Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Plants are planted in the entire yard here, even in the living room there are several wooden shelves with colorful potted plants placed on them. Guo Shao sat down and smelled the colorful and mixed fragrance of flowers and plants, the tranquil smell.

But this time he really didn't have a leisurely time, the discomfort of his body would affect his state of mind.

At this moment, a young lady came up holding a colored glass cup. Guo Shao almost didn't recognize that this girl was Xiao Chuo. Xiao Chuo's shaved hair had grown to her shoulders, and it was too short to comb, so she braided some small braids, which made her look a bit more lively and pretty. She was wearing a silk Hanfu with a wide collar, and her breasts gradually swelled.

"Your Majesty, have a cup of tea." Xiao Chuo said cautiously, with a flattering look.

Guo Shao didn't make a sound, took off his hat and put it on the table, revealing a bald head, sitting there in a state of discomfort, looking at Xiao Chuo with complicated expressions. Xiao Chuo glanced at his head quietly, his face was flushed, as if he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

The culprit is this bitch's father! When Guo Shao thought of Xiao Siwen, he felt hostile. He used to respect this enemy for his knowledge, but this guy's methods were too low... Under the storm, how much blood was shed, but this black hand behind the scenes was rich and rich.

Guo Shao said casually: "Xiao Siwen seems to completely forget that his daughter is still in my hands."

After hearing this, Xiao Chuo showed fear and buried his head down.

Lu Lan also came over and bowed slightly to salute Guo Shao. Guo Shao pointed to the rattan chair opposite, "Miss Lu, please sit down."

Lu Lan glanced at Guo Shao's bald head, and said softly: "At that time, His Majesty's hair was to be shaved off, and the imperial doctors all objected. Your Majesty won't blame the concubine, will you?"

The ancients regarded hair as important, but Guo Shao didn't have that concept at all, and said casually, "Life is important, and hair can grow."

Lu Lan said with a smile: "I know that His Majesty is not a person who sticks to the world."

Guo Shao stretched out his hand to play with the crystal clear glass. Although the person serving it was a Khitan woman, he still trusted Lu Lan here. Looking at the thin green leaves and white flowers floating in the water, the leaves are like lips, and the shape is a bit strange, so I asked, "What kind of flower is this?"

Lu Lan replied softly, "Rosemary."

"Oh." Guo Shao nodded and didn't continue talking, obviously he was not interested. He moved his body, and said solemnly, "Miss Lu saved me, I came here today to thank you, what do you want, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."

Lu Lan felt slightly disappointed when she heard this. She pursed her lips and made a subtle movement. There seemed to be pearl fine powder in the rouge, and there was a delicate luster in the sunlight leaking from between the flowers and plants.

She smiled again, turned her head to look at Xiao Chuo and said, "My mother asked Yanyan to serve tea, and wanted to ask His Majesty to forgive her, as long as she didn't hurt her life, I don't know His Majesty..."

Although Guo Shao resented what Xiao Siwen had done, he had no intention of venting his anger on Xiao Chuo. It would seem a bit incompetent to take revenge on a young lady! The point is, it doesn't work either.

"I promise you." Guo Shao said without hesitation.

He also pondered that sometimes women are more generous than men. Xiao Siwen snatched Bai's family away, causing her family to be ruined, but Bai's family still wanted to protect Xiao Siwen's daughter; perhaps in Liao Kingdom, Bai's family had some feelings for this child.

After hearing this, Lu Lan said shyly, "Your Majesty has always responded to my requests."

Guo Shao pretended to be calm and said, "It's just a trivial matter."

... Eunuch Wang Zhongbai waited for Guo Shao outside the door boredly, while Li Yueji was still standing there not far away.

Wang Zhong looked at it a few times, and finally went over to Li Yueji to answer: "The concubine Xian is not going back, what are you doing here?"

Li Yueji used to look down on this kind of eunuch who was neither male nor female, but after staying in Daxu Palace for so long, she seemed to have lost her original arrogance, and immediately said: "I want to talk to the officials."

Wang Zhong frowned and said, "What is there to talk about? If the officials want to see you, you don't need to pester them here."

Li Yueji heard a humiliating red on her face, "I don't want to entangle the officials, but I am a virtuous concubine of the Daxu royal family."

Wang Zhong looked Li Yueji up and down with a sneer, as if recalling how this ungrateful girl used to treat him as a slave and didn't even look at him, now he looked around and said in a low voice, "I don't know how long you can last as a virtuous concubine!"

Li Yueji frowned after hearing this.

Wang Zhong whispered again: "Miss Lu has helped His Majesty so many things, and recently she has made great contributions to saving him. If you change to a man, you must be named a marquis and worship minister, and you will be among the third princes; unfortunately, Lady Lu is a daughter...only the title of imperial concubine can be rewarded. Now Daxu Palace has both a queen and four wives, where is there a place? Unless one is replaced..."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Yueji thoughtfully with some irony.

Li Yueji's face turned pale when she heard this, and her hair became hairy after being scrutinized by Wang Zhong. In fact, she didn't care much about the fame and status in the harem. After all, she was born rich and a member of the party, but... If she is not even a concubine, can she still help her father who was arrested and rebelled?

Li Yueji looked down on Wang Zhong in her heart, but she had to think that what the eunuch said was very reasonable. If Mrs. Lu was to move her position, she, the daughter of a downtrodden criminal, was the most suitable candidate.

She glanced at the gate of the yard, feeling very disturbed.

... Zhou Xian is also upset and angry at this moment.

Zhou Xian looked at the box of jewelry in front of him, and said coldly: "Mrs. Zhou, I can't help you!"

The standing woman is Zhou Duan's wife, Wang Shi. Zhou Duan is a member of the Zhou family. Because of Zhou Xian's relationship, he defected to Guo Shao very early and became a long history in Xuzhou.

Wang's Lihua said with rain: "My husband really didn't participate in the affair of the Zhao family. But those officials are filial all the year round, and if they don't accept them, they will offend others! My husband has no choice but to repay Zuo Fuzheng for his kindness during the holidays... Before this, my husband didn't even know that those officials in Xuzhou were so bold to commit such a big case, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to accept it!"

Zhou Xian said coldly: "Then why don't you find Zuo You? I'm a girl, how can I manage official affairs?"

Choking with sobs, Wang said, "Zuo Fuzheng is in trouble now, and I hope my wife will have a chance to help intercede. It is not Zuo Fuzheng who is in charge of the case, but Huang Fuzheng (Huang Binglian) and the members of the Privy Council."

Zhou Xian became even angrier after hearing this, and immediately took off the things on his head and wrists and put them in the box, and pushed forward: "Take them all back!"

"Madam, I beg you!" Mrs. Wang thumped and knelt on the ground, "Husband is finally your natal family. If he loses his reputation, it will not be good for Madam's reputation and status..."

Zhou Xiandao: "You take the things away first. Now the entry and exit of the palace is strictly checked. What things did you bring in and what things did you take away? The Ministry of Internal Affairs will be very clear. How dare I accept it?"

There seemed to be some room for this sentence, so Wang stopped crying, thanked her a thousand times and begged for mercy.

Mrs. Wang promised to take back the jewels brought in today, but did not accept the previous ones. In anger, Zhou Xian blurted out that the origin of those things was unknown, and he felt dirty wearing them, which made Wang feel ashamed all of a sudden.

After finally sending Wang away, Zhou Xian was still restless. Zhou Xian looked down on his cousin Chen Jiali in his heart, and thought that Chen Jiali was hypocritical and high-spirited, but she was actually a bitch who set up a memorial archway! Did he become the kind of person she looked down upon? She thought a lot, thinking that sooner or later Guo Shao would know about it, and she was afraid that Guo Shao would look down on her.

... When Guo Shao returned to the Long Live Hall from Lu Lan's residence, he saw the eunuch Yang Shiliang standing bowed at the door. He turned his head and waved to Yang Shiliang. Yang Shiliang followed into the room and whispered something in Guo Shao's ear.

After hearing this, Guo Shao sat on the chair and thought for a while, then said: "Ehuang has a noble temperament, and she is not a person who covets things outside her body, but her cousin Chen Jiali is so rich that every time she comes to the palace, she wears very rare jewelry, and she never repeats the same."

"Your Majesty is wise." Yang Shiliang said.

"Decree to the inner treasury, select some good jewels, and reward Ehuang for me." Guo Shao handled the matter decisively.

"Abiding by the order." Yang Shiliang bowed, and said calmly after a while, "This matter has little to do with Mrs. Zhou, but Governor Xu Zhouduan..."

Guo Shaodao: "Aren't Wang Pu and Huang Binglian doing it?"

"Yes, yes." Yang Shiliang responded.

Guo Shao rubbed his head wearing a hood, and felt that this matter was a bit complicated... If Zhou Duan fell down, Zuo You might be involved. Because Zhou Duan and Zuo You had a close relationship a long time ago, Guo Shao could figure out with his toes that if Zhou Duan accepted a bribe, he would definitely share it with Zuo You, who is in the center of power...

This is very common in officialdom, usually nothing happens. But once something big happens, it will be pulled out.

Guo Shao couldn't confirm what was going on in the middle, but based on his years of understanding of Zuo You, he felt that Zuo You was unlucky this time... Luo Yanhuan came to him and made him feel bad, but it is very likely that Zuo You didn't want to take the initiative to get involved with Luo Yanhuan;

There was also a Biyu Han Tianzi pen on the table, Guo Shao took it off the pen holder, dipped it back and forth on the inkstone, and wrote nonsense on the paper. Some names, some hook-and-loop connections.

Guo Shao didn't want to interfere in the case, but now it seems that Zhou Duan may have fallen, and Zuo You will not be beaten to the end... After all, if you want to use the cabinet to assist the government, Guo Shao must nod.

The twists and turns in it seem to never be clear, and they can't be dealt with anyway. Guo Shao looked at the big picture on the wall, and set his gaze to a wider place, the blank space on the edge of those pictures, and the farther place. He didn't feel that he should be completely entangled by the thorns under his feet.

It always feels a little less imposing to use one's own people as a knife. What Guo Shao misses the most is Xiao Siwen. ..
