Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

In the Imperial Palace of the Zhou Dynasty in Tokyo, the festive atmosphere was relatively weak. Because a large number of soldiers were still fighting outside the gate, the palace did not celebrate the festive season with great fanfare. , but it is Chinese New Year after all, and some red lanterns are added around. The snow here is heavier, and snow can be seen everywhere on the roof, treetops, and ground; the Tokyo Imperial Palace has relatively few flowers, plants and trees, and they are all withered now. The red lights hanging under the eaves and on the treetops are decorated with bright colors.

In the Long Live Hall, Fu Jinzhan just received a letter from Guo Shao. A while ago, she had learned about the assassins sent by the Southern Tang Dynasty, and she was still angry, but she had endured the matter and did not show it.

Looking at the handwriting on the letter, it is Guo Shao's own handwriting, a serious lower case. Fu Jinzhan read it in detail, and found that they were all military and political reports, without a single word. She turned her head to look at the envelope on the side again, and it was written that it was for Second Sister Fu. Fu Jinzhan picked it up, glanced at it, and put it down again.

The Zhou army in the south of the Yangtze River progressed very smoothly, and there were several unexpected victories during the period, so that the chaotic battle situation became clear earlier, and the attack on the Southern Tang Dynasty was a foregone conclusion. Guo Shao estimated in the letter that the war in the south of the Yangtze River may be completely ended next spring.

After reading the letter, she was a little distracted, still thinking about it. At this time, Fu Jinzhan had already smelled the good news from Jiangnan. Guo Shao has the elite Imperial Army in his hands, the bodyguard division belongs to two naval divisions and the Jiannan Army, and the total strength of the town soldiers mobilized from various places may reach 200,000, and even the Imperial Army stationed in Tokyo is in the hands of his brother Yang Biao... Fu Jinzhan guessed that after Guo Shao's victory, the army was still under his command when he returned to the court. At that time, it should be a good opportunity for Guo Shao.

After a while, she reached out and took off the ermine shawl on her body. It was warmer in the palace than outside, and she was already wearing thick clothes. The mink fur collar was fluffy, after taking it off, Fu Jinzhan only had a satin jacket and skirt, which looked more elegant than wearing mink fur.

At this moment, a voice said: "Report to the queen mother, the emperor has come to greet the queen mother."

The eunuch Cao Tai who was standing on the side first glanced at the person speaking at the gate of the palace, and then turned his head to pay attention to Fu Jinzhan. Fu Jinzhan raised his head and nodded slightly. Cao Tai said: "The Queen Mother invites Your Majesty to come in."

Not long after, a group of people walked into the palace, a child was pulled by a woman, the child was the little emperor Chai Zongxun, the person pulling him was his nanny, and the one next to him was Concubine Du... Fu Jinzhan let the little emperor recognize his adoptive mother. There are also some court ladies and eunuchs.

Cao Tai stepped down from the throne and knelt on the ground to welcome the little emperor. Fu Jinzhan sat still.

Chai Zongxun knelt down in the hall and saluted in a dignified way: "I wish my mother well." He was taught good etiquette, but he was still breastfeeding at the age of five... It was because Fu Jinzhan didn't pay much attention to it. The rest of the palace pampered the emperor, and no one specifically weaned him.

Fu Jinzhan smiled and said, "Xun'er, get up quickly."

"Mother, mother..." Chai Zongxun got up and ran over happily. The woman behind hurriedly got up and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, you have to slow down."

He walked up to Fu Jinzhan and said, "There is someone building a snowman in the back, and I want to play with it too, but the nanny won't let me go."

"It's too cold, the nanny is doing it for your own good." Fu Jinzhan said casually.

Chai Zongxun said in a childish voice: "I will obey my mother."

After hearing this, Fu Jinzhan had a smile on his face. She doesn't like to talk to children, and she doesn't like to tease him, and she always finds it boring; but she is still very happy to hear what Chai Zongxun said. I looked at the child again, and found that he actually looked good. He was wearing a small yellow brocade robe, the style that adults would wear, but it looked naughty and cute on him.

However, this child will still be willing to listen to himself when he grows up? Of course, if the little emperor can really grow up in the palace, it will not be easy to regain the imperial power, and it may be even more difficult to stabilize the country... In this world, it is almost impossible, and the situation will not give him such a long time.

Fu Jinzhan reached out and pinched Chai Zongxun's face in a rare way, feeling a little sympathetic, and thought: I don't know if it was your luck that you were born into this royal family that is well-clothed and well-fed;

In any case, this child is no wonder to Fu Jinzhan and the others. Because even if there is no Guo Shao, there will be others, who will go the same way in that position, and a five-year-old child has no chance to defend the country.

After talking with Chai Zongxun for a while, Fu Jinzhan signaled Concubine Du and the nanny to take him away.

She took another look at the unopened letter next to her, picked it up, got up and went back to the bedroom to see Second Sister Fu.

Fu Ermei's stomach is already obvious now. When she saw Jinzhan brought Guo Shao's letter, she was surprised and opened it to look.

Jinzhan glanced at his younger sister's puffed-out belly, "It would be a good thing if the second younger sister could give birth to a son."

Second Sister Fu put down the letter and said with a smile: "I remember Eldest Sister said she doesn't like children, how can I say it's good now?"

Jinzhan was noncommittal, and said: "Second sister likes children?"

Second Sister Fu rolled her eyes as if thinking, and replied: "I like my own, not so much other people's children. I can feel him kicking me in the stomach...and tormenting me. I can't bend down now. If I drop something on the ground and there is no one around, it will be very troublesome. I will still feel sick and want to vomit. It's very cold, and I often wake up at night, which is very troublesome..."

"You're still happy after working so hard?" Jinzhan looked at her puzzled.

Second Sister Fu said: "In the past few months, the more difficult it has been, the more important it is... Sigh, I can't tell. If the eldest sister is pregnant by herself, she will know what's going on."

Jinzhan glanced at the maid standing there from the corner of the eye, and smiled nonchalantly, "I've already called myself Aijia, so how can I be pregnant? How can Second Sister talk nonsense?"

Second Sister Fu is not too thoughtless, so she changed her tune immediately after hearing this, "I was wrong."

The two of them discussed it well, and suddenly they were speechless for a while. Fu Jinzhan thinks that although the second sister is generous, she must also care about that matter, but because of the years of sisterhood, there is nothing she can do... Jinzhan thinks that this is also her own fault. In order to promote Guo Shao as soon as possible and establish a stable marriage relationship, she promised the second sister Fu to him; To this day, things have been inextricably messed up.

However, as long as Fu Ermei gave birth to a son, he would be the eldest son. Jinzhan feels that this matter is very important to everyone in the Fu family... The two sisters should trust and rely on each other intellectually, regardless of their affection.
