asked Cao Tai, Mu Shanggong and several others to stay; she also paid great attention to avoid people thinking that she was alone with Guo Shao.

"What do you think of Wang Pu?" Fu Jinzhan asked.

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, then said: "Wang Pu is just a minister, he is very useful and less threatening, especially with his personality of getting along with others, it is difficult for him to do anything big alone. But today, I find his remarks very interesting."

Fu Jinzhan nodded for him to continue.

Guo Shao said: "Wang Pu knows that the minister is the Empress Dowager's confidant, but he is not sure about the extent of his confidantship when it comes to the country and society. What he said seems to be blunt, but in fact there are at least several intentions.

One is to test the Queen Mother's trust in Wei Chen. The second is to show his loyalty. He is showing his loyalty to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he is also showing his loyalty to the Queen Mother. The queen mother is the queen mother of the Zhou Dynasty, and she will never punish him because of his loyalty to the court, and the fact is the same. But he didn't expect the queen mother to be so tough, he probably was shocked, and he will be more impressed by the queen mother in the future.

The third is to protect his own reputation. If there are any changes in the future, he can say that he is very upright, at least at the beginning, he was not afraid of the powerful and loyal to the Zhou Dynasty... After all, the late emperor was kind to him. "

"Hehe..." Fu Jinzhan immediately covered his mouth and bent over with a smile, "Human Dao Wang Pu is very perceptive, unexpectedly you saw through it all, and your thoughts are also very careful."

Guo Shao said calmly: "I am an archer, and an archer needs to shoot accurately. You can't achieve the ultimate height if you have strength and carelessness... Besides, the minister is careful. Hasn't the queen mother noticed it?"

Fu Jinzhan's face was blushing, but he suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "The last time I was ordered to enter the palace, I really feel that you have a very careful plan."

Guo Shao said, "It's not just that one time?"

"Don't mention it." Fu Jinzhan's eyes flickered, but he didn't dare to look at the attendants beside him, because although those attendants looked away, they were actually paying attention to her actions every moment.

She immediately changed the subject and said: "Li Jixun is going to raise an army. Since you are a general, do you have a way to calm down?"

"The Forbidden Army has not been reorganized and reorganized. It is not too safe to move the Forbidden Army to fight now." Guo Shaodao, "Li Jixun and Li Zhongjin must join hands to strengthen their strength and avoid being defeated and shake the army's morale. The Zhaoyi Army Jiedu Li Yun is the key."

Fu Jinzhan nodded and said: "You are quite right. The soldiers under Li Yun's command are also veterans of the battlefield. They have resisted the Northern Han Dynasty in Hedong for a long time, and they have soldiers worthy of battle. However, when the first emperor was in power, he told Li Yun that he wanted Li Yun's young daughter to marry Zong Xun in the future. In the future, her daughter will be the queen. Li Yun will not turn against him?"

Guo Shaodao: "Li Yun is a knowledgeable person, and he might not think that the young girl's marriage is secure..." He deliberately paused, hoping that the Queen Mother could guess what he meant from his tone. Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, how old is it really reliable to marry an emperor?

He continued: "Besides, Zhangde Army Wang Rao may also rebel. Wang Rao's third daughter has married Zhao Kuangyin, but because Zhao Kuangyin lost his father and kept his filial piety, he did not have time to marry Wang's; Wang Rao is also afraid of being implicated."

Fu Jinzhan was thoughtful.

Guo Shaodao: "I have an idea to speak up. The queen mother will come forward and let Li Yun's daughter marry the Fu family. Li Yun and King Wei's marriage must be at ease."

Fu Jinzhan immediately smiled and said, "That's a good idea. The Fu family is not only a member of the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also an in-law with General Guo; Li Yun's marriage to this daughter is too worthwhile, and she is stepping on two boats with one foot."

Guo Shao chuckled: "If Li Yun wants to rebel, then he is too ambitious, and he is a Huoturi. Wang Rao's third daughter will also remarry. It is best for the queen mother to come forward to be a matchmaker and order Wang Sanniang to marry... Chai Gui is also fine."

Fu Jinzhan smiled and said, "What's the point of marrying Chai Gui?"

Guo Shaodao: "Wang Rao is old, so it is impossible for him to have much ambition. He just wants to live in peace. Chai Gui is a general of the Imperial Zhou Army and a relative of the royal family. The Empress Dowager let Zhao Kuangyin's fiancée remarry Chai Gui, mainly to show her attitude. The matter between the Wang and Zhao families is over here, so I don't care about it anymore."

"Wonderful!" Fu Jinzhan praised, "General Guo really has some thoughts, not only as a general. As long as Li Yun and Wang Rao don't rebel, Li Jixun and Li Chongjin may hesitate to buy us time for internal rectification; and it will be easier to deal with them in the future."

"That's exactly how it is." Guo Shao said calmly, "War is the continuation of 'politics'. Although I am a general and know how to fight, I should also figure out why I fight. The weaker the enemy is, the better the chances of winning the war will be."

... After both of them drank a cup of tea, Guo Shao wanted to leave. Fu Jinzhan still looks a bit reluctant to leave, even if it's not about private matters, but about military affairs, she also feels very happy talking with Guo Shao.

Fu Jinzhan was attracted by Guo Shao's wisdom and voice, and always felt that he was really unique in the world, he was not born into a wealthy family, but his knowledge was much higher than those rich and rich.

But since he wanted to leave, Fu Jinzhan couldn't force him to stay, so he had to ask Cao Tai to send him away.

Then she also got up and left the Jinxiang Palace, and when she reached the harem, she remembered that it was the autumn festival and wanted to wander around. Unexpectedly, from time to time, he heard the palace's desolate cry, and couldn't help frowning.

Seeing this, Cao Tai said softly: "The late emperor passed away, and those concubines who had no children could only move to the cold palace. They were lonely and old, so they were sad... We can't do anything about it. They are all the late emperor's people. Letting them go would hurt the royal family's face. It's not bad if it's changed to not being able to live and being buried in the past."

Cao Tai asked softly again: "Beauty Qin..."

Fu Jinzhan's black eyebrows moved slightly. The woman used to make fun of herself on the late emperor's bed; when Fu Jinzhan sent someone to eavesdrop, she heard it. Later, I heard from Cao Tai that she would speak bad things behind her back.

Fu Jinzhan pondered for a moment, then said, "Forget it."

Cao Tai bent down to answer.

Fu Jinzhan pondered again, "Where is Du Meiren?" Cao Tai said: "It seems to be in some palace in the north, waiting to be moved to the cold palace. The slave family immediately sent someone to look for it."

"Tell her not to go to the Leng Palace, but to live in the Long Live Palace and stay with me. Tell her, I asked Zong Xun to recognize her as a foster mother."

Cao Tai hurriedly said, "Here."

Du Meiren is the elder sister of Du Chenggui, the commander of the Inner Palace. The father of the two siblings died while protecting Taizu. The first emperor treated them very kindly, accepted Du Meiren to the palace, and appointed Du Chenggui as the direct general of the inner palace to guard the palace.
