Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

"It shouldn't be like this..." Guo Shao let out a big breath, his expression a little embarrassed, "Is it time for a cup of tea?"

Fu Jinzhan blushed, gently pulled the open skirt together, pressed one hand on the skirt, and with the other hand took out a handkerchief from his bosom to gently wipe the sweat on his forehead, lowered her head and whispered: "That's enough." She quietly put the handkerchief into the robe, after a while, she took it out to see that the color had changed, and stuffed it into the sleeve.

Guo Shao said: "Let me take a breath, I can do it later."

Fu Jinzhan hurriedly said: "No more, my body is so hot that it hurts." She leaned softly against Guo Shao, and said, "I didn't think about it just now, what should I do if I am pregnant?"

"Isn't that better?" Guo Shao said without hesitation.

After hearing this, Fu Jinzhan remained silent. It took a long time before he said quietly: "I have raised it for almost twenty-seven years, and it disappeared overnight... How do you feel now? Do you feel proud that you have finally obtained what you looked up to before? It's as if you conquered a strong city..."

Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said, "No."

Fu Jinzhan said slowly: "Now I have nothing to give you... There are some things that cannot be said in the palace, and now I have a chance... When you are more full-fledged, will you become emperor?"

Guo Shao was stunned when he heard this, and didn't know what to say for a while. In this era, once a martial artist has enough prestige, meritorious service, and military power, according to the experience of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it is time to replace him. People all over the world are used to such things;

He thought for a while and said: "The position of the emperor, if Jinzhan wants to try the second empress in history, I can help you."

"Oh?" Fu Jinzhan looked at his face with great interest, then shook his head after a while and said, "It's boring, how much did Wu Zhou of the Tang Dynasty pay and how much trouble did he have to do? I don't want to be so worry-free. I don't want much, as long as I don't have to worry about it."

Her face was tired, but her eyes were still bright: "If one day you feel that the time is right, tell me in advance, and I will help you... That is the last thing I can give you; this is the best ending."

"Jinzhan, why are you..." Guo Shao felt that the situation was serious for a while.

Fu Jinzhan said quietly: "You don't have to ask me why, just believe what I say. I am not a fairy, but a woman. I can hold great power for a while, but because of my status... Rather than worrying about being taken away by others, I might as well leave it to you. I just need to retreat to the deep palace and live the rest of my life as a woman with peace of mind."

Guo Shao shook his head and said, "I'd rather see Jinzhan in glory, respected by others, arrogant and indulgent to do whatever he wants."

Fu Jinzhan pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "How to achieve it?"

Guo Shao stood up and walked back and forth for a long time. When he turned around, his eyes were shining brightly, and he said solemnly: "When I was still poor, my dream was nothing more than to win a house, a family, and live a prosperous life. Now that I have reached a high position, we should have even bigger dreams... It is not Jinzhan's temperament to be content with the status quo and to waste time in a rut."

Fu Jinzhan looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile, and she looked very interested, as if she was also a person who liked to fantasize about all kinds of good things.

The surroundings were quiet, only him and Fu Jinzhan were in the huge yard. Guo Shao became a little unscrupulous, and said boldly: "We should build a civilized, prosperous and powerful empire, light the beacon of civilization in the East, illuminate the world, and illuminate the entire history; just like a golden lamp illuminates my entire heart."

"How does one count as a 'rich and powerful empire'?" Fu Jinzhan asked with a smile.

Guo Shaodao: "The influence and prestige should at least surpass those of the Han and Tang Dynasties, huh...all the common people should be able to eat enough, and those with talents and ambitions can have avenues to rise and pursue their ambitions; to conquer far and near, the world worships the empire and admires the empress dowager's prestige..."

Fu Jinzhan chuckled and said, "That's a good thing. If we really want to do it, wouldn't that be the rule of the world? The sages and emperors are all eager to get it. If we realize it, won't we still be praised after a thousand years?"

"I'm not joking, you can try it." Guo Shao said excitedly.

Fu Jinzhan asked again: "Well, who will be the emperor?"

"This..." Guo Shaodao, "The queen mother can also be a regent. You are a regent and I am in charge of the army. The country should maintain its strength. If we want to guarantee the results in this world, we should have the strength to defend it."

However, Fu Jinzhan emphasized: "I will become the former empress dowager."

"Isn't the title granted by the emperor?" Guo Shao said, "You are the queen!"

Fu Jinzhan said softly, "Where is Second Sister?"

Guo Shaodao: "Anyway, they are all from your family, so I have to make a noble concubine."

Fu Jinzhan pondered and said: "I am the queen of the former emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, can I still be a queen? There is no precedent for such a thing." Guo Shao disagreed and said: "As long as you have made great achievements in the world, Jinzhan will be praised by the world, why not be named queen again?"

"I'll talk about these things later... But I'm glad you have this kind of heart. It seems that you really care about me." Fu Jinzhan said quietly, "I've seen it more than once in Hebei, Hezhong, and the palace. If the Patriarch falls in love with a woman, he will be obedient at first, but once he is satisfied with her, his attitude will change... Maybe he can't get anything from her, and thinks it's useless."

Guo Shao said softly and kindly: "I don't want to loot anything from Jinzhan, nor do I want to conquer you. I just want to see you noble, pampered, and happy."

"Hmm..." Fu Jinzhan bit her red lips lightly, "It's like a dream, even if it's a dream, it's still a sweet dream."

"It's not a dream, it can definitely come true." Guo Shao said solemnly, "In this world, ending the troubled times and reunification is the general trend of history; our first step should be to unify the world. This is not only conforming to the general trend, but also stabilizing our position in the victory and prestige of the reunification war."

"Which country to fight first?" Fu Jinzhan asked.

Guo Shaodao: "After the Tokyo Mutiny ended, I also thought about this question from time to time. I think it should be the Kingdom of Shu.

A while ago, all the officials in the imperial court were very concerned about the 1.2 million guan. In fact, the national strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very weak; if Wang Pu continued to "strike the north first when the internal strife in Liao Dynasty was in trouble" proposed by Wang Pu a few years ago, the national strength might not be able to sustain it. Moreover, the Liao Kingdom and even the Northern Han army are stronger than the southern countries, and we cannot afford a defeat; The safest way is to quickly capture the south and accumulate prestige and national strength; strive to improve the national strength by annexing other countries before the end of the Khitan civil strife.

After the loss of Huainan in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Shu was the richest among the southern states. Jiannan in the Tang Dynasty was the granary of the Tang Dynasty and was known as the Land of Abundance. After the monarchs and ministers of the Kingdom of Shu entered Shu from the north and ruled the area, there was no turmoil for decades, and the accumulation of wealth was very considerable. It is said that the lord of the Kingdom of Shu raised tens of thousands of beauties, and even the drowning utensils were made of gold and gemstones.

The monarchs and ministers of the Kingdom of Shu had no good generals and had not known soldiers for decades, so they were very weak. They were no longer the elite soldiers who entered Shu in the later Tang Dynasty. It is a pity that we have more than 100,000 elite soldiers in our hands. "

Fu Jinzhan nodded and said, "Shu's mountains are too thick, easy to defend but difficult to attack."

Guo Shaodao: "The Southern Tang Dynasty has the Yangtze River natural moat. As long as they defend it properly, it is also a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the Southern Tang Dynasty is captured, the Kingdom of Shu will still be surrounded by mountains; but if the Kingdom of Shu is captured first, they can go down the river from the upper reaches, which is of great benefit to attacking the Southern Tang Dynasty."

Fu Jinzhan said: "Then I will follow your idea. Fortunately, there are trustworthy people, otherwise, now that there are internal checks and balances, how can we dare to use troops abroad..."

Guo Shao said with a smile: "If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult to put down a rebellion. How can Jinzhan rest assured that the military power of the army will be handed over to others to put down the rebellion?"

"It doesn't matter if you use troops against Shu. Meng Chang has been disrespectful to the Zhou family for a long time, and I am also very angry." Fu Jinzhan said in a quiet voice, "Last time he wrote a letter calling himself the Emperor of Shu, as if we should call him a minister."

Guo Shaodao: "He may think that the Meng family proclaimed the emperor earlier, and the Central Plains changed dynasties too quickly. We are all grassroots... But the orthodoxy is not who proclaims the emperor early, the truth is only within the range of the cannon... within the attack range of the army. When I am ready, I will go and capture Meng Chang, let him confess his mistake in front of Jinzhan, and ask him why he made you angry."

"Pfft!" Fu Jinzhan couldn't help laughing out loud, "How could I be so self-willed, a word of anger would make others travel thousands of miles to Tokyo to admit their mistakes."

Guo Shao said with a smile: "Who told him to make you unhappy? If you are respectful, you will be fine."

The two chatted and laughed in this deserted courtyard, explaining the important affairs of the country with ease, and the scene was like a child's play. The expression on Fu Jinzhan's face was like a dream: "If you can really do what you said, what kind of life do you say that day will be, will you be very happy every day?"
