The ancients generally drank tea after eating and sat for a while. The palace maids collected the dishes, put on the fruit plates, snacks and tea, and Guo Shao continued to accompany Fu Jinzhan to eat and drink, and he was not restrained.

Fu Jinzhan waved his hand and dismissed the irrelevant people, but still asked Cao Tai and Mu Shanggong and a few others to stay; She is also very careful and tries to avoid people thinking that she is alone with Guo Shao.

"What do you think of Wang Pu?" Fu Jinzhan asked.

Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said: "Wang Pu is a civil servant, with great use and little threat, especially his temperament of getting along with others, it is difficult to do anything big alone." However, today's remarks are deeply interesting to the minister. ”

Fu Jinzhan nodded for him to continue.

Guo Shao said: "Wang Pu knows that the minister is a cronie of the Queen Mother, but it is a matter of the state authority and society, and he is not sure to what extent he is a cronie." It seems to be straightforward, but in fact it has at least a few intentions.

The first is to test the Queen Mother's trust in Weichen. The second is to show loyalty, he is showing loyalty to the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Queen Mother. The Empress Dowager was the Empress Dowager of the Zhou Dynasty, and she would never punish him for his loyalty to the court, and this is also true. However, I didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so tough, I guess I was taken aback, and I will be even more impressed by the Queen Mother in the future.

The third is to protect his reputation, if there is any change in the world in the future, he can say that he is very virtuous, at least at the beginning, he is not afraid of the powerful and loyal to the Zhou Dynasty...... After all, the first emperor had the grace of knowing him. ”

"Giggle......" Fu Jinzhan suddenly covered his mouth and bent over with a smile, "Human, that Wang Pu is very attentive, but you saw through it all, and your mind is quite fine." ”

Guo Shao said quietly: "The minister is originally an archer, and the archer must shoot accurately, and it is impossible to achieve the ultimate height with strength and carelessness...... Besides, the minister's heart is not fine, hasn't the Queen Mother felt it yet? ”

Fu Jinzhan blushed on his face, but he suppressed his smile and said seriously: "The last time I was ordered to enter the palace, I really felt that you were very careful about your deployment. ”

Guo Shao said: "More than once? ”

"Don't mention it." Fu Jinzhan's eyes flickered a little, but he didn't dare to look at the attendants next to her, because although those attendants looked away, they actually paid attention to her actions every moment.

She immediately changed the topic and said: "Li Jixun is going to raise troops, since you are a military general, can you have a way to calm down?" ”

"The forbidden army has not been rectified and reorganized, and now the forbidden army is not the best to fight." Guo Shaodao, "Li Jixun must join forces with Li Chongjin in order to strengthen his strength and avoid being broken by various and shaking the morale of the army." The Zhaoyi Army in the middle made Li Yun the key. ”

Fu Jinzhan nodded and said: "You are right, the soldiers under Li Yun's command are also veterans of the battlefield, who have been resisting the Northern Han Dynasty in Hedong for a long time, and there are soldiers who can fight. However, when the first emperor was in power, he said to Li Yun that he would let Li Yun's ** marry Zong Xun in the future. In the future, her daughter will be the queen, and Li Yun will not rebel? ”

Guo Shao said: "Li Yun is a knowledgeable person, and he may not think that the marriage of ** is reliable......" He paused deliberately, hoping that the Queen Mother could guess what he meant from his tone. Five dynasties and ten kingdoms, is it really reliable to marry an emperor at what age?

He continued: "Besides, Wang Rao of the Zhangde Army may also rebel. Wang Rao's third daughter has married Zhao Kuangyin, but because Zhao Kuangyin lost her father and kept filial piety, she didn't have time to marry Wang; Wang Rao was also afraid of being implicated. ”

Fu Jinzhan was thoughtful.

Guo Shao said: "I have an idea. The Queen Mother came forward and asked Li Yun's daughter to marry the Fu family, and Li Yun's marriage with King Wei would definitely be at ease. ”

Fu Jinzhan suddenly laughed: "That's a good idea. The Fu family has both the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty and General Guo who are also in-laws; Li Yun married this daughter is too worthwhile, and he stepped on two boats with one foot. ”..

Guo Shao laughed: "If Li Yun wants to rebel in this way, then he is a person who is too ambitious, and he is in the fire." Wang Rao's third daughter also wants to remarry, and it is best for the Queen Mother to come forward as a matchmaker and order Wang Sanniang to marry ...... Chai Gui is also fine. ”

Fu Jinzhan smiled: "What does it mean to marry Chai Gui?" ”

Guo Shao said: "Wang Rao is old, it is impossible to have much ambition, he just wants to live in peace." Chai Gui is a military general of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army and a relative of the royal family; The Queen Mother asked Zhao Kuangyin's fiancée to remarry Chai Gui, mainly to express her attitude. The matter of the Wang and Zhao families ended here, and they no longer cared about it. ”

"Wonderful!" Fu Jinzhan praised, "General Guo really has some thoughts, not only a military general. As long as Li Yun and Wang Rao do not rebel, Li Jixun and Li Chongjin may hesitate to buy us time for internal rectification; And it will be easier to deal with each of them in the future. ”

"That's exactly it." Guo Shao said indifferently, "War is a continuation of 'politics'. Although I am a military general and can fight, I should also figure out why I fight. The weaker you break down the enemy first, the better the chances of victory when the war is resolved. ”

…… The two of them drank all the tea, and Guo Shao was about to leave. Fu Jinzhan still looks a little reluctant, even if she doesn't talk about private things, she talks about military politics, she also feels very happy to talk with Guo Shao.

Fu Jinzhan was attracted by Guo Shao's wisdom and voice in conversation, and always felt that he was really a unique person in the world, not born into a wealthy family, but his knowledge was much higher than those nobles.

But since he was going to leave, Fu Jinzhan couldn't force him to stay, so he had to ask Cao Tai to send him away.

She then got up and left the Jinxiang Palace, and when she went to the harem, she remembered that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival and thought about going around. Unexpectedly, from time to time, I heard a desolate cry in the palace, and I couldn't help frowning.

Seeing this, Cao Tai said softly: "The first emperor died, and those concubines who had no children could only move to the cold palace, and they were lonely until they were old, so they were sad...... We can't help it, we are all the people of the first emperor, and letting it go will damage the face of the royal family. This should be replaced by the fact that you couldn't live and were martyred, but now it's okay. ”

Cao Tai asked softly again, "Qin Meiren......"

Fu Jinzhan's eyebrows moved slightly, the woman used to be in the bed of the first emperor, and she teased and sarcastically mocked herself; When Fu Jinzhan sent someone to eavesdrop quietly, he heard it. Later, I listened to Cao Tai's report, and she would also say bad things behind her back.

Fu Jinzhan pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it." ”

Cao Tai bent down in response.

Fu Jinzhan muttered again, "Where is Du Meiren?" Cao Tai said: "It seems that in the north palace, I am also waiting to move to the cold palace." The slave family immediately sent someone to find it. ”

"Tell her not to go to the cold palace, live in the Long Live Palace, and be with me. Tell her that I asked Zongxun to recognize her as a stepmother. ”

Cao Tai hurriedly said: "Huh." ”

Du Meiren is the elder sister of Du Chenggui, the commander of the Inner Temple, and their father and brother died while protecting Taizu. The first emperor treated them very kindly, accepted Du Meiren to the palace, and appointed Du Chenggui as the direct military general of the inner hall to guard the palace ban.
