Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter five hundred and twelve: Duanci

On the 15th day of April during the Great Dynasty, Li Chuyun, the chief inspector in front of the palace, took the lead in writing a memorial, praising the late emperor and later Fu's family for caring for the generals, loving the common people, and being dignified, worthy of the honorary title "Empress Duanci". ○Ministers wrote letters one after another, wanting to honor Queen Fu.

Guo Shao had mentioned this matter to his important ministers long ago, and the courtiers may have heard the news; besides, Fu Jinzhan had indeed pleaded for the soldiers many times before, and persuaded the late emperor to treat them well. After many years, her prestige in the hearts of the soldiers of the Imperial Army was already very high.

... The eunuch Cao Tai quietly withdrew and left the Jinxiang Hall, and hurriedly went to the Zide Hall to announce the good news.

The Shangzun title is a title given to people when they are alive, so there are no etiquette rules in the past dynasties. Compared with the posthumous titles that have been recorded for thousands of years after death, this title is not important, and of course it has no practical meaning... But it is different for Fu Jinzhan. This is a very important thing.

Because although Guo Shao did not change the title of the country, Fu Jinzhan's status was still quite embarrassing, so after Guo Shao ascended the throne, Fu Jinzhan basically stopped showing up; if the ministers and the emperor gave him the honorary title, it would be a public affirmation of her status, and it would show the new court's attitude towards her.

Cao Tai glanced at Concubine Du who was beside Fu Jinzhan, and Concubine Du slightly knelt to Fu Jinzhan, trying to avoid it. Unexpectedly, Cao Tai told the story immediately.

Concubine Du stopped immediately, and said happily, "Congratulations, Madam."

Fu Jinzhan sat on the couch, nodded slightly, very calm.

Cao Tai said anxiously again: "The court will be over in a while, Your Majesty should send the memorial to the Empress Palace for you to read." Hearing this, Mrs. Du thought it was a happy event and it was not a secret, so she stayed with Fu Jinzhan.

After a long time, I heard the eunuch report that the emperor was coming. Fu Jinzhan sat on the Yutao without moving, but looked towards the door. Concubine Du also looked sideways, waiting for the new monarch to show up.

Finally saw a man wearing a purple tunic robe coming in, people around knelt down on the ground, Concubine Du was stunned for a moment, and quickly bowed down, everyone shouted: "Kowtow to Your Majesty."

"Pingshen." The man's voice said.

Concubine Du suddenly felt that her ears were hot and her heart was beating, and her heart was heaving and a little out of breath. At first, she thought it was because she was nervous when she saw the emperor, but soon she realized that was not the case. In terms of power, before Guo Shao came to the throne, Fu Jinzhan was no less powerful than the emperor, and Mrs. Du didn't feel nervous when she often stayed with her.

"In today's court, the ministers wrote a letter to honor the emperor's wife. This is the opinion of many ministers. I invite the emperor's wife to read it." Guo Shao came over with a pile of memorials.

The closer she came, the more nervous Du became, although the emperor didn't pay attention to her at all.

Du Shi hadn't seen a bearded man for a long time. For several years, he saw either women or eunuchs... Eunuchs were also men at first, but Du Shi could instinctively feel the huge difference.

Listening to Guo Shao's voice, although it is polite and gentle, it has a completely different atmosphere from that of eunuchs and court ladies. She couldn't help quietly raising her head to pay attention to Guo Shao. His tall, burly, straight figure, sun-tanned copper-colored face, slightly rough skin exuded some unspeakable aura faintly. When he raised his hand to make a fist, the wide palm and the tendons on the back of the hand were highlighted. It was not as white and delicate as women's at all, but there was a bit of simplicity and masculinity everywhere. Du Shi hasn't felt it for a long time.

At this moment, Guo Shao's bright eyes suddenly fell on Du Shi's face, Du Shi was frightened, and hurriedly lowered his head and lowered his eyes but did not dare to move. Fortunately, Guo Shao continued to talk to Fu Shi and didn't care.

But it was only then that Mrs. Du realized that the emperor might not be able to see through his own thoughts, but Mrs. Fu next to him must have seen it... because a woman is careful and can detect even the slightest clue.

Mrs. Du pretended to observe Mrs. Fu inadvertently. Sure enough, the old lady looked at her in a different way. The smiling eyes made Mrs. Du feel ashamed for a while.

Only then did Mr. Du understand a truth: for some subtle little movements, people often think that others will not notice them, or they won't think too much about them, but they often backfire.

Her attention has shifted from Guo Shao to Fu Jinzhan, who is more related to her fate, and she finds that Fu Jinzhan is graceful and dignified, speaks calmly and politely, and is very decent from manner to tone.

... Shangzunhao has a relatively grand ceremony. In addition to going to the Taimiao to report, officials of the second rank and above in the capital and wives have to go to the palace to present congratulatory memorials. The emperor presents the gold book and seal to complete. After such a ceremony, the dignitaries all know the reputation of the revered one.

If there is a ceremony, there must be preparations, and it is agreed that the ceremony will be held in the palace five days later, that is, on April 20. In addition to arranging manpower and etiquette, the preparations must also be notified to the dignitaries in Beijing.

Qin Guogong Meng Chang received the imperial decree suddenly, he was shocked at first, and he was relieved when he learned the details.

Madam Huarui was also graded, so Meng Chang told her about it so that she could prepare for it too. Meng Chang saw that Mrs. Huarui was not worried, and seemed a little happy, so he said casually: "It's really strange, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the imperial edict did not forget to enshrine you...What kind of plan does Blacksmith Guo have? As soon as there is a grand ceremony, he can call you into the palace..."

Mrs. Huarui glared at him: "What are you still thinking about now? You gave me the title of Madam because I want to win over the people of Shu."

Meng Chang was glared at by Mrs. Huarui, only thought she was cute|cute, with a beautiful face and a soft and graceful figure, so he said: "It's been a long time since you didn't sleep with me, don't you think about it at all?"

Meng Chang didn't have a chance to gamble for a while, so he saved some money and bought more than a dozen maids. There was no shortage of women, but it was always hard to find a woman as beautiful as Mrs. Huarui, so he was tempted again.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Huarui said angrily: "I don't want to get that dirty disease!"

…The last time Meng Chang went to a gambling house to go whoring|prostitutes, he got pus-feeding venereal disease, which infected all the court ladies, and he was finally cured. But the doctor said that some people can't cure the root cause, and they won't kill people when they get sick, but Mrs. Huarui feels uncomfortable when she thinks about it.

She can't be tempted even when she looks at Meng Chang now. After this person arrived in Tokyo, he couldn't find an alchemist, and he didn't take any pills. But he still has nothing to do all day long, and there is no pill to harm his body, so his health has improved a lot, and he is whiter and fatter than in Shu, which really makes Mrs. Huarui feel that something is missing.

She turned her head and looked, Meng Chang who was sitting occupied all the chairs, like a pile of soft | meat spread out on it, the loose and soft silk robes were kneaded together, the whole person looked shapeless.

Meng Chang sighed again: "When you were in Chengdu Mansion, how dare you disobey my meaning... Alas!"

Mrs. Huarui didn't answer in silence, thinking that Meng Chang was telling the truth, not to mention that he didn't dare to resist when he was the emperor, but in fact he was much more pleasing to the eye at that time, after all, he was set off by the emperor's majesty.

But Mrs. Huarui immediately thought of Meng Chang spending a lot of money by the river to build the Crystal Palace specially for her. For a moment, Wei Wei felt guilty again, remembering that Meng Chang hadn't been mean to her before.

"That's all." Meng Chang was not angry, but rather depressed and uncomfortable.

He looked Mrs. Huarui up and down, and couldn't help asking: "Last time we were bullied by a petty official, but it was quickly resolved. Is it because of your relationship with Jingniang, or that blacksmith Guo has taken a fancy to you?"

Mrs. Huarui hurriedly said, "Of course Jingniang is helping!"

Meng Chang asked again: "Then why did Shaoqing (Zuo You) of Taichang Temple also come?"

Mrs. Huarui suddenly felt that Meng Chang was easy to be tricked by people sometimes, but she was not stupid. She said vaguely: "Jing Niang is originally from the current government, but she is not from the officialdom. If you want to deal with officials, you can only ask the current staff for help."

"That's true..." Meng Chang was thoughtful.

Mrs. Huarui said: "If you are interested in me today, you still have to order Madam to snatch me into the palace, so what?"

Meng Chang was taken aback when he heard this, and nodded in agreement.

When Mrs. Huarui said this, she really reminded herself... Why did Guo Shao ignore him? If he forgot, how could he remember to seal his title? She felt very disappointed by Guo Shao's neglect, and there was a gloomy look in her brows.

Once, she couldn't help but wanted to find Jingniang, and wanted to get close to Guo Shao through Jingniang; but Jingniang was not in Guo's mansion, so she didn't know where she went. Mrs. Huarui didn't succeed, and she felt ashamed after she came back. A married woman has been reduced to the point where she wants to seduce others?

But now, with the opportunity to enter the palace to face the saint, it seems that she can see Guo Shao again, and Mrs. Huarui feels a little complicated for a while.
