In the Jinxiang Hall of the Imperial City of Tokyo, Fu Jinzhan saw two rows of people bowing outside the translucent curtain.

"The ministers congratulate the Great Zhou on opening up the territory, and hope that the Son of Heaven will return to the dynasty with victory......"

Among these people, including the most powerful people in the world, as well as the prime minister, are all people who stand above billions of people. But they can only worship in front of Fu Jinzhan on their heads, and she is just a woman who has lived in the palace for a long time.

At the end of the court, Concubine Du and other women surrounded her and retreated to the back lounge. All the palace ladies lowered their eyebrows and respected her, worshipping her power and dignity. Fu Jinzhan looked around with a shallow smile in her eyes, she enjoyed this pampered life, but she never got carried away.

The experience and insight made her know very well in her heart: the woman is weak, but also strong.

Women are very weak, everything in the world needs men to run around, they can only stay in the courtyard house, attached to all this, most of the women who show up have little strength; Even once the rules collapse when the army is in chaos, how can a weak woman be able to defeat a strong and strong person in armor, and her fate is completely involuntary. But women are not so weak, who wants to bully can be bullied, since the Han Dynasty, there are women who listen to the government and control the fate of the whole country, and there are women in the Tang Dynasty who call the emperor the lord of the world.

Fu Jinzhan walked to a crystal glass jar, and first turned his head to look at the hall, and the palace maids standing next to him all bent down to face her. This hall was originally a house where Guo Shao asked people to clean up and rest and live after daily work, but now the appearance is very different, just because there are more plants in the room.

This hall was cleaned up and tidy, after Fu Jinzhan was active here, he asked someone to bring some irises, beautiful blue flowers, and green leaves, which immediately decorated the palace with rich colors, not only colors, but also added vitality, and felt completely different. In addition to the irises, there is also a glass water tank on the table, which contains a lotus flower with buds waiting to be released, and two small fish. They are all carefully selected and pruned by the gardeners in the palace.

Marigold stretched out her jade-white hand from her sleeve, pinched a few between her fingers to feed the fish, and threw them on the surface of the water with a smile. The surface of the water immediately rippled slightly, and the fish that had sunk to the bottom of the water also swayed.

She turned back to Concubine Du and said, "These things are beautiful but weak. Without the care of the palace maids, he will soon become ugly. ”

Concubine Du hurriedly and cautiously agreed.

Marigold seemed to sigh slightly when she said it, but she was not very sad, because the smile on her face did not disappear. She is still an optimistic person, as long as it does not interfere with the major events of her survival, she is usually in a good mood for the most part, and she has experienced a lot of worries, she is very satisfied with the current situation; This is also one of the reasons why the people in the court not only fear her, but also respect her, I am afraid that no one wants to serve a person with a sad face and may find someone to vent at any time in fear.

Marigold squinted at the water again, perhaps thinking she was looking at the fish. In fact, she was looking at the ripples on the water, just as her heart was rippling at the moment...... Expect.

She didn't expect Guo Shao to come back soon after more than two months of expedition. In these two months, she had to deal with state affairs every day, and there were also days of pampering, which were not boring, but day after day; And now, an expectation broke the peace in her heart, like ripples on the water, and instead made her heart restless.

Fu Jinzhan didn't look at it for a while, then she paced next to a pot of irises, she looked at the delicate blue flower, and for a moment wanted to get closer and smell its fragrance. But she didn't move, because it was too frivolous, and she had to pay attention to her majesty.

At this time, the eunuch Cao Tai walked to the door, glanced inside, bowed down, walked in respectfully, took some paper things and presented them, and said softly: "Yu Niangniang, this is a letter received by the Privy Council, sent back from the military government of the former camp in Hedong, as well as a letter from His Majesty. ”

Fu Jinzhan took it in his hand, looked through it, and took a copy from it and put it in his sleeve pocket. The envelope of this letter is Guo Shao's handwriting, a letter to Fu Ermei. The others were all official documents, she read them carefully, and there was only one letter, so she handed it back to Cao Tai.

"The letter to the queen (Second Sister Fu), I personally handed it to her." Fu Jinzhan said in a calm tone.

Cao Taibai said, "Oh." ”

But she was very disappointed in her heart, after so long, she still didn't get used to Guo Shao only writing letters to Fu Ermei when she was away. She knew the reason, thinking that Guo Shao wrote a large stack of letters to herself when he attacked Shu, but he didn't send any of them back...... She knows everything, but that doesn't keep her from being disappointed.

Even the heart is still very uncomfortable, the kind of uncomfortable sharing a man's heart with other women, only women understand, and Fu Marigold is not exempt from vulgarity...... Even in this world, since ancient times, "gentlemen" have three wives and four concubines, and it seems to be a natural rule for husbands and wives and concubines to have a group of women's morals, and it is also stipulated that women cannot be "jealous"; She also understands that as long as a man is interested in beauty, it is instinctive to want a group of wives and concubines. But it doesn't work, unless she doesn't have a heart.

It's simple. When I think of Guo Shao and his own private affairs, who can stand it like that for others?

There were some things she couldn't help but be forced to accept. She understands that the second sister of Fu, as the eldest son of the Fu family, is of great benefit to the firm position of the Fu family and herself...... Didn't Second Sister Fu single-handedly promote the marriage with Guo Shao? Moreover, as the monarch of the country, if he favors one person, it will not be good for the stability of the country.

Fu Jinzhan is not a woman from a small family, she understands the rules of the noble family and the royal family.

She put her hands on her forehead and paced slowly. Perhaps, women are just more likely to be cranky and think too much.

Fu Marigold is in turmoil, but it is still peaceful, and the irises bloom in a delicate posture in the intricately carved hall.

……

Outside the city of Luzhou, Hedong, it is dusty and noisy.

The army was already approaching Luzhou, Guo Shao wore armor and rode a horse to march along the road in the direction of the city tower in front of him. His neck was full of ash, and his mouth was rustling, like a mouthful of sand after drinking dirty water...... The post road is a loess dirt road, there are many people and horses on the road, and it is difficult to avoid sand flying in the air on a sunny day.

In the blurred vision, I saw a large group of people kneeling down in the distance on the side of the road. Soon I heard people shouting in unison: "The Zhaoyi Army Festival made Murong Yanzhao lead the civil and military forces of Luzhou to welcome Your Majesty!" ”

When Guo Shao and others rode in, they saw the people kneeling in the dust on the side of the road, and the current armor-wearing bearded man was Murong Yanzhao, these martial artists were very deferential at this time, and when they knelt down, they were simply throwing themselves to the ground, and they didn't feel dirty on the ground at all.

"General Murong is flat." Guo Shao shouted.

Everyone shouted in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”

Murong Yanzhao got up and said on the side of the road: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have conquered the Eastern Han Kingdom in one fell swoop and won a complete victory!" The military and civilians of Luzhou are all celebrating! The last general was invited by the people of Luzhou to come to reward the king. ”

Guo Shao said: "The military order given to you by the military government of the former camp is enough to prepare food and grass. ”

"Yes, the last general has been prepared as commanded."

At this moment, Guo Shao saw a large group of people in front of him, so he asked Murong Yanzhao, who followed him: "I have issued an order, and the people shall not be disturbed along the road." With such a big exclusion, the minister had to write a letter to advise the people to delay their farming. ”

Murong Yanzhao hurriedly said: "The people are not summoned by the government, they themselves want to come to see the excitement." ”

He paused, clenched his fists and said: "The last general does not dare to hide it, there are rumors among the people that His Majesty is the reincarnation of the god Dayi, so he came to see the god ......"

Guo Shao was stunned when he heard this. Wang Pu and the others who accompanied him did not say a word. Everyone knows that Yi is the legendary person who shot down nine suns and saved the world from the scorching sun, and he is a positive god. I am afraid that local officials will not be able to stop such rumors among the people.

Guo Shao waited for a while, and found incense lit on the side of the road! And the people worshipped in the direction of the yellow roof on the distant land.

Wang Pu and the others did not speak of the ban. Guo Shao pondered for a while, and then he was relieved, anyway, the people around him knew that he was still human. The soldiers are a little superstitious about themselves, and maybe they can improve their morale...... The pace of war has not yet stopped!

He immediately gave another order: "The army is too large to enter the city, and it is forbidden to enter the city, so tonight they will camp outside the city and repair." ”

The various units stopped one after another, and according to the deployment of the Chinese army, they were stationed in separate camps.

When Guo Shao waited for the Chinese army to set up camp, he sat on his horse and looked at the northeast direction for a long time, which was the direction of Youzhou; The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun is a place that is difficult to let go of for thousands of years, especially for people living in this era, it means too much. Wang Pu and Li Chuyun and other civil and military officials all saw his movements, and the emperor was the object of attention of the people around him at any time.

But take Youzhou, at least not now; The soldiers had just finished the battle, and the men and horses were exhausted; Preparations are not perfect. Guo Shao took a long breath, turned over and jumped off the horse, and threw the reins to the military general Lu Chengyong in front; He did not use a whip, because the black horse on which he sat did not need a whip at all.

Guo Shao looked south again, and there was nothing to see on the horizon, only some villages in sight. But he knew that the Yellow River was already very close.

At this time, the front of the pre-built pontoon bridge on the Yellow River may also be completed. As soon as the army crosses the Yellow River, Tokyo is almost in sight. He seemed to see the prosperity of Tokyo, especially in this season, when the vegetation is lush and vibrant, and the pavilions are between the rivers and rivers, but the population is dense, and the scenery is completely different from the border gates......

The days of beautiful and colorful women in the court, fine clothes and fine food are just around the corner; and the family members who are worried about him going back, Guo Shao really feels like going home at this time, very warm. He was very happy and relaxed for a while, as if his tired body was soaking in a hot spring, soft, and he had put the continuous mental tension behind for the time being.
