After the morning discussion, it was still not dawn. Guo Shao sent Cao Tai to invite Fu Jinzhan and he decided to meet her in the outer court.

A group of officials in the outer hall of the study have already sat in front of the desk and buried their heads in writing, they are always very busy and serious, but Guo Shao always feels that these people who are responsible for transmitting government decrees and liaising with various yamen and central relations should not be so busy, otherwise they will not want to be on duty every day when they first arrive.

Inside is the study and the offices of several cabinet ministers, and Guo Shao often reads the recitals here. However, no one has paid attention to the concerts of the past two days, and they are stacked on the imperial case covered with yellow satin, and only Huang Binglian is classifying these concerts, and Zuo You only returned to Beijing yesterday, and he was still talking to Guo Shao in the archive room just now.

Guo Shao walked into a hall at the back, found a place to sit down, and waited for some files to read.

After a long time, a eunuch bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Empress Duanci has arrived." ”

Guo Shao stood up, and saw Fu Jinzhan wearing a phoenix crown and a robe coming in from the north hall gate, and the two saluted each other. Fu Jinzhan waved his hand lightly, and the group of women wearing purple round necks who followed in quietly avoided it.

The two sat down next to a few cases, and the palace maid came up with tea. Guo Shao asked casually and politely: "Is the imperial sister-in-law okay for a while?" ”

Fu Jinzhan spit out softly: "Two months passed very slowly. ”

Her words were decently and lightly, but not the usual clichés. Guo Shao felt a little special, and thought slightly: The slow passage is because of waiting and expectation. When he was waiting for someone just now, he felt that time was slow.

Guo Shao couldn't help but look at her expression, and sure enough, Fu Jinzhan's eyes flickered a little at this time, and he looked a little embarrassed...... She is a generous and dignified person herself. With a gentle word, Guo Shao's heart felt like a ripple at this time.

There are some simple words that he is easy to ignore; Or suddenly remember it to remember. Guo Shao remembered for a moment what Li Yuan'er said last night: The country belongs to His Majesty, but His Majesty has a successor.

Li Yuan'er did not modestly say that his son-in-law should be the heir, but that sentence did not make Guo Shao feel any discomfort at that time, on the contrary, it was very pleasant. He pondered, an emperor's country is indeed a prince's ...... But there is a premise, when he is dead, others can't think about it while he is alive.

"Your Majesty." Fu Jinzhan's voice came to his ears.

Guo Shao looked up at her and said the words he had thought about before: "I have a plan to clean up the side hall on the west side, and the imperial sister-in-law will help deal with state affairs in the west hall." It happens that the government hall is on the west side, and the Privy Council is on the east side. ”

Fu Jinzhan was surprised: "Your Majesty has returned to Beijing, you are a righteous son of heaven, and you are in the prime of life." Is it inappropriate for me to interfere with the government as a woman? ”

Guo Shaodao: "Since the Xuanren Dynasty, the imperial sister-in-law has been in the dynasty twice, the ministers are convinced, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the imperial sister-in-law is virtuous and talented. Now that the war between the Quartet is still raging, I need you. ”

Fu Jinzhan groaned and did not answer.

Guo Shao said that this was not a whim, he thought about it repeatedly. First of all, he has always had a wish, wanting to wait for himself to get ahead and compensate Marigold in return, she has too much kindness to her, and she treats herself like a sister...... Now Guo Shao has even done it as an emperor, and he can be regarded as getting ahead, but he always feels that he can't give Marigold anything. The original plan was to recover the sixteen states of Youyun to establish a great cause, and then give her a name, so that she could share all this justifiably, but now that Youzhou has not been laid, I don't know what year and month it will be.

Power was something very important to the ladies of the court. Guo Shao wants to give her power, she has real power, whether it is the officials of the foreign dynasty or the harem, she must sing the praises of virtue, at least she dare not take her to be angry...... Because the fate and future are in the hands of those in power.

Secondly, it is also about sharing the fruits. Guo Shao can be called the emperor, and the marigold plays a key role; Now that he has the world, he says that the world is all his own, and Marigold stays in the harem as the queen of the former dynasty?

Guo Shao sighed slightly, turned his head and quietly observed that there were no palace maids and eunuchs around, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect the Northern Expedition to be such a result. ”

Fu Jinzhan's bright gaze brushed over his face, and he said, "I was originally worried about Brother Shao'er, but I am very relieved to hear what you have done since you came back. ”

Guo Shao listened silently.

Fu Jinzhan was silent for a moment, and said softly: "I'm fine now, you don't have to care." You and the ministers have given me the honorific title, I already have a place in the palace, you trust me so much, and the second sister is the queen. There's nothing bad about me right now. ”

She said that she had a smile on her face, her eyes were crooked when she smiled, her full and round forehead, white and smooth skin, she looked very beautiful. As well as her words and intentions, Guo Shao unconsciously brightened his heart, as if he was surrounded by sunshine.

At this time, a ray of morning sun from the east window sprinkled into the hall, Guo Shao looked back at the bright light, and said, "I'm afraid that even if you are a wicked person, you will be addicted to the scenery at this time?" ”

He came back to his senses and said, "I'm glad that Marigold comforted me. ”

Fu Jinzhan muttered: "I am also fortunate to have Brother Shao'er, you are ......"

Guo Shao didn't hear the following, so he looked at her and waited for the second half of the sentence. Fu Jinzhan's face was crimson, she pursed her smooth red lips, and said in a trembling voice: "You are my dependence." ”

……

The imperial court soon agreed to posthumously crown Luo Mengzi as the Duke of Yanguo, grant the mother and wife of the Luo family as Mrs. Xuan, and choose a place in Tokyo to build the Duke of Yanguo Mansion for the Luo family.

Yang Ye was summoned by the emperor and rewarded him for his merit in capturing the son of the rebel general, and also gave him a mansion in Tokyo, a reward of gold, silver, a saddle and other things.

Many ministers were present when the reward was awarded, and Guo Shao retreated to the study and summoned Yang Ye alone.

The monarch and the minister talked very happily about some art of war. But Guo Shao really wanted him to mention the matter of folding the German wall here, but it was a pity that Yang Ye never mentioned it.

It's been such a long time, Guo Shao calculated, if Li Yun had been in contact with Zhe Deran, Zhe Deyan should have gone to Tokyo a long time ago if he wanted to go to the book...... But the fact is that not only did he not come to Tokyo in person, but he did not even read a book.

Guo Shao couldn't help but think again: It is possible that Li Yun did not contact Zhe Deran. But Yang Ye, as the son-in-law of the Zhi family, should definitely contact the Zhi family in this kind of major matter.

Guo Shao was talking and laughing with Yang Ye while pondering about it. Yang Ye came to Tokyo by himself, and pretended not to know what it meant?

"General Yang has quite an opinion on the strategy of marching and arranging, well......" Guo Shao praised, and he was speechless, and groaned.

Yang Ye also reflexively waited for the second half of the sentence.

But Guo Shao didn't say it, and said in his heart, why did he seem to be less savvy in political communication?

Guo Shao didn't say anything for a while, and Yang Ye hurriedly said: "Weichen doesn't dare to get an axe." ”

Guo Shao gave up, anyway, he didn't dare to touch Yang Ye at this time...... Unless you want to immediately make the Northwest Jingjing Army a mess due to fear and worry. Guo Shao didn't plan to give up on wooing and trusting Yang Ye immediately, after all, the Yang family would make a deep impression on him; The Hedong Army also needs a commander of Yang Ye's identity to maintain its combat effectiveness.

And Guo Shao thinks from a different angle, a general with military talent is not very shrewd about the court officialdom, which may also be a good thing.

Guo Shao immediately said: "Hedong military affairs are important, I will leave General Yang in Tokyo soon, and I will not forget your loyalty to the imperial court." ”

Yang Ye bowed and said: "The ministers should live up to Your Majesty's trust and prudently guard the Hedong Pass." ”

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "You go back to Hedong to rectify military affairs first, and after a while, the imperial court will deploy a new strategy for using troops, and General Yang can come to Tokyo to discuss major matters." ”

Yang Ye was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”

Guo Shao saw that he didn't care much, so he quietly helped him up and gave him a few kind words.
