Chapter 260: Listen to the government
Three days after the state funeral, Tokyo officials removed their mourning clothes and put on official robes to restore order; There is no need to hold a funeral in the market, but happy events, banquets, singing and dancing are still prohibited for a month.
The Queen Mother and the Little Emperor also wore mourning clothes for a month. After the rain, the sunshine sprinkled into the Jinxiang Palace, and Fu Jinzhan came to the side hall next to the main hall. Today is not the day of the Great Dynasty, so there is no need to go to the court, just listen to the government. (It was agreed that the first and fifteenth days of each month would still meet, and the civil and military officials would also be able to see the new monarch on such days.) )
The chair where Fu Jinzhan sat down, Taizu and the first emperor had sat here for a long time, racking their brains day after day; Now change to a softer cushion and change to a seat. The national affairs handled by the two generations of emperors back then were awe-inspiring, and Fu Jinzhan was also a little nervous here.
There are also many officials in front of the palace, mainly the officials who take turns on duty in the government hall and the Hanlin Academy...... The Jinxiang Hall did not belong to the harem in the first place, and it was a place where many court officials went upright. Here they are to serve as advisors to the rulers, to write holy decrees, and so on. So a curtain was drawn in front of the area where Fu Jinzhan was active, separating it from the officials of the bearded eyebrows, to show the difference between men and women. This is to listen to the government, and the queen mothers of the Eastern Han Dynasty did it.
However, after reading more than a dozen chapters in one breath, Fu Jinzhan felt that this matter was originally very easy, and suddenly he didn't understand why the previous emperors looked sad and made a great appearance?
Soon Fu Jinzhan was no longer nervous, and it was very easy to handle. She has a good memory, almost recalls, and a quick mind. Pick up the article at a glance and ten lines, very casual, like reading an idle book, and you can quickly understand the main content of a thing; Generally, I read 20 copies at a time, and then I can remember what I have read, and I can compare the weight of it.
Gradually, she became more relaxed, because she could see at a glance what the music was trying to say, so from time to time she slowed down to look at the literary style, calligraphy or something, and wandered.
Some officials have read a few more books, so they have to hang their book bags, quote scriptures with long nonsense, and if they can talk nonsense, they can just say something real; Some of them wrote a lot of things about ancient sages, and then they only said a little bit of their own words, which annoyed Fu Jinzhan very much...... She couldn't help but imagine what kind of person the official who wrote these articles was, he must be a sloppy, sour and smelly pedantic old man!
There are also people who are also full of nonsense, but the writing is elegant, the writing is catchy, and it is quite comfortable to read...... Like Jia Yi of the Han Dynasty, he can really write his articles in a literary style, no matter what the content is, it is still very beautiful.
Fu Jinzhan frowned at times, smiled slightly, and every expression made the eunuchs serving beside him admire. Such a fairy-like woman in this majestic room suddenly made the whole world seem to have a little more colorful colors.
There was a large pile of concertos on the table, and Fu Jinzhan had read most of it in half a day. She also wandered away and did some trivial things during this period.
"Alas......" Fu Jinzhan exhaled gently, stretched unscrupulously, and turned back, "It's really tiring." ”
Cao Tai and the others were dumbfounded, looking at her achievements in the morning, and bent over in admiration.
At this time, she picked up the red pen, took a piece of white paper and wrote a line of words, turned her head to look, and pointed to the white fat eunuch Wang Zhong: "Wang Zhong, you take all the piles you put here to the political affairs hall, and ask the prime ministers to deal with them at their discretion, and you don't need to ask me again." ”
Wang Zhong looked flattered, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yes, yes...... The slave family strictly obeys the decree of the Queen Mother. ”
"Are you scared?" Fu Jinzhan looked at him with a smile.
Wang Zhong hurriedly said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the slave family is not afraid, but respectful." ”
Fu Jinzhan smiled and said: "Even if you have a little good, I remember it in my heart, don't be afraid." ”
Wang Zhong knelt on the ground: "The Queen Mother is benevolent and wise!" ”
She waved her sleeve slightly, pointed to another small part and said, "Put these separately, I'll reply in person in the afternoon...... Here is the will written by the officials for me, Yang Shiliang, you take the jade seal to stamp it and take it outside. ”
"Whoa." Yang Shiliang also hurriedly bowed.
"What time is it?" Fu Jinzhan asked.
Cao Tai replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, the clock has not yet struck noon, and it should be almost noon to see the position of the sun." ”
"I'll go to the apse for dinner, and then I'll go back to the Banzai Hall for a nap." Fu Jinzhan said, "Cao Tai, go and ask someone to get ready." ”
She got up from her chair and said to the outside of the curtain, "Ministers, you can go back to lunch, and come back in the afternoon." ”
Soon everyone's voices came from outside: "Wait for the Empress Dowager." ”
Since meeting General Guo a few days ago, Fu Jinzhan's face is ruddy and smooth, her complexion is very good, and her person is more gentle. She had eaten a lot at noon, and was really hungry; She worked hard for half a day in the morning, although she didn't find it difficult, but it was tiring to watch the recital for a long time. Nowadays, people go to bed early and get up early, and get up before dawn in the morning, and the morning hours are the longest.
After lunch, Fu Jinzhan took a sedan chair into the Xuanyou Gate in front of the hug. When I got to the palace gate, I saw the soldiers outside and the eunuchs and palace maids kneeling along the road. Fu Jinzhan sat on the sedan chair covered by the curtain and ignored them, anyway, they would not continue to kneel stupidly after passing by.
She was thinking with her eyes closed.
In this world, the so-called national affairs handled in the temple are of limited importance...... At that time, Taizu and the first emperor did not focus on governance, and paid more attention to the candidates for ministers in the court. At this time, the most important thing is military!
There is no emperor in the "Ten Kingdoms" of the world who does not put the military in the first place. That thing can destroy the country at every turn, and the threat of external enemies and internal arrogant soldiers are the factors that can most threaten the rule...... Even if the government is abandoned, it will take at least ten years to accumulate and it will be difficult to return? But it will not take ten years to destroy the country by military violence, and it may take a few months; It is clear which is more important and what is urgent.
At present, the biggest problem facing Fu Jinzhan is also the army's continuity of the past and the future.
The undertaking of civil officials and government affairs is very easy and smooth, from the prime minister to the officials of the various government offices, who is in charge of the government and listens to whom, they have long been accustomed to the change of people at the top, who is still full of food and support to care about who is the emperor? But the transformation of the forbidden army and local towns is very tricky.
According to the experience of Taizu and the first emperor in succeeding to the throne, it is generally necessary to re-reward the foreign towns on a large scale and directly issue an edict to move the town. As long as the town is moved, it shows that it is loyal to the new monarch, and disobedience is to disrupt the party, and the troops are dispatched to destroy it (the Fu family has moved the town several times). But Fu Jinzhan didn't have control over the forbidden army now, and he didn't dare to do that...... Therefore, there will be a period of time that will remain stable according to the previous pattern.
At present, Fu Jinzhan needs to come step by step, and the first thing to do is to clear Zhao Kuangyin's power in the Iron Cavalry, otherwise the Iron Cavalry, the most elite man, will not be reliable.
She can't disband the Iron Cavalry, so she must first figure out who is close to Zhao Kuangyin...... It is easy to check the generals at the level, and everyone in the forbidden army knows about the affairs between the generals; The point is that those below the command envoy are not easy to figure out.
Fu Jinzhan thought about it for a long time, and finally coincided with Guo Shao's original idea of dealing with Li Chongjin's power in the Guards Division.
The group of people had already arrived at the foot of the steps of the Long Live Palace, Fu Jinzhan came down from the sedan chair with a palace woman's hand, and then slowly walked up the stone steps, and suddenly turned around. Everyone immediately stopped and stood in the middle of the road. She waved her hand, and everyone hurriedly retreated for a distance, and she said again, "Cao Tai, come here." ”
"Queen Mother." Cao Tai hurriedly stepped forward and stood next to Fu Jinzhan with the dust in his arms.
Fu Jinzhan whispered: "You take my warrant in a while and go to the Privy Council to find Wang Pu." Tell him to bring the old files of the Privy Council to the Privy Council...... I will tell him not to take my name, but only by the orders of the Privy Council. ”
Cao Tai hurriedly said: "Huh." ”
With that, she quickly entered one of the dormitories of the Banzai Temple. It is a complex of buildings with many palaces; Fu Jinzhan asked the little emperor to live in the main palace of the original Taizu and the first emperor, and he chose a palace room on the edge of the main hall to live. The Zide Hall where Fu Jinzhan lived before was far away from the harem; And the Long Live Hall is very close to the Xuanyou Gate and the front of the Imperial City, which is convenient for her to go out to manage the government, so she moved the place.
The palace houses here are larger and grander than the palaces of the harem, but they are less flowery and beautifully decorated, and they appear more monotonous.
Fu Jinzhan sat on a collapse for a while, looking at the empty dormitory, feeling very bored and tired, and immediately said: "I want to bathe and change clothes!" ”
"The slave family immediately asked someone to prepare for the Queen Mother." Mu Shanggong hurriedly responded. There is no surprise at all, the Queen Mother wants to bathe and change clothes in the morning or noon, or even in the middle of the night, it is a matter of course, and she should be satisfied immediately.
Fu had discovered one of the good things about the emperor's bedroom, which was that the bathroom was larger and more luxurious, and that was the only thing she was happy about. The emperors are not afraid of waste, and Fu Jinzhan now does not have to stay in a small bathtub like before, but in a pool!
Dozens of cauldrons boil water for one person at the same time, and then fill the pool with warm water, like an artificial hot spring. During this period, boiling water will be added at the right time according to experience to keep it warm.
The room was white and warm. Fu Jinzhan lay on the cushion by the pool, and instructed the palace maid who bathed her: "Rub your waist." I knew I wasn't in a hurry, but after sitting for too long, my waist was sore. ”
The skin of the palace maid's fingers is very smooth, but it is very powerful. Fu Jinzhan enjoyed it very much, and her face was red as if she was asleep.
She was back to her old life, and every time it was the most enjoyable time, she could relax completely, or be groggy and lazy, or let her thoughts drift into those dreams of good anticipation...... People can only see what others do and hear what is said, but who knows what she thinks?
