Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Li Xin used to travel between Xingwang's Mansion and Jiangning Mansion to do business. After returning to Beijing, he was just promoted to the provincial envoy, and he didn't even have a mansion. He rented a small courtyard in Tokyo to live in.

After he got home, he wrote the memorial, and wrote down what he wanted to say on the ivory card, so as not to be nervous when he went to court. Normally, if you ask him to say something, it will be easy to speak, but when he is in a big court, he may become confused. It is necessary to write down the words in a place that is easy to see.

It was prepared early, but Li Xinxin was still very hesitant.

Whether it's forcing confessions from the crew and artisans, or recruiting people to handle errands, Li Xin can handle it properly, but he is completely unsure about these things at the moment, and his eyes are completely dark! He is not familiar with the Tokyo Imperial Court, how does he know the depth of the water inside?

However, Wang Pu was the secret envoy and told him such an important matter. If you refuse, will there be good fruit in the future?

Li Xin did not forget that he had been in the cell for several months, and it was Wang Pu who fished him out. Since this person can easily get himself out of the Tokyo prison, it should be easy to send him back in.

He remembered the food he ate in prison, and once there were maggots in the bowl somehow!

Li Xin stayed restless for a while, seeing servants sweeping the floor outside the door, his family members were still in the east of the river, and there were only a few attendants around him who were buying firewood, rice, cooking, washing and other tasks. Li Xin said: "I want to eat offal, and corn porridge. I want to cook it with corn from the east of the river. Get me some."

"I'll do it now, old slave." The servant replied.

After Li Xin ate what he wanted, he thought that he hadn't had sex with a woman for a long time, and he didn't know if he would have a chance in the future. He also asked the servant to take money to hire a young lady from the kiln in the alley.

But the servant was a little old, and it was not very proper to do it. The kiln lady he was looking for looked very dirty, and there was a stink mixed with a complex smell of makeup and powder on her body. Li Xin fiddled with it for a long time, but he didn't succeed.

Li Xin lived in a small private house, and the woman didn't know that he was an official, so she said rudely: "No way, I'll find Sister Yao, I'll be full!"

Hearing this, Li Xin became angry, and gave the woman a cold look. It was too easy to deal with a woman in a kiln. This woman had never seen how Li Xin used people to extract a confession!

But in the end he sent her the money to let her go, so there was no need to argue with a woman in a brothel.

He sat on the chair and let out a long sigh.

A few days later, on the 15th day, the Jinxiang Hall was in full swing. Officials above the fifth rank in Beijing were going to congratulate them, and when Li Xin was ready to set off, it was still dark. In winter, the days were short and the nights were long. Li Xin rode a horse. The air was dry and cold on the dark road, and the wind felt extremely uncomfortable on his body. At this time, it was as if he was going to the execution ground. It was not so easy to seek wealth and honor, he simply went with his head up.

When we arrived at the Jinxiang Palace, the scene was completely different. The lights were as bright as day, and the interior was warm and luxurious. Li Xin was also inspired by the bright and atmospheric atmosphere created by the sound of chime bells and golden drums.

The emperor walked up to the throne wearing a dragon robe, and when he sat down, he heard a "bang" sound of a gong, as if it was the soundtrack for the emperor's behavior. The civil and military officials immediately kowtowed and saluted.

It was not Li Xin's turn to speak for the time being. Firstly, the Lord of Wuyue, under the watchful eyes of the officials, went forward to congratulate the emperor for recovering the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, and offered generous tributes. The emperor happily rewarded the robes with ribbons and other things, and ordered to give a banquet in the palace, to have a banquet with the Lord of Wuyue in person.

The officials were excited, and they made another high-sounding rhetoric.

Li Xinxin had something to do, so he dealt with it. Even though he didn't participate in state affairs, when he saw the Lord of Wuyue, he immediately understood: This fellow came to surrender!

At this time, he had more confidence in his heart. Zhou Tianzi even destroyed Shu, Tang, Han, Nanping and other countries. Now that he has recovered the land of Youzhou, Wuyue Kingdom has come to offer land and surrender. It seems reasonable to persuade him to change the country's name and become the founding emperor!

Moreover, today the Lord of Wu and Yue came to surrender, and the emperor saved the money, food and human life of the war. He was happy, and Li Xin's risk was reduced by a little bit.

Of course, the Lord of Wuyue only said that he would go to Beijing to congratulate him today, and he didn't say that he would surrender and offer soil. But the king of Wuyue has come to Tokyo, can he go back? He dared to come because he was ready to surrender, and whether he wanted to or not, the imperial court would definitely ask him to hand over the Wuyue Kingdom; as long as the leader offered an expression, the country would not dare to resist by force.

However, Li Xin did not see these things, and the operation process would not be mentioned in the court.

The dynasties on the first and fifteenth day of every month are mostly just a cutscene, showing the royal dignity and letting the officials see the emperor's health; almost no one talks about serious business on such occasions, and if they say something, they also say some innocuous praises.

But Li Xin felt that he was an exception today.

At this moment, an eunuch said in a long voice: "If there is something to do, let's play, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court!"

As soon as Li Xin gritted his teeth and stood up, all eyes immediately focused on him. Li Xin said: "Li Xin, the minister and guest minister, has something to report to His Majesty."

The eunuch glanced at him and retreated to the lower side of the throne.

Li Xin bent down, looked at the ivory card in his hand and said loudly: "The Tang Dynasty ended, after the Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Wu dynasties, the world was divided and the Khitan invaded. Zhou Taizu established the country, and the world still has other countries. Although Taizu is called emperor, he is actually one of the vassals...Now Your Majesty destroys Shu, Tang, Eastern Han, Southern Han and other countries.

"Wow!" Above the huge temple, the officials were in an uproar.

It seems that there are still a large number of officials who have not thought about this matter, and people are very surprised. After a while, the hall gradually became quiet again, even quieter than before, and people didn't dare to make any noise.

The higher-ups didn't say anything, so Li Xin bowed and stood there waiting. He only felt his scalp numb, his whole head went blank, and stood here, waiting for the consequences.

At this moment, Guo Shao spoke in person: "Since I have inherited the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this matter cannot be done. You must not talk about this matter again."

After a while, the eunuch stepped forward again and said loudly: "Li Xin, you have made great contributions to the construction of sea ships and the country. What the government values ​​most is people who do practical things for the country. You are counting on your great achievements, and you will not be punished. You should go to Jiangning Mansion to present the map of the sea ship. It is a serious matter, so that you can do it yourself!"

Hearing this, Li Xin heaved a long sigh of relief secretly, and hurriedly said: "My humble servant thanks God for his grace!"

…Speak up in public to change the name of the country and abandon the Great Zhou Taimiao Sheji! Although the emperor immediately rejected it, is there anything wrong with the person who said such a thing? Now the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty suddenly realized!

This attitude is too obvious. Even if the emperor had the heart, it would not be an exaggeration for the first person to say that he would be dismissed from office and imprisoned, or cut off... In the current situation, Guo Shao's food is relatively ugly.

Guo Shao's achievements so far are really too great, no one dares to question his authority, and now it's easy, and he doesn't even cover it up seriously.

Moreover, Li Xin must belong to Wang Pu, and many people have even insisted that Wang Pu instructed him.

The first person who said it was fine, the emperor couldn't use the second person to sacrifice to the flag, so all the generals joined in the fun for a while, and there were so many people who wrote letters! Conglong's support of the iron and steel, no one wants to be stupid enough to confront the royal family in this situation.

When there are too many people, there are endless reasons for Guo Shao to find another Jianguo name. As long as you are determined to find reasons and explanations for anything, you can always find them.

Everyone also understood Guo Shao very well: After all, changing the title of the country is the founding emperor, and later being Taizu, the status is different; it is even possible to posthumously designate Guo Shao's father and grandfather as emperor... Guangzong Yaozu, who wouldn't want it? Now he belongs to Zhou Taizu's lineage, Guo Shao's ancestors can't stand the status.

His courtiers, civil and military, have no pressure. Anyway, they are with Guo Shao. After changing the name of the country, he can be the founding hero. Only the old ministers of the previous dynasty need to wait and see.

...but another person has a different idea, that is Fu Jinzhan. Fu Jinzhan's heart was turbulent at this time. She knew Guo Shao too well these years. Guo Shao was "unfilial" and never felt sorry for his parents. From Jinzhan's point of view, he doesn't have much interest in Guangzong Yaozu, let alone turn the country upside down for such a thing; he is not interested in whether he is the founding emperor, anyway, Guo Shao only wants the stability of power and authority.

Then there is only one motive for him!

The women around Jinzhan were worrying about her, and a court lady said cautiously: "If His Majesty changes the country's name, the empress's title..."

In their view, the biggest reason for Jinzhan's status in the palace is that she is the first emperor and empress. If the Great Zhou Dynasty perishes, wouldn't it be troublesome for the royal family to let the former queen dominate the harem?

Concubine Du said: "Of course the title is still there. The queen is the official wife, and the empress is the queen's sister. What are you worried about?"

Some former concubines and palace ladies said: "We also hope that the empress will be safe and sound, so it is good to have a place to stand in the palace."

Fu Jinzhan heard it, and felt that these people had become more courageous now, and they didn't dare to speak like this before. But she doesn't care about it, if the fame and prestige can't be suppressed, it will naturally be the case.

Fu Jinzhan remained calm, looking around, with a very shallow smile on his face: "You don't have to worry, if there is anything in the palace, I will let my sister take care of you, and it is not in vain for you to serve me for so long."

Everyone immediately chattered, "I don't dare to think about myself, but what I think about is your empress." "The empress respects my empress the most, and will definitely think about you."

Fu Jinzhan looked calm and indifferent: "I have become indifferent to the power and position in the palace. I just want to live my remaining life peacefully. If there is a change in the court, it is not appropriate for me, a former queen, to stay in the court. I will ask the official family to return to my natal family and live in silence."

After hearing this, everyone sighed and sighed, their faces were faintly disappointed with Jinzhan. A master who has lost the will to be aggressive and who cannot shelter and protect them really makes those who follow her hopeless. \u003c
