Chapter 277: It doesn't matter if she wants it or not
Fu Jinzhan sat for a long time, leaned over, and put his hands on the armrests on both sides with a flick of the sleeves of his robe. The eunuch standing on the curtain looked at her atmospheric and calm movements, and subconsciously bent down.
She leaned back in her chair relaxed, her eyes narrowed, and a smile tipped into her mouth. What does Guo Shao want to do? She didn't care at all, but felt that she had done a good job.
Wang Pu's words were very ugly, but Fu Jinzhan knew that he had that kind of character, Wang Pu was not good at pleasing people, but he was still talented. At this moment, Fu Jinzhan coughed lightly, and the dispute outside came to an abrupt end, and the three of them saluted together.
Fu Jinzhan was very satisfied when he saw this, and said coldly: "Wang Envoy, the mourning family has something to ask you. β
Wang Pu said: "The ministers are listening. β
Talking to such a person, Fu Jinzhan asked directly: "My Great Zhou court wants to be balanced and stable, and the king has come up with a strategy." The whole situation must withstand scrutiny and be truly stable. β
Wang Pu: "......"
Fu Jinzhan saw that he was also asked, and asked again: "Then do you think General Guo's loyalty is reliable?" He's going to rebel?! β
What does Ren Wangpu say, he likes to expose people's shortcomings, he dares to expose this matter, and Fu Jinzhan really obeys him.
Wang Pu hurriedly said: "The minister didn't say that General Guo's loyalty is unreliable, but ......"
"But what?" Fu Jinzhan's tone was aggressive, "The mourning family doesn't put trustworthy people around, but puts people who may plot the lives of the mourning family and the emperor at any time in the inner guard!" Do you want to learn from Wang Jun during the Taizu period? β
Wang Pu suddenly knelt on the ground and said busily: "Queen Mother, Wang Jun is a martial artist, and he is also a privy envoy, a prime minister, and a festival envoy, and his power is monstrous, and the minister has no ability." β
Fu Jinzhan sneered: "Then what do you think of Guo Shao's advances?" β
Wang Pu said: "But it's up to the Queen Mother to decide." β
Wei Renpu hurriedly said: "General Guo has the merit of supporting the establishment and loyalty, and he is a relative of the Queen Mother, so I ask the Queen Mother to preside over the front of the palace with General Guo!" β
At this moment, Guo Shao said: "The Queen Mother is angry, you have misunderstood the meaning of the king's envoy. The meaning of the king's words is only to know the interests and disadvantages, and he does not object, and how to make a decision has to obey the queen mother's will. The king's envoy is a great loyal minister, and he only states the fact that the power of the minister will increase; If you have too much power, you will easily have ambitions, just like Zhao Kuangyin...... But the minister is by no means Zhao Kuangyin, and the minister will always be loyal to the queen mother. β
Outside, Wang Pu glanced at Guo Shao slightly, as if he was grateful.
"Flat." Fu Jinzhan said softly.
Wang Pu silently wiped his sweat and said, "Please resign from the position of privy envoy...... He had been a privy envoy for a short time, and he had no talent to hold this important position. β
Fu Jinzhan was still a little angry, no longer spoke politely, and said coldly: "The privy envoy is doing it, are you afraid?" β
Wang Pu lowered his hand and said, "Thank you for the Empress Dowager." β
Fu Jinzhan said dryly: "There is one more thing, the mourning family thinks that Li Jixun must rise up to rebel!" β
Wang Pu immediately said: "What the Queen Mother said is extremely true, and the ministers also have this judgment. β
Fu Jinzhan said: "Therefore, the imperial court must drastically rectify the forbidden army and restore stability and vitality as soon as possible, otherwise the rebellion in one place cannot be quelled quickly, and the world will be in chaos." This is urgent! Who will clean up the scene, and how will you live in Tokyo? β
Wang Pu took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, unfolded it as a rough map, bent down and raised it above his head, and waited for Cao Tai to come out to pick it up. He said: "Weichen and Vice Envoy Wei have been thinking about this matter for the past few days, and they are about to play, but the Queen Mother has already been alert. β
He waited for the picture to be presented, and then said: "Li Jixun stepped down as the commander of the guards and infantry troops the year before last, and went out of the town of Heyang Sancheng Jiedu envoy (now the northern area of Luoyang City), governing the three prefectures of Meng, Huai, and Ze, and there are not many elite soldiers in other towns, but Li Jixun has a large territory, a lot of people and a lot of money, and his strength should not be underestimated. β
Li Jixun led a large number of elite troops in the Battle of Huainan, but was calculated and defeated by Chai Kehong, a famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and was impeached by many people. However, Chai Rong was very kind to him, and although he was transferred from the forbidden army, he appointed him as the marshal of the three cities of Heyang, and his status did not decline but rose.
Wang Pu continued: "Li Jixun has no soldiers under him who are very capable of fighting, so it is foolish to attack Tokyo directly to the east. In the opinion of the ministers, he raised troops to protect himself, and he must have instigated Li Chongjin in Hedong to retreat and support Li Chongjin as a response to the north and south.
However, between Li Chongjin and Li Jixun, there was Li Yun from the Luzhou Zhaoyi Army, and they must try to pull Li Yun into the gang, and the 'Three Lis' raised troops together from Hedong and Heyang. It should also win over the Zhangde Army of Xiangzhou, Hebei Province, and make Wang Rao ...... The four of them raised troops together from Heyang to Hebei, forming a joint encirclement of Tokyo, which was very tricky.
Among them, Li Yun and Wang Rao have a very good personal relationship, as long as one is wooed, the two will definitely fight together. During the period of Liu Zhiyuan of the Han Dynasty, Wang Rao, Li Yun and Bai Zairong launched a mutiny together, cut off the Khitan wings, and surrendered to Liu Zhiyuan, and the relationship was long-standing and mutual trust......"
Fu Jinzhan also secretly admired Wang Pu after hearing this, this person not only has insight, but also has a clear understanding of all kinds of people inside and outside. For example, the relationship between Li Yun and Wang Rao, Fu Jinzhan heard of it for the first time.
β¦β¦ Guo Shao didn't say much, Wang Pu said everything, he didn't have to speak.
Li Jixun may raise troops, he also pondered, but he was not sure whether he had the courage or not, Wang Pu and Fu Jinzhan were sure, which made him believe in this matter. Li Jixun is also one of the "Ten Brothers of the Righteous Society", the ten brothers ran away with Zhao Kuangyin and other four people, and the rest except Li Jixun was killed...... Li Jixun is not so scared that he can't sleep at this time? Taking risks and fighting hard is the practice of the generals of this era.
After discussing for a while, they were all talking about military affairs, and they really didn't mention the broken things in the Southern Tang Kingdom. In the hearts of Fu Jinzhan and the important ministers, the threat of the Southern Tang Kingdom was not as good as the threat of Li Jixun, the envoy of the Heyang Festival.
Guo Shao naturally didn't mention it.
It didn't take long for Fu Jinzhan in the curtain to say: "The mourning family is a little tired, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so that's it...... The second sister is not in Tokyo, General Guo is my brother-in-law, you go to the apse of the Jinxiang Hall at noon to accompany the mourning family to eat. β
Guo Shao hurriedly bowed and said: "The minister obeys Yi's order." β
By noon, in a gorgeous dining room in the apse, there was a large table of delicacies on the table in front of Guo Shao, and only two people ate it. But it doesn't seem to be wasted, if you can't finish eating, you can reward the eunuchs and palace maids to eat, they don't dislike it, but they take pride in eating the leftovers of the superiors, and they don't want to eat until a certain status.
There are many palace maids who specialize in serving and dining, and there are precious calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and the environment is very quiet and quiet. As soon as Guo Shao came in, he felt that this place was very high-end, at least more upscale than a modern five-star hotel. He also heard Qingxu say that the dishes of the court were delicious, and he was ready to enjoy a meal at the moment.
After a while, I saw Fu Jinzhan come in, and she also changed into a light red Luo skirt that fitted, with a smile on her face, her mood had improved, and she was no longer as cold as at the beginning.
"The minister has seen the Queen Mother, thank the Queen Mother for the banquet." Guo Shao bowed his hand.
Fu Jinzhan smiled and nodded, and walked over with a gentle lotus step.
In such a high-end environment, Guo Shao also felt that he was personable for a while, as if he had become an elegant person.
He walked over to the top of the chair, removed the chair, and leaned on the back of it. Fu Jinzhan was slightly stunned, sat down, and Guo Shao let go and returned to his place to take a seat. At this time, another palace maid rushed in and served more hot dishes.
"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, will there be a dinner party in the palace to admire the moon at night?" Guo Shao said slowly.
Fu Jinzhan had a graceful bearing, looked at Guo Shao with casual eyes from time to time, and said softly: "Although the national funeral has passed, it has not been long. The mourning family was not interested in that lively place, so they just got by. β
"Also, the festival is just a festive mood, and if the mood is like this, the festival is not very interesting." Guo Shao also said seriously. There were many palace maids and eunuchs standing around, and he was very attentive in his speech and demeanor.
It was the first time he went to the palace to dine, and it was such a high-end environment, and he was slightly nervous.
Fu Jinzhan was very casual, she didn't say anything, and the palace maid sandwiched the dishes from all over the place into the small white porcelain bowl in front of her. Guo Shao paid attention to the observation, she seemed to like the kind of light-colored crystal and good-looking sweets...... But Guo Shao likes to eat all kinds of braised pork.
Fu Jinzhan gradually showed a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Li Yu and his wife from the Southern Tang Kingdom have fled to Tokyo, do you know?" β
"The minister has heard of it." Guo Shao's face was slightly hot. He didn't feel a little ashamed when he remembered that he was sorry for Fu Jinzhan last night.
Fu Jinzhan covered her mouth and laughed: "Emperor Zhou E is very beautiful...... This is delivered to the door. β
"The minister has a word." Guo Shaodao said lightly, "Emperor Zhou E, the concubine of the Southern Tang Dynasty lord and the royal family, is marrying, but he wants her to be a military general's concubine, she is afraid that she is unwilling." β
Fu Jinzhan pursed her lips: "Do you care if she is willing or not?" β
"Wouldn't it be ......a pity if the sadness was too short," Guo Shao muttered.
Fu Jinzhan raised his eyebrows and said softly: "You don't really understand women, women can live better than men." Only men think about how to die, and women want to live. β
Guo Shao listened thoughtfully, and praised: "The Queen Mother said casually, and it is deeply reasonable. β
"Don't compliment me, I'm your sister." Fu Jinzhan looked at his face and smiled, "Isn't it? β
Guo Shao's expression changed even more, and it was not easy to restrain him, and he did not lose his temper. He picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of brown meat of unknown color, ate it, and swallowed it before saying, "I don't know what spices are used, but it burns very fragrant!" β
"Then eat more, you're welcome." Fu Jinzhan smiled.
Guo Shao said again: "I still don't want to force Emperor Zhou E to stay, please ask the Queen Mother to agree." β
Fu Jinzhan smiled: "You say that I seem to force you." β
Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said: "I heard that Li Hongji staged a coup d'Γ©tat in the Southern Tang Kingdom, poisoned his uncle, and led troops to rush into the palace to force his father and seize the position of the lord of the country, it seems that he is a ruthless person. Then Li Yu was a literati, and in the long run, it might be more beneficial to the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Southern Tang Kingdom has the Yangtze River moat, and if we can pay tribute every year, we had better not attack the Southern Tang Kingdom first. β
Fu Jinzhan said: "Let's eat first." β
