Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The sound of silk and bamboo orchestras in the main hall could be faintly heard, and the performance over there should be replaced by the dances of the dancers. [, Zide Hall is very crowded today, in addition to the main hall full of guests, there are also many eunuchs and maids outside the bedroom. But in the depths of the curtain, no one bothered. The windows had been closed tightly, the curtains were lowered, and the light in the bedroom became dim. The sunlight penetrated a little light from the edge of the purple curtains, just like the colorful clouds that the sun hides in the dark clouds.

There were only the two of them in the palace, but the sounds outside still made them a little nervous, and they spoke very quietly.

Fu Jinzhan said: "I am not as good at singing and dancing as Madam Huarui and Zhou Ehuang, and I am also older than you..."

Guo Shao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said with a smile: "Then I will teach Jinzhan how to dance."

Fu Jinzhan couldn't help laughing: "You can dance?"

"Really will." Guo Shao said solemnly, "It's still a two-person dance. Although it's not as entertaining as those dancers, the focus is on participating, and you don't have to sit and watch."

So Guo Shao stepped forward, put his arms around Fu Jinzhan's waist, grabbed her hand with the other hand, and said, "Put that hand on my shoulder at will."

Fu Jinzhan said: "They're all hugged together, is this called dancing?"

Guo Shao took his time to teach her ballroom dancing, which is the only dance he knows, and he learned it in college before. It was not easy to learn at that time, and I stepped on my partner countless times.

But to his surprise, after telling Fu Jinzhan the pace, she only said it once, and she remembered it, although it was relatively unfamiliar at first. Accompanied by the rhythm of the music outside, the two gradually developed a tacit understanding... Fu Jinzhan is indeed smarter than the people of later generations, at least Guo Shao feels that he cannot keep up with her.

Not long after, Fu Jinzhan said softly: "How can we dance if you are like this?"

Guo Shaodao: "I can't help it."

Fu Jinzhan said: "Then your hands are still moving around."

Guo Shao didn't stop, he gently stroked her back with his fingers, and said in a deep voice, "It's so beautiful."

This ballroom dance is something made for ambiguity, so close, you can even smell the smell of Jinzhan's hair, I don't believe you will have no thoughts when dancing. He moved a little closer, freed his hands, and gently stroked her temple hair with the back of his fingers, and whispered with his lips almost touching her ears: "The one between the black silk and the skin is the most delicate. Your ears are like jade..."

Fu Jinzhan's breathing was a bit heavy: "What else?"

Guo Shaodao: "I also like your shoulders. The bones are slender, the skin is plump, the shoulders are straight, and the shape is round."

Fu Jinzhan moved her head away from Guo Shao's shoulders, her beautiful bright eyes sparkled, she stretched out her onion-like fingers and put them on Guo Shao's mouth, with a shy face, she said softly: "Don't dance, we will learn later. Let's review another thing."

... Fu Jinzhan woke up in a daze, turned his head to look at the light and shade of the window curtains, and judged that he had just taken a nap for a while. He didn't dare to sleep here, and the longer he stayed, the easier it was to show off, but he just lay down because he was too tired. She reached out her hand to touch the bed sheet next to it, and it was empty, as if it still carried the residual warmth of Guo Shao's body.

Unprepared, Fu Jinzhan felt an inexplicable sadness welling up in his heart.

The sound of music that was blocked by several walls outside was still floating in the music, but this spacious and gorgeous bedroom still seemed very empty.

She remembered that the first time she was with Guo Shao was in the idle mansion of the Fu family. They spent the night, but they had no bed to sleep in, and they left before dawn. Afterwards, I spent several times with Guo Shao one after another, always looking for a place to hide and get close to each other in a hurry.

Fu Jinzhan suddenly thought of something very much at this time, An Ansheng woke up, and there was someone lying beside him, a man she trusted, Brother Shao.

She was stunned for a while, not daring to stay too long, so she got up and found the corset and small clothes from the clothes beside her.

...

Early the next morning, everything in the imperial city was as usual. Guo Shao met with several important people in the military and government in the side hall on the east side of Jinxiang Hall to discuss and arrange some important matters. He was sitting on a high-ranking chair, and all the ministers were also sitting. This kind of scene was similar to being on duty in the front of the palace before, and habits could not be changed all at once.

Guo Shao recounted recent events, then turned to look at Privy Councilor Wang Pu, Wang Pu seemed to have something to say.

Wang Pu raised his head and saw Guo Shao looking at him, pondered for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, have you decided on the year name?"

Guo Shaoxin said: "I mentioned it once when I was enthroned, but I didn't get a satisfactory result, and then I put it on hold. After all, it's only April now, and the reign name will only be used in the next year. There is no need to be so anxious... But why did Wang Pu insist on mentioning it?"

If someone asked this question, Guo Shao would not think too much about it. But Wang Pu has always been resourceful and thoughtful, so he would never say useless words on this occasion.

The title of Fu Jinzhan was not thought up by Guo Shao, it can be decided by ministers; but the year title is generally determined by the emperor himself, this thing not only has the function of "Fengzheng Shuo" in the name, but also can express some emperor's ideas and direction of state governance to a certain extent. (For example, the reign title of Taiping Xingguo has the idea of ​​pursuing peace and restraining martial arts.)

When Guo Shao thought about it, he understood what Wang Pu meant...the functions of the court center and the front office were different. They not only dealt with daily affairs, but also planned the country's long-term strategy. That's what Wang Pu meant. He wanted to ask Guo Shao what his plans were, but it wasn't easy to ask directly.

Guo Shao has thought about this question many times since he took the throne for one month.

In the current situation, the regime change is relatively stable. The situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty has occupied most of the core areas of the Datong Dynasty. The main directions are nothing more than two: to protect the imperial power? Or do you want to continue to fight and build greater achievements... Take back the Sixteen Youyun Prefecture from the Liao Kingdom?

When Guo Shao was a military commander, he publicized some of his political views and ambitions, and he wrote about his desire to recover rivers and mountains in military music; but he did not formally confirm it in the court.

Perhaps from the perspective of self-interest, if one has already sat on the throne, then the safety of one's own throne and the safety of the throne of future generations is more important than anything else. To protect the imperial power of the Guo family, restricting military generals is undoubtedly the right way, because since the end of Tang Dynasty (Five Dynasties), the collapse of several dynasties was mainly due to the lack of prestige of the descendants after the death of the founding emperor.

Guo Shao thinks that he is only twenty-four years old, and he is not satisfied with this; but he does not want the previous pattern to continue, he is looking for a way... After a long silence, he did not answer directly, but said: "It has always been my dream to recover the rivers and mountains, restore the prestige and glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and build the foundation of the empire. In the future, I will not treat you badly."

When he said this, everyone turned their heads to look at his face, and several of them looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.
