In the depths of the courtyard, the faint sound of the piano could be heard. Guo Shao listened attentively, but he didn't understand the sound. After staying in the Daimyo's Mansion for a while, it's time to return to Beijing these days.

He put the brush on the inkstone, opened the burden again, stretched out his rough palm, and gently stroked the purple robe, his index finger gently stroking the stitches of the stitches. There are as many needles as there are thoughts......

A shy smile seemed to appear in front of him, and his gaze was like a warm hand, brushing his heart. It seemed that I heard the soothing voice in my ears again: I personally let my husband eat and clothe me warmly, and I am a woman.

He didn't dare to wear this dress for the time being, it was sewn by marigold, and the people in the Fu family might be able to recognize it.

Marigold, why is it so good to me?

Guo Shao stood up and paced back and forth in the room. There was a couplet hanging on the wall at the door, and he glanced at it, but he didn't understand what it meant. However, he thought of another couplet in his heart: The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article.

Marigold must not be allowed to be seized upon by the people. These things are very important, and no one usually dares to accuse them in person, but sometimes if they are questioned, they can't refute it, which is quite hurtful and very serious. At this time, it is still the way of the clan, and what it feels like to be attacked by people with morality, Guo Shao can roughly imagine.

In the past, when Yulian still lived in Longjinfang, she was told that she walked with her head down, and she was in a state of inferiority and dare not see people for a long time, which can be seen.

Maybe no matter what you do, there is also a wild history whispering. But if there is no real evidence, it will be much better to refute it with a righteous and bright reason.

Guo Shao stood for a while, then sat down again.

He reached out and picked up the chess pieces and put a few grains on the chessboard, all of which were fixed numbers on the chess game...... Everything is ready, and the game is going to be done step by step.

Thinking of this, Guo Shao took a deep breath and wrote a private letter. When Cao Tai came to face the saint, he asked Cao Tai to bring it over.

In the future, if you want to be lucky with concubines other than the second sister, let Marigold agree first...... Back then, she arranged for Guo Shao and her second sister to get married. Nowadays, it is unrealistic to be a sole favor and loyalty, and only in this way can the position of Marigold in his heart be highlighted.

Guo Shao made some preparations and ordered to return to Beijing. left two officials of the Imperial Medical Department to continue to recuperate for Fu Yanqing. At the same time, Guo Shao can also directly ask the imperial doctor about the Wei Palace, because the imperial doctor is a Beijing official.

At this time, the Great Xu Dynasty had two institutions similar to intelligence spy organizations, one was the Imperial City Division, and the other was the Privy Council Bing Cao Division. But neither agency has little surveillance of the ministers within; It is mainly aimed at external countries and frontier feudal generals...... Because Wang Pu, Zuo You and other confidant ministers unanimously believed that this would cause greater suspicion and centrifugation among the monarchs and ministers. Guo Shao followed the advice.

……

Lu Chuncai's rebellion against Mrs. Fu has been known to the world after a burst of boiling rumors and repeated tosses. Passers-by know that Mrs. Fu is the queen who is seen through by the immortals, and whoever wants to marry her wants to be the emperor...... For example, the son of Li Shouzhen back then, and the Lu family this year.

When Wang Pu heard that the emperor's guard of honor had left the Daimyo Mansion and returned to Beijing, he immediately summoned Li Xin, the envoy of the guest province, and instructed Li Xin to write a letter to persuade the emperor to marry Mrs. Fu as the queen.

Li Xin felt frightened again, because Mrs. Fu was the queen of the previous dynasty and had also been the queen mother, if the book was not correct, she was very likely to be blamed for slandering the reputation of the emperor and the queen of the previous dynasty!

Moreover, the queen of today is originally the daughter of the Fu family, what is the use of marrying the daughter of the Fu family? Even if Mrs. Fu is beautiful, she is also a woman in her early thirties, and there are no beauties who want anything today, so if you have to ask for trouble, why don't you quickly clear up the relationship?

This statement is simply unreasonable.

Wang Pu saw Li Xin's doubts, and said quietly: "You just have to go to the book, rest assured, you will never be wrong!" ”

Li Xin was hesitant.

Wang Pu said: "The old man looks at people and never looks away, not to mention that when he was still an ordinary general, the old man has been in contact with today." The last time I asked you to go to the book, there was a mistake, and now you are a founder of the country! ”

Li Xin said: "Wang Zhijun is right...... But the lower officials thought that even if it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the rumors spread by the Zhao family in the past, he would not want to marry the daughter of the Fu family again? ”

"You know!" Wang Pu was annoyed, "That Mai Taoist is rumored to be so godlike that even an apprentice can be called a half-immortal and a Fuyaozi, what is the difference between a master and an immortal?" The saints worship God and stay away, but such things are rather believed than not! Now Mrs. Fu has no identity, her identity is only the daughter of King Wei, and now according to the will of God, let her be the queen, why not? ”

"That's, that'...... The lower officials are stupid. Li Xin's brows were about to wrinkle together.

…… Unexpectedly, Guo Shao just returned to the palace, and on the same day in the Jinxiang Palace, Lu Duoxun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, wrote a book, saying that the emperor should marry Mrs. Fu as the queen. For a time, civil and military officials looked sideways.

Guo Shao refused on the spot, and said solemnly on the throne: "Today's queen is the wife of my last wife, both virtuous and virtuous, and there is nothing immoral in the world, and the eldest son of the emperor, Guo Hong, can be abolished for no reason?" ”

The ministers who didn't know the truth couldn't help but nod their heads, especially the civil officials, who felt that the emperor was really satisfied with his observance of etiquette.

Unexpectedly, Li Xin, the envoy of the guest province, immediately risked his death to play, thinking that the mandate of heaven could not be violated, and the eldest lady Fu had the appearance of a queen and should comply with the will of heaven.

For a while, there was a dispute in the hall, and some people said that the saint was silent and strange to God, the queen is good today, and there is the eldest son, there is no reason to change the queen because of the face of the Mai Taoist, otherwise it may cause turmoil in the ceremonial court.

Some people still say the same thing, and feel that it should be in accordance with the will of God. The generals also took the opportunity to find a sense of existence and show their right to speak. Most of the generals supported Mrs. Fu as the queen...... Because the soldiers of the forbidden army love Marigold very much, they feel that she treats the soldiers benevolently and compassionately, and she is happy to continue to be the queen.

Shi Yan shouted loudly in support of Mrs. Fu: "The queen of Taizu in the previous dynasty was also widowed, Taizu did not dislike it, and later even the queen was not sealed!" What's wrong with Mrs. Fu? The eldest lady can't be a mother in the world, and no woman in this day can be a mother in the world! ”

A civil official accused: "General Shi thinks that the current queen can't be the mother of the world? ”

Shi Yanchao said: "You dog official! will only be sharp, Lao Tzu will tear your mouth! It's not easy, just do it after the second year. ”

Li Chuyun was the head of the generals, and immediately scolded: "General Shi, this is the Jinxiang Palace, you must speak in a measured manner." ”

But the generals were secretly cool, and they couldn't get used to Shi Yanchao, but when they heard Shi Yanchao scolding the civil officials, they felt that he was also beneficial.

The civil official said: "Shi Yanchao, you actually insulted the imperial court officials in the palace!" ”

Shi Yanchao said: "What if I scolded you? You are an official of the imperial court, and I am still a general of His Majesty! ”

The civil official said: "You ignorant martial artist, the country has the rules of the second queen?" ”

Shi Yanchao sneered: "There are no two kings in the country, and this handsome recognizes." But the first queen is still the second queen, and the rules are also set by His Majesty! Today is the founding monarch of the Great Xu Dynasty, the etiquette system of the Great Xu Dynasty, why should the previous dynasty be copied? ”

At this time, the eunuch Wang Zhong stood up and said, "Your Majesty has issued an order to tell you to stop arguing. Something to start, nothing to retreat! ”

The crowd had nothing to say, and saluted and thanked them.

Guo Shao only said that the current queen has not lost her morality and cannot be abolished. But the attitude towards Marigold is noncommittal.

In the early morning of the next day, the important ministers of the east hall of the Jinxiang Hall met to discuss the matter, and brought it out again. Because Guo Shao didn't express his position, he didn't fight for the result again.

Li Chuyun left the imperial city and returned to the Gongfu, his brother Li Liangshi asked to see him, and when he heard about the eldest lady of the Fu family, he asked: "Do you really want to establish a second queen today?" ”

Li Chuyun said: "It is still not decided. ”

The good man then asked, "What does the lord say?" ”

Li Chuyun said: "I didn't say anything. ”

The good man patted his thigh and said, "How can the lord be silent about such a thing?" It doesn't matter what the second queen is, but why are the two queens members of the Fu family? After the concubines were established side by side, it was already a great favor to make the daughter of the Fu family a concubine! ”

Li Chuyun said: "The generals all support Mrs. Fu, and I am inconvenient to advocate it." ”

Liangshi shook his head and said: "This matter is very important, after the two sisters of the Fu family are separated, the weight of the relatives is all the Fu family...... Alas! In the past, the lord held the power of the forbidden army, but now he is only for the country, and he can fight! ”

Li Chuyun pondered for a moment and said: "But Zuo You has already expressed his opinion, opposing the separation of the Fu family's brother-in-law, and thinking that it is more conducive to national orthodoxy to restore the ancient rites as before. ”

Liangshi said: "Zuo Yu ......"

Li Chuyun said: "Zuo You is a civil official, but he has always been a confidant today, and in terms of rhetoric, he speaks more effectively than me. What's more, if I echo each other with him, I am afraid that people will criticize the civil and military parties. ”

The good man sighed.

Li Chuyun said in a deep voice: "The second queen is just an appearance, and the current queen has no effect. Last time I was in the apse of Jinxiang Palace, I was summoned by the concubine (Yuan'er), and the concubine told me that the queen could not control the harem, and everything in the harem was very chaotic at this time. is a big lady who is not an idle woman, she was the queen mother back then, and even the forbidden army can be in charge......

However, last time, when Mrs. Fu still had the title of Empress Duanci, the court made a fuss about whether she should govern for a while, and Fan Zhen was dismissed. At that time, His Majesty was benevolent and calmed the situation, but ...... Thinking about it now, it's also a little scary. ”

Li Chuyun was silent for a moment, stroked his thick beard, and said in a low voice: "The king is strong and the ministers are weak, if the ministers are too obsessed with power, there will be great trouble!" ”

Li Chuyun really didn't want to take the slightest risk for a higher position, he just wanted to keep everything he had now...... The founding generals, hereditary replacements, and relatives of the emperor will only take three generations at most, and the Li family will become a stable aristocratic family and a family of military generals! After a hundred years of this generation of monarchs and ministers, the Li family will be the prominent nobles of the Great Xu Dynasty in the future!

It is not a dream for the aristocracy and the royal family to share the world.

He pondered for a long time, slapped the table and said, "I will go to the book tomorrow to support the official family to establish the eldest lady of the Fu family!" ”

Liangshi was stunned and looked at Li Chuyun with incredible eyes.

Li Chuyun looked like a bamboo in his chest, and said slowly: "Competing for status with the Fu family is the spirit of a small family. Keeping the status of our princes is the long-term concern! In the future, the nobles of military merit will definitely be grateful for this prince......"
