Before dawn, Guo Shao was woken up. The palace maid beside the bed was cautious, and specifically emphasized: "Your Majesty told the slave maid last night to wake you up, slave maid ......"

Guo Shao said in a daze: "I remember." ”

In the early summer morning, it was still a little cool. It's very warm in the bed, not to mention that there is a soft wife in his arms, Guo Shao really doesn't want to get up; But if you can't afford it, your heart is not steady, just like you are used to going to work and school, and if you are absent from work by chance, you will have a great sense of guilt.

After a little entanglement, Guo Shao gritted his teeth and sat up first.

"Husband, ......" Second Sister Fu turned over and hugged his legs.

"Before the time, I had to meet with the ministers first, because it would affect the daily work of the ministers." Guo Shao said, "I'll get up first." ”

Second Sister Fu let out an "um", still half-asleep.

Guo Shao's mood at this time was not very good, he thought that a nap would regain his vitality, but in fact, sleeping was not resting. At this point he does everything, and his intuition just maintains a habit and inertia.

He put his palm on Fu Ermei's cheek, looked at her slightly fluttering eyelashes, and liked her face very much. Guo Shao thought again: My wife and children are my own, and everything I work hard to do is also a responsibility that I can't shirk.

He got rid of the mess and got up to wash.

The palace people brought breakfast up, and Wang Zhong, the eunuch on duty, also rushed over. Guo Shao asked him to read the people he had arranged to summon today and the things to be dealt with. Guo Shao's attention has shifted to official business...... In particular, expanding the scale of firearms manufacturing in the workshop area, recruiting craftsmen, and building new cities are important links related to the overall situation. Guo Shao should pay attention to employing people and adjusting money and grain.

Wang Zhong finished reading the words written in the book, waved his hand, and retreated from the palace maids. bowed his head next to Guo Shao and whispered: "Your Majesty, there is a small matter that the slave and maid don't know whether to talk about ...... or not."

Guo Shao glanced sideways slightly and nodded. Since the eunuchs had spoken, of course they decided to say it to the emperor.

Wang Zhong pondered for a moment, as if he was grasping his words, and then whispered: "The slave maid heard a secret report that there was a rumor in the harem, and he said...... Concubine Zhang wetted her body with sesame oil and seduced His Majesty. ”

"Smack!" Guo Shao threw his chopsticks on the table all of a sudden, and his face was pulled down.

Wang Zhong's body trembled, and he hurriedly bent down and stood at his side.

Guo Shao said angrily: "Are those people full of food and have nothing to do!" ”

Wang Zhong hurriedly said: "As long as Your Majesty gives an order, the slave maid will immediately ask the people of the Imperial City Division to secretly investigate who is talking nonsense, and all of them will be arrested and listened to Your Majesty's fate." ”

Guo Shao suddenly realized what the consequences of his anger would bring, he took a deep breath and said, "I don't care about the harem, you first ask Empress Duanci what she means." ”

"Whoa." Wang Zhong said, he thought about it and said, "Your Majesty...... This matter is Concubine Zhang's immorality, and it has nothing to do with His Majesty; As long as His Majesty reprimands Concubine Zhang in public, His Majesty's holy name will not be damaged......"

Guo Shao glanced at him and said in his heart: Wang Zhong's suggestion is actually very normal, and it is indeed the best advice for the emperor. In this world, the general responsibility is also placed on the woman.

……

The matter of sesame oil is already known to the people of the Inner Servant Province!

In the Wanfu Palace, several palace ladies racked their brains and made suggestions in front of Concubine Li. A woman said with a straight face: "If you come up to investigate this matter, when you confront us, we must have the same caliber!" ”

Everyone asked, "What do we say?" ”

The woman said: "Let's just say that the little hoof (the palace maid who stole things) was punished by the Zhang family, and she held a grudge and came to us to tell the informant. The little hooves sowed discord without success, and went out to talk everywhere again! ”

Several people immediately chimed in, saying that it was a good idea.

Concubine Li's fingers tapped twice on the armrest of the chair, and she muttered, "If you really want to confront each other, this matter will be won......"

The crowd listened thoughtfully.

Concubine Li lost her usual composure, and her fingers made some trivial and useless small movements. She let out a long sigh and said, "Whether this matter is a blessing or a curse, it is still unpredictable......," she changed her tone and said softly, "But if you win this time, Zhang's ...... Hmph, don't even think about getting up again! ”

When the women heard this, they became more and more nervous and concerned, and they talked a lot.

Concubine Li stood up, clasped her hands in front of her abdomen, and walked around in front of a picture of a maid on the wall. Perhaps, it is only by moving around that the mind will not stop.

It was indeed her negligence that the news leaked so quickly; Things have come to this point, and the risk of backlash is still there, but the chances of winning are not small.

Concubine Li stood still, turned around and said in a deep voice: "You must remember!" Anyone asked, and said that the palace maid was making trouble and wanted to take revenge on the Zhang family. She said that she was not at ease, and said coldly, "If any of you want to take this responsibility, just talk nonsense!" But no one can run away, and there is no good fruit to eat! ”

"Yes, yes, follow Li Niangniang's will......"

……

Zhang's face was very haggard, and he was often inexplicably angry for a while. Even Wang Shanggong, who was close to her, didn't dare to provoke her, otherwise she would be scolded.

Sometimes Zhang's speech is also very hurtful, and once he got angry and said to Wang Shanggong: If I am unlucky, you can find another way out and run away, naturally it is none of your business!

In fact, there is really no need to say this kind of thing, it is plain and decentive.

Zhang sat in front of the chessboard, trying to kill time according to the chess game as usual, but at this time he couldn't even read a word, he was not in the mood, and he was always distracted...... I have something on my mind, but I don't know what I can do.

Hearing the news from Wang Shanggong, Concubine Li sent the autumn clothes woven by Wanfu Palace for the prince and princess to the concubines in her own name.

Concubine Li's move, Zhang's understanding of it!

Concubine Li's calculations are nothing more than that she thinks that most of the things in the harem are still the queen sisters! The emperor's attitude may be difficult to say; But Guo Shao's women definitely don't have a good impression of those women who compete with them for men.

This move made Zhang feel that it was in danger. Li's scheming is really too sinister!

Not only the attitude of the queen's concubines, but even the attitude of the emperor...... Zhang also realized that it was not so optimistic. She is Taizu's concubine! As long as the emperor weighs the pros and cons, it is the wisest choice to directly push the rumors and infamy on her.

At the thought of the serious consequences, Zhang's hands and feet trembled......

No matter how the crime of confusing the palace is punished, it is the infamy of seducing the younger generations of the royal family, and the spit will drown people! I have been in this palace all my life, there are so many people in it, what is the situation of living with a lifetime of infamy, I feel cold when I think about it.

At this moment, even the Ministry of Internal Affairs knows about it, and the rumors will definitely reach the ears of the emperor and empress. Zhang could only wait for the verdict of fate in fear.

She racked her brains to think of countermeasures, but at this time, Concubine Li had the advantage. Some of Zhang's own advantages are not used at all...... Ordinary network management, she is also relatively sparse, and she is not as good as Concubine Li at all.

Zhang looked at the scene outside the window, and sometimes thought: the result simply came early, so as not to be afraid!
