Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The palace door of the apse is open, and the maids in buns are briskly passing by in groups with their things. They all look capable and agile, and they are preparing for the banquet; the moon white dresses worn by the maids look elegant and graceful, making their bodies slender.

There was laughter in the palace, and the popularity was extremely high. Fu Jinzhan was in a very happy mood, a very natural smile appeared in his crooked eyes, between his vermilion lips, and on his jade-white cheeks, as if the smile was filled from the bottom of his heart, and suddenly this gorgeous palace was as pleasant as the bright spring. The expression on Guo Shao's face was stunned for a moment, but his eyes immediately looked elsewhere.

The second sister seemed to have noticed something, and looked back at Fu Jinzhan. Jinzhan stopped smiling, and sat there calmly, without any strangeness. But she panicked a little in her heart, and she stretched out her hand to brush gently between her ears and temples, making a trivial movement.

Fu Jinzhan spoke at this time, with clear articulate, rhythmic tone, and pleasant voice, "Above the court, what an eunuch said is the most interesting. The treasury is full, and I will be in charge of the house better. You are thanking you in the hall, but I want to say thank you more."

With a dignified and dignified tone, Fu Jinzhan seems to be very good at conveying emotions through voice changes in serious words. Guo Shao was also very cooperative: "The country is the home. The Queen Mother cultivates benevolent government internally, just like the clever women in that country. As the saying goes, 'A clever woman can't cook without rice'. Naturally, we warriors have to find ways to find rice back. This is our duty."

Fu Ermei said softly: "My husband talks about benevolent government, but he talks about clever women. It sounds so strange."

Guo Shao calmly said: "Eldest sister is the queen mother in the imperial court, aren't we a family here?"

Fu Jinzhan raised a hand that was warmer and whiter than jade and gently covered his mouth, smiled for a while, and said, "General Guo's analogy is quite interesting. But Meng Chang might be very upset when he sees you moving his things?"

Guo Shao nodded and said: "The country is ruined and the family is ruined. How can you be happy when you are kicked out of the throne? I have seen him several times, and he should be very dissatisfied with his words... But I have a word, Meng Chang does not seem to be a big deal, no matter whether he is obedient or not, there is no threat. Don't worry about it, you can tolerate him. This can better show the empress dowager's tolerance and benevolence."

"The capital of the country is destroyed, how dare you refuse to accept it?" Fu Jinzhan said in a casual tone, and in a blink of an eye she was full of calm and majestic again, "I summon him tomorrow, and you come to the court to see if he accepts it."

Guo Shao was thoughtful.

Fu Jinzhan looked at his face, and said with a smile: "General Guo has ways to fight, but how to deal with these people, the means are a little too few...By the way, how is Mrs. Huarui's beauty?"

Second Sister Fu had discussed Mrs. Huarui with her elder sister before, and at this time she was already showing vigilance.

Guo Shao came back to his senses, turned his hands behind his back, and lightly groped and grabbed the hand of Second Sister Fu who was standing beside him, and said, "There are tens of thousands of people in Meng Chang's harem, and Mrs. Huarui is beautiful, otherwise she wouldn't be able to stand out from the crowd. However, I think my family has enough wives and concubines."

Fu Jinzhan whispered: "Haven't you ever thought about trying it?"

Guo Shao glanced at her, and felt that Fu Jinzhan could see through his heart and had no place to hide even a little lie, so he said calmly, "I thought about it...but it doesn't make much sense to think about it. There are many good things in the world. If you don't like what you want, you can get what you want. So bear with it.

Meng Chang didn't have the ability to do great things, but he didn't look like a bad guy. It is said that he likes Mrs. Huarui, and specially built a crystal palace for her to be pampered in every way, so it is better to fulfill them. Please ask the queen mother to confer a title on Meng Chang so that the couple can live well. "

With a half-smile expression, Fu Jinzhan said casually: "What you see is just the appearance, including his disrespectful behavior."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and waved to Cao Tai at the door. Cao Tai kept his eyes fixed, Jinzhan only made a movement, but he immediately reacted, stepped forward and bowed his head. Fu Jinzhan whispered a few words in his ear.

Cao Tai didn't have any extra words, he immediately responded and walked out backwards.

Guo Shao couldn't help but look back at Cao Tai.

...

Meng Chang and his wife lived in the Zhou Dynasty Imperial Palace, and many foreign envoys lived in this building complex. Cao Tai led a few people out from the side door of Xuandemen, and went straight into the ceremony hall. Most of the people in the imperial city knew Cao Tai, especially the officials who had been to the court. They often saw him coming and going in and out of the Queen Mother, and no one would care about them, let alone stop them.

"Shu Lord Meng Chang?" Cao Tai stood at the door with his hands behind his back.

An eunuch hurried inside, and after a short while Meng Chang came out in a hurry, frowning and said, "What is your father-in-law looking for?"

Cao Tai walked in without saying a word, with his head held high. The little eunuch behind him immediately took out a plate from the cloth-covered basket, and put it on a round table in the hall with both hands. On the plate were a thin-necked porcelain vase and a cup.

When Meng Chang saw it, his face changed drastically, he took a few steps back, and suddenly staggered, and the eunuch beside him hurriedly supported him. Meng Chang asked in surprise, "What... what does this mean?"

"The Empress Dowager said that the Lord of Shu made several petitions before, but Ai's family didn't reply. I'm a little short on etiquette, but now the Lord of Shu has come to Tokyo in person, so let's give you something." Cao Tai said coldly.

Meng Chang could understand that before he called himself the Emperor of Shu, he thought that the mountains were high and the road was far away, and the Central Plains could not do anything to him. When he wrote to the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, his words were not very respectful... He was suddenly angry and anxious, and he was about to make a gesture when he walked to the table.

"Fall!" Cao Tai said angrily, "If you have the guts, throw it off, and the queen mother will give you a toast, won't you eat it?"

Cao Tai stretched out his finger and pointed at Meng Chang: "The miscellaneous family is waiting outside, the Lord of Shu is ready to throw!"

Immediately, several eunuchs and maids of Shu Kingdom in the room fell to their knees on the ground and burst into tears. After a while, Mrs. Huarui also came out of the bedroom. She first glanced at the kneeling attendants and Meng Chang, who was in a daze, and finally found the flagon on the table, her face also changed.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." The attendant wept on the ground very sadly, "When I was in Chengdu, my servant advised Your Majesty not to come, not to come..."

Meng Chang walked to the table blankly, looked at it for a while, then reached out to pour out a glass of wine, only to see that the wine was purple and red, his throat squirmed for a while, and his hands gradually trembled.

"Fu Rong, come and drink with me." Meng Chang put down his wine glass, turned around and said in a trembling voice.

Mrs. Huarui also turned pale, and took a few steps back.

Seeing this, Meng Chang thumped his chest and cried, "I don't treat you well, why do you all treat me like this! More than a hundred thousand imperial guards don't guard the capital for me, and even my favorite imperial concubine is so heartless and ungrateful."

Mrs. Huarui shook her head desperately in horror.

"Hahaha..." Meng Chang raised his head and laughed. He suddenly stopped his smile, picked up the wine glass again, and said coldly, "Everything is for nothing, I won't force you. Let's take a step first. With this glass of wine, I finally see what the world is like!"

After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all.

Mrs. Huarui rushed forward to stop her, but Meng Chang had already drank it, and she just sat by the table without saying a word. Her tears flowed down, "Forget it, I really have nothing to repay the debt..." Then she also poured a glass of wine and drank it without hesitation.

The eunuch Wei Zhong almost jumped up from the ground, stared at Mrs. Huarui, his body softened, and fell to the ground again, with a dazed expression on his face.

The room was deathly silent, and even the dropping of a needle could be heard. For a long time, Meng Chang and Mrs. Huarui looked at each other in blank dismay.

At this moment, Cao Tai and others walked in. "Drink the rewarded wine?" Cao Tai stepped forward to take a look at the wine cup, then waved his hand to ask someone to collect the things, and said, "The Lord of Shu is still grateful, remember the Queen Mother's kindness. There will be a reward from Long En tomorrow."

Meng Chang looked puzzled, stood up and took two steps, touched his throat and said, "No poison?"

Eunuch Wei Zhong burst into laughter immediately: "The Queen Mother of the Zhou Dynasty made a joke..."

Meng Chang immediately let out a long sigh, his body softened, and he sat down on the ground directly. Several people hurriedly helped him up, and then sat down on the stool, groping him around.

Meng Chang was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and turned to look at Mrs. Huarui: "My concubine, I saw the right person, only you know how to repay her kindness."

"I'm not a walking dead, of course I can distinguish between grudges and grudges." Mrs. Huarui's face turned cold, and after a while, a very charming and wicked smile suddenly appeared on her face, "It's also lucky that I drank this glass of wine."

Meng Chang frowned and said, "What do you mean by Aifei?"

Mrs. Huarui's expression gradually became normal, and she said: "It means that I understand that the king has never treated me badly, so I will not have any ill intentions towards the king...Does the king know what the meaning of the pot of wine just now is?"

Meng Chang said: "The Queen Mother of the Zhou Dynasty sent people to frighten me?"

Mrs. Huarui nodded: "The eunuch said something, and there will be a reward tomorrow. The queen mother should receive the king, you listen to me right, you must let go of those useless thoughts and be respectful to the queen mother; the court has decided to give the king a way out, otherwise there will be no need to do this useless thing."

Meng Chang took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and nodded, "What my concubine said is very true, I just woke up today, what you said is very reasonable..."

Mrs. Huarui held her hands in front of her belly, pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty, thank Marshal Guo and Jing Niang. On the river that day, they kindly invited us to dinner, which is a sign of goodwill. Although the Kingdom of Shu was destroyed by Marshal Guo, it was not a personal grievance. Today's matter must be a compromise made by the Fu family in the face of Marshal Guo, because the way they did it seems very deliberate."

Meng Chang didn't say anything.

Mrs. Huarui whispered again: "All the elite soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty dared to hand over to Guo Shao for the expedition. Besides, he is the brother-in-law of the empress dowager. If I guessed correctly, the Guo and Fu families formed an alliance with each other and shared the power equally. Even Guo Shao is the actual ruler of the Zhou Dynasty... Your Majesty must know."
