Guo Shao said: "Of course, marigold is different from other women, and it cannot be compared. ”

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

Guo Shao was stunned and found that she was still looking at herself with a smile, expecting to answer. Guo Shao thought that there was no need to say this kind of thing, especially for a wise person like Fu Jinzhan, if she was not the most trusted person in her heart, would he hand over the domestic military and political power to her when he was in charge? Moreover, this palace is full of her people inside and outside, and Guo Shao didn't want to move at all.

But she is still a woman, maybe she just wants to hear what Guo Shao says.

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, his gaze swept over her graceful figure covered by soft clothes, and his tone softened a lot: "Kindness and trust, no matter what happens, cannot be changed...... But that's not all. ”

"Don't worry about kindness." Fu Jinzhan said softly, "You just know that I'm good to you." ”

Guo Shao nodded without hesitation.

Fu Jinzhan raised his head and looked at the end of the open line of sight, his eyes were glowing with the afternoon sun, and his eyes gradually became a little blurred. She muttered: "The Fu family doesn't need me for any role anymore, I am also superfluous to the royal family, I only have you ......"

Guo Shao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and when he saw that Marigold wanted to speak and stopped talking, he pondered for a moment and said, "I think the merit of recovering the sixteen states of Youyun will not be too long. As long as the great deeds of this dynasty are laid, I will have a way to make the name of Marigold right. ”

Fu Jinzhan turned his head to look at him: "Didn't you say that the Liao Kingdom was difficult to defeat?" ”

Guo Shaozheng said: "The combat strength of the forbidden army in the battle of the Northern Han Dynasty exceeded expectations, and we underestimated the ability of the Great Zhou army in the past, especially in attacking the city...... I have carefully considered it repeatedly, it is not impossible to defeat the Liao army in Youyun, as long as you capture Youzhou City in time, and then defeat the Liao army is very big. ”

Fu Jinzhan hurriedly persuaded: "Since the (later) Jin Dynasty, the strength of the Liao State has been stronger than that of China (Central Plains Dynasty), you must not be in a hurry. ”

Guo Shao frowned and said, "I can't take it." ”

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

Guo Shao exhaled: "Not only for the marigold, but for more reasons." Today's rules of power lack checks and balances and are extremely unstable, but also to maximize combat effectiveness; This situation can't last too long, and a new system is needed, but if the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun don't take it back for a day, we won't dare to weaken our force for a day, otherwise we won't be reconciled.

And I couldn't control my heart myself, and that thought was surging in my heart, and it was difficult to restrain it. How should I describe it...... The powerful Great Zhou Army, under my control, is like the extension of my hands and feet, the extension of strength; The man couldn't resist the thirst for power...... I can't help but want to verify it! ”

Fu Jinzhan gently advised: "It is better to consult with the minister more, and then listen to the trade-offs of others." ”

"That's nature." Guo Shao nodded, eased his breath again, and said softly, "Marigold has never been superfluous to me, whether it was difficult in the past, or now it is getting smoother and smoother, I will never forget my original intention, everything I worked hard to get, how much meaning does it mean to share it without someone close to me who cares about it?" ”

Fu Jinzhan pursed her soft and smooth lips after hearing this, and was speechless.

……

After the banquet of 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 the Xihua Gate, and some people went to the Xuande Gate in the south.

Qin Guogong Mengchang took Mrs. Hua Rui to Donghua Gate, and was also ready to return home.

Meng Chang walked halfway, suddenly looked back at the majestic Jin Xiangdian and sighed: "I thought that the Northern Han Kingdom was a powerful country (in the past, the relationship between Shu and the Central Plains was tense, and the first thing was to contact the Northern Han Kingdom to echo in the north and contain the military strength of the Central Plains), but the capital was captured in half a month. When the Shu Kingdom was destroyed, we could only accept our fate......"

After a while, Meng Chang said casually: "By the way, the palace maid Xiaohe we brought from Shu is going to marry someone and come to beg me for mercy, and I have promised her." ”

"Little lotus...... She didn't tell me either. Madame Blossom spoke. She was familiar with the palace maid, who had just arrived in Tokyo to make a difficult living, and had not yet bought so many slaves and maids, and there were few people around her. Xiaohe is the palace maid who was infected with Hualiu disease by Mengchang, and Mrs. Hua Rui still remembers that incident.

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

Madame Blossom asked softly, "Marry whom?" ”

Meng Chang said: "It's Fu Er who runs errands in the front yard to buy things." ”

Madame Hua Rui suddenly frowned and said, "That person is lazy and greedy for small profits, if it weren't for the face of the eunuch Wei Zhong, I would have wanted to send him away...... What's so good, why did Xiaohe marry him? ”

Meng Chang smiled disapprovingly: "What kind of famous lady do you think Xiaohe is, or what?" It's good that Fu Er is willing to marry her, just like him, he has a little family background, and he can still get money from the Qin Mansion every month, and he can't marry a daughter-in-law? ”

Lady Hua Rui was silent, but she had to admit in her heart that Meng Chang was telling the truth.

Because she decided not to look down on people like Fu Er, she was a little sympathetic to Xiaohe for a while, and there was a kind of sadness like a rabbit dying and a fox; His original background is no different from Xiaohe, it is nothing more than that he is more beautiful. Mrs. Blossom thought again that she would not end up like Xiaohe, and she always had status now.

At this moment, I saw a tall woman in a purple robe hurrying after her.

"Jing Niang!" Madame Blossom called softly, and her face changed from a look of solitude to a very affectionate expression.

Jing Niang walked over, hugged her fists and said, "Meet Qin Guogong and Mrs. Hua Rui." ”

Meng Chang hurriedly said: "No need to be polite, no need to be polite." ”

According to respect and humility, Mengchang's status as a prince is a very high title, so Jing Niang has to salute...... But the strength and weakness of the essence are very obvious, and Jingniang is a close confidant of the emperor.

Jing Niang's face was cold, but Mrs. Hua Rui looked at her with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

"I heard that you are also coming to the banquet today, so I will send you off after I disperse." Jing Niang Road.

Mrs. Hua Rui said softly: "Sister Jing Niang, what else is polite...... But I haven't seen you for months, and I really want to see you and talk. ”

Madame Hua Rui knew Jing Niang, this woman seemed to be extremely difficult to get close to, but she was a person with clear grievances, and she always remembered the help she had helped back then.

"Madame, if you have any business, you don't need to see me." Jing Niang said lightly.

Madame Hua Rui said: "Oh, I am about to leave the imperial city, and I only see you now." Let's find a place to talk, or we'll meet and we'll have to separate. ”

Jing Niang was noncommittal, and looked sideways at Mengchang. Mrs. Hua Rui said: "Ah Lang will go back to the house first, and Jing Niang will send me back in a while." ”

Meng Chang's face was a little embarrassed, he was very wary of this palace, because Guo Shao lived here, this kind of thinking was probably a man's instinct. Mrs. Flower has not been close to Mengchang since she arrived in Tokyo, but she feels that Mengchang still regards herself as his person, after all, the name is still there.

Madame Blossom gave 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 without embarrassment: "You are all women, I can't stay longer, so I will leave first." ”

After Mengchang left, Jing Niang looked back left and right, this is the front office area of the imperial city, and there are many yamen officials around, which is really inconvenient. Mrs. Hua Rui saw it in her eyes and said, "Where does Jing Niang live?" ”

"Xuanyou Men Nei......" Jing Niang said, paused and said, "You come with me." ”

The two of them walked for a long time one after the other, this imperial city is very large, and ordinary people can't ride horses and cars, most of them are on foot. Fortunately, with Jing Niang, the two of them walked unhindered, and no one stopped them.
