Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

After the morning meeting, the sky was still not bright. Guo Shao sent Cao Tai to invite Fu Jinzhan, and he decided to meet her in the outer court.

A group of officials in the outer hall of the study were already sitting in front of the copybooks and immersed themselves in writing. They were always very busy and serious, but Guo Shao always felt that these people who were responsible for passing government orders, contacting various yamen and central relations should not be so busy, otherwise they would not want to be on duty every day when they first arrived at You.

Inside is the study and the offices of several cabinet ministers, and Guo Shao often read memorials here. However, the memorials of the past two days have not been paid attention to, and they are piled up on the imperial case covered with yellow silk. Only Huang Binglian is sorting these memorials, and Zuo You just returned to Beijing yesterday, and was just talking to Guo Shao in the archive room.

Guo Shao walked into a hall at the back, found a place to sit down, flipped through some files and waited.

After a long time, an eunuch bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Queen Duanci has arrived."

Guo Shao stood up, and saw Fu Jinzhan, wearing a phoenix crown and robes, coming in from the north gate, and they greeted each other. Fu Jinzhan waved his hand lightly, and the women in purple round necks who followed came back and quietly avoided.

The two sat down beside a table, and the maid brought tea. Guo Shao asked casually and politely: "Is the emperor's wife all right?"

Fu Jinzhan uttered a sentence softly: "Two months go by very slowly."

What she said was very decent and light, but it was not a common formula. Guo Shao felt a little special, and thought for a moment: the slow time was due to waiting and anticipation. When he was waiting for someone just now, he felt that time was slower.

Guo Shao couldn't help but look at her expression. Sure enough, Fu Jinzhan's eyes were twinkling at this time, and she looked a little embarrassed... She herself is a generous and dignified person. With a soft word, Guo Shao felt like a ripple in his heart.

It is easy for him to ignore some simple words; or he can only recall them when he thinks of them suddenly. Guo Shao suddenly remembered what Li Yuan'er said last night: The country belongs to His Majesty, but His Majesty has someone to succeed him.

Li Yuan'er didn't modestly say that the son should be the heir, but that sentence didn't make Guo Shao feel any discomfort at that time, on the contrary it was very pleasing to the ears. He pondered, an emperor's country indeed belonged to the prince...but there was a premise, after he died, no one else could think about it while he was alive.

"Your Majesty." Fu Jinzhan's voice reached his ears.

Guo Shao looked up at her, and said what he had thought up before: "I have a plan to tidy up the side hall on the west side, and the emperor's wife will help deal with state affairs in the west hall. It happens that the Political Affairs Hall is on the west side, and the Privy Council is on the east side."

Fu Jinzhan was surprised: "Your Majesty has already returned to Beijing. You are a legitimate son of heaven, and you are in your prime. Is it wrong for me, a woman, to interfere in the government?"

Guo Shaodao: "Since the Xuanren Dynasty, the emperor's wife has come to the court twice. The officials are convinced, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the emperor's wife is virtuous and talented. Now that the four sides are still fighting, I need you."

Fu Jinzhan groaned, but did not answer.

Guo Shao said that this matter was not a whim, he thought it over and over again. First of all, he has always had a wish to return and compensate Jinzhan after he becomes famous. She has shown too much kindness to him, and treats him with heart like a real sister... Now that Guo Shao has even done the emperor, he can be regarded as outstanding, but he always feels that he can't give Jinzhan anything. The original plan was to recover Youyun Sixteen States and establish a great cause, and then give her a title, so that she can share all of this in a legitimate way, but now that Youzhou has not been captured, I don't know when it will be.

Power is very important to court women. Guo Shao wants to give her power, she has real power, no matter the officials of the foreign court or the harem must sing praises, at least he dare not give her courage... because the fate and future are in the hands of the superior.

The second is to share the fruits. Guo Shao was able to proclaim himself emperor, and Jinzhan played a key role; now that he is sitting on the world, it is said that the world belongs to him alone, and Jinzhan stays in the harem as the former queen?

Guo Shao sighed slightly, turned his head and observed quietly that there were no court ladies and eunuchs around, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect such a result of the Northern Expedition."

Fu Jinzhan's bright eyes flicked across his face, and said: "I was worried about Brother Shao at first, but I am very relieved to hear what you did after you came back."

Guo Shao listened silently.

Fu Jinzhan was silent for a moment, and said softly: "I'm fine now, you don't have to worry about it. You and the ministers have honored me, and I have a name and a place in the palace. You trust and care about me so much, and my second sister is the queen. I have nothing wrong now."

She said with a smile on her face. When she smiled, her eyes were curved, her forehead was plump and round, and her skin was white and smooth. She looked very beautiful. As well as her words and thoughts, Guo Shao's heart was brightened unconsciously, as if the surroundings were full of sunshine.

At this time, a ray of morning sun poured into the hall from the east window, Guo Shao turned his head to look at the bright light, and said, "I'm afraid even a wicked person would be obsessed with the scenery at this time?"

He came back to his senses and said, "Fortunately, Jinzhan comforted me."

Fu Jinzhan murmured: "I am also fortunate to have brother Shao, you are..."

Guo Shao didn't hear the next sentence, so he looked at her and waited for the next sentence. Fu Jinzhan blushed, pursed her smooth red lips, and said in a trembling voice: "You are my reliance."

...

The imperial court quickly agreed to posthumously designate Luo Mengzi as the Duke of Yan, grant the mother and wife of the Luo family as the imperial wife, and choose a place in Tokyo to build the Duke of Yan's mansion for the Luo family.

Yang Ye was summoned by the emperor to reward him for his contribution to capturing the son of the anti-general. He also gave him a mansion in Tokyo, rewarding him with gold, silver, saddles and other things.

Many ministers were present at the award ceremony, so Guo Shao retreated to his study and summoned Yang Ye alone.

The monarchs and ministers were very happy to talk about some art of war. But Guo Shao hoped that he would bring up the matter of Zhe Dejian here, but it was a pity that Yang Ye never mentioned it.

After such a long time, Guo Shao calculated that if Li Yun had contacted Zhe Dejian, Zhe Dejian would have gone to Tokyo long ago to write a letter... But the fact is that Zhe Dejian not only did not come to Tokyo in person, he did not even write a letter.

Guo Shao couldn't help thinking: It's possible that Li Yun didn't contact Zhe Dejian. But as the son-in-law of the Zhe family, Yang Ye should definitely contact the Zhe family on such a major event.

Guo Shao was talking and laughing with Yang Ye while thinking about it. Yang Ye came to Tokyo by himself and pretended not to know what it meant?

"General Yang has a lot of insight in the strategy of marching and deploying formations, um..." Guo Shao praised, and seemed to be on the verge of saying nothing, and pondered.

Yang Ye also reflexively waited for the second half of the sentence.

But Guo Shao didn't say it out, thinking why does he seem to be less savvy in political communication?

After a while Guo Shao didn't say anything, Yang Ye hurriedly said, "I don't dare to fight with an axe."

Guo Shao gave up, anyway, he didn't dare to touch Yang Ye at this time... unless he wanted to immediately turn the Northwest Jingnan Army into a mess due to fear and worry. Guo Shao didn't intend to give up trying to win over and trust Yang Ye right away, after all, the general of the Yang family had impressed him deeply; the Hedong Army also needed a coach of Yang Ye's status to maintain its combat effectiveness.

And Guo Shao thought about it from another angle, it might be a good thing that a general with military talent is not too shrewd about court officialdom.

Guo Shao immediately said: "Hedong's military affairs are very important. I will soon leave General Yang to stay in Tokyo. I will never forget your loyalty to the imperial court."

Yang Ye said: "I should live up to your Majesty's great trust and carefully guard the east pass."

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "You go back to Hedong to rectify the military affairs first. After a while, the imperial court will deploy a new military strategy. General Yang can come to Tokyo to discuss important matters."

After hearing this, Yang Ye was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Guo Shao saw that he didn't care much, so he helped him up calmly, and gave him some kind words.
