Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Guo Shao said: "Jinzhan is of course different from other women and cannot be compared."

Unexpectedly, she immediately asked, "What's the difference?"

Guo Shao was startled, and found that she was still looking at him with a smile, expecting an answer. Guo Shao thought it was unnecessary to say such things, especially for a wise person like Fu Jinzhan, if she was not the most trusted person in his heart, would he hand over the domestic military and political power to her during the personal conquest? Moreover, there are all her people inside and outside the palace, and Guo Shao didn't want to move at all.

But she is still a woman, maybe she just wants to hear those pleasant things from Guo Shao.

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, his eyes swept over her graceful figure covered by soft material clothes, and his tone softened a lot: "Grace and trust, no matter what happens, they can't be changed... Of course it's not just that."

"You don't have to worry about the kindness." Fu Jinzhan said softly, "You just need to know that I treat you well."

Guo Shao nodded without hesitation.

Fu Jinzhan raised his head and looked at the end of his broad vision, his eyes were glowing with the afternoon sun, and his eyes gradually became blurred. She murmured: "The Fu family no longer needs me to be useful, and I am also redundant to the royal family. I only have you..."

Guo Shao felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this. Seeing that Jinzhan was about to speak but stopped talking, he pondered for a moment and said, "I don't think it will take too long to recover the sixteen prefectures of Youyun. As long as I establish the great achievements of this dynasty, I will have a way to make Jinzhan justified."

Fu Jinzhan turned to look at him: "Didn't it mean that the Liao Kingdom is difficult to defeat?"

Guo Shao said sternly: "The strength of the Imperial Army in the Battle of the Northern Han Dynasty exceeded expectations. In the past, we underestimated the Great Zhou Army, especially its ability to attack cities and pull out strongholds... I have repeatedly and carefully considered that there is no way to defeat the Liao Army in Youyun. As long as you capture Youzhou City in time, the decisive battle with the Liao Army will be very profitable."

Fu Jinzhan hurriedly persuaded: "Since the (later) Jin Dynasty, the strength of the Liao Kingdom has been stronger than that of China (the Central Plains Dynasty), so don't worry."

Guo Shao frowned and said, "I can't hold back."

"You..." Fu Jinzhan looked at his face.

Guo Shao breathed out: "Not only for Jinzhan, but also for more reasons. Today's power rules lack checks and balances and are extremely unstable, but also to maximize combat power; this situation cannot last for too long, and a new system is needed. But if Youyun Sixteen States don't take it back, we will not dare to weaken our force for a day, otherwise we will not be reconciled.

And I couldn't hold back my heart, that kind of thought surged in my heart, and it was hard to restrain it. How should I describe... the powerful Zhou army, under my control, is like an extension of my hands and feet, an extension of my strength; a man can't resist | the thirst for power... I can't help but want to verify it! "

Fu Jinzhan gently persuaded: "We still need to discuss with the minister more, and then listen to other people's trade-offs."

"That's natural." Guo Shao nodded, took a breath again, and said softly, "Jinzhan has never been superfluous to me. Whether it was difficult in the past or getting smoother now, I will never forget my original intention. What is the meaning of everything I have worked hard without someone close to me to share it with?"

After hearing this, Fu Jinzhan pursed his soft and smooth red lips, unable to speak.

...

After the banquet in the Jinxiang Palace, the ministers and nobles made friends with each other in the imperial city, and then left the imperial city one after another. Some went to the Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate, and some went to the Xuande Gate in the south.

Qin Guogong Mengchang took Mrs. Huarui to Donghua Gate, and was also preparing to return home.

Meng Chang walked halfway, and suddenly looked back at the majestic Jinxiang Palace and sighed: "I thought the Northern Han Kingdom was a powerful country (in the past, the relationship between the Shu Kingdom and the Central Plains was tense, and the first thing was to contact the Northern Han Kingdom to respond in the north and contain the military power of the Central Plains). Unexpectedly, the capital was captured in half a month. When the Shu Kingdom was conquered, we had no choice but to accept our fate..."

After a while, Meng Chang casually said again: "By the way, the court lady Xiao He we brought over from the Kingdom of Shu is going to get married, so she came to beg me for mercy, and I have already promised her."

"Xiao He...she didn't tell me either." Mrs. Huarui said. She was familiar with that court lady. When she first arrived in Tokyo, her livelihood was relatively difficult, and she hadn't bought as many servants as she is now, so there were not many people around her. Xiaohe is the court lady who was infected with the disease of willow by Mengchang. Mrs. Huarui still remembers that incident.

Meng Chang said: "I still have the final say in Duke Qin's Mansion, of course she begged me first."

Madam Huarui asked softly, "Who will you marry?"

Meng Chang said: "It's Fu Er who runs errands and buys things in the front yard."

Mrs. Huarui frowned immediately and said: "That man is lazy and greedy for petty gains. If it wasn't for eunuch Wei Zhong, I would have sent him away... What's so good, why did Xiao He marry him?"

Meng Chang laughed disapprovingly and said, "Do you think Xiao He is a famous lady, or something? It's good that Fu Er is willing to marry her. As long as he is like that, at least he has some family background. He can still get money from Duke Qin's mansion every month, but can't he marry a daughter-in-law?"

Mrs. Huarui was silent, but she had to admit that Meng Chang was telling the truth.

Because she was determined to look down on people like Fu Er, she sympathized with Xiao He for a while, and also felt sad like a rabbit died of a fox; her original background was no different from Xiao He, except that she was more beautiful. Mrs. Huarui thought again, she will not end up like Xiao He, and now she still has status.

Just at this moment, a tall woman in a purple robe was quickly chasing after her.

"Jingniang!" Mrs. Huarui called softly, her dull expression changed to very affectionate.

Jing Niang came over, clasped her fists and said, "Greetings to Qin Guogong and Mrs. Huarui."

Meng Chang hurriedly said: "There is no need to be too polite, no need to be too polite."

In terms of dignity, Meng Chang's status as the Duke of the State is a very high title, so Jingniang has to salute... But the real strength is very obvious, Jingniang is a close confidant of the emperor.

Jingniang's face was cold, but Madam Huarui looked at her with a smile on her face: "We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"I heard that you are also here for the banquet today, and I will see you off only after you leave," Jing Niang said.

Mrs. Huarui said softly: "Sister Jing, why are you being so polite... But I haven't seen you for a few months, and I really want to see you and talk to you."

Mrs. Huarui knows Jingniang well. This woman seems extremely difficult to get close to, but she is a person with clear grievances and grudges. She always remembers the help she gave her back then.

"Madam, if you have anything to do, you don't need to see me." Jing Niang said lightly.

Mrs. Huarui said: "Oh, I'm leaving the imperial city soon, and I just saw you now. Why don't we find a place to talk, or we'll meet and separate."

Jing Niang was noncommittal, and looked sideways at Meng Chang. Mrs. Huarui said: "Ah Lang go back to the mansion first, Jing Niang will take me back later."

Meng Chang's face was a bit embarrassed, he was very wary of this palace, because Guo Shao lived here, this kind of thinking was probably a man's instinct. Mrs. Huarui has never been close to Meng Chang since she arrived in Tokyo, but she feels that Meng Chang still regards herself as his, after all, her status is still there.

Mrs. Huarui gave her a wink. Xindao: Mengchang should be able to understand that our friendship with Jingniang is a very rare relationship in Tokyo.

Sure enough, Meng Chang said out of embarrassment: "You are all women, I can't stay longer, so I will take my leave first."

After Mengchang left, Jingniang looked around. This is the front office area of ​​the imperial city, and there are many government officials around, which is really inconvenient. Mrs. Huarui saw it and asked, "Where does Jing Niang live?"

"Inside Xuanyou Gate..." Jingniang said, then paused, "Come with me."

The two walked together for a long time, the imperial city was very big, and most people could not ride horses or cars, most of them walked. Fortunately, Jingniang was there, and the two of them walked freely without anyone stopping them.
