Chapter 254: Absurd Cry

It was three days before the mourning began. When one person dies, billions of sentient beings in the world will be subscribed.

All singing, dancing, banquets, and weddings are forbidden for a period of one month; Tokyo's civil and military officials mourned for three days, and the harem mourned for one month. Although many edicts still did not conform to the etiquette system, this practice was a common rule in successive dynasties, and reducing the time of state mourning was conducive to restoring the normal order of the dynasty.

Within three days of the Son of Heaven's death, Fu Jinzhan did some subtle things. The army of the former division of the palace was redeployed; All 20,000 people in the left wing of the Hujie Army were mobilized, and they withdrew from the imperial city and were stationed in two battalions, east and west, and only two commanders controlled Xihuamen and Donghuamen respectively. Guo Shaojia is also the "patrol inside and outside the imperial city"; The Zhen'an Jiedu envoy who was still in Hedong deployed to Xunjia and the former camp of Hedong and Hebei.

Then the edict was issued, and the four-year-old Chai Zongxun was immediately proclaimed and succeeded to the throne and granted amnesty to the world......

In front of the coffin of the first emperor, the monk who brought the deceased from the Great Xiangguo Temple had stopped chanting, but the crying and mourning of the concubine still echoed in the main hall of Susu. The civil and military officials wore linen and filial piety, and all of them knelt down under His Royal Highness.

On the dragon chair sat a small child, staring at the people below with innocent eyes and from a very high position. Seeing this, the nurse and the eunuch next to them left the side of the throne as if they were fleeing, how could they dare to be bowed down by so many strong people? Not even suspicion.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live...... the shouts that shook the wide hall were full of momentum, echoing between the large pillars of vermilion and white cloth, and the sound reached into the sky.

This is a violent country, and every ceremony shows its power.

But after leaning less, there was a "wow......" sound, and the child's cry seemed to have been stabbed in the heart of the violent machine! It was as if a dark cloud immediately enveloped the main hall, and soon the place became silent.

"Nurse, I want a nurse...... "The child cried in front of at least a hundred civil and military generals of the ruling class of the country, and the milky voice made this sad and solemn place very strange and absurd.

Wang Pu, the prime minister lying in front, straightened up and said loudly: "The edict of the first emperor is to let the queen mother supervise the regent of the country, where is the queen mother now?" ”

The eunuch Yang Shiliang said on the side: "The queen mother was overly sad, fainted several times, and was resting behind the palace. ”

Wang Pu turned around and shouted: "At the moment of the big event, the ministers and others ask the Queen Mother to distinguish the importance and hurry up to come forward as regent." The ministers shouted together: "Please regent the Queen Mother!" ”

At this moment, I saw a group of white-clothed women coming out of the door behind the side of the main hall and kneeling at the door. Leaning less, I saw a curvaceous woman with a vegetarian body slowly walking out, and her front was covered with a black veil. But many people have seen Fu Marigold, and they have dimly recognized her as her.

"Queen Mother...... Please ask the Queen Mother to preside over the overall situation...... "The ministers bowed down one after another.

Fu Marigold is noble, graceful, and atmospheric, even if the whole body is vegetarian, it has its own bearing. She also saw the big scene, and ignored the ministers, and made them kneel like this. She naturally walked up to the throne, stretched out her hand and said, "Xun'er, the queen mother is here." ”

A large group of people listened with bated breath, as if they were reverently watching a play of mother's kindness and filial piety.

Chai Zongxun suddenly stopped crying, and jumped down from the dragon chair with open arms, "Queen Mother, I'm afraid." ”

Fu Jinzhan hugged him, touched his head and said softly: "Don't be afraid, although your father died, there are still many loyal ministers and loyal ministers in the world, and they will all assist you to continue the national fortune and let you firmly guard the Great Zhou for your father." Those rebellious ministers and thieves, and those with ill intentions have to ask themselves how many catties and taels there are, and they dare not move easily. ”

Chai Zongxun couldn't understand her words at all, but he believed that the people below could understand it. It can be seen from the way they dare not come out.

Prime Minister Wang Pu hurriedly said: "The first emperor died, the queen mother was in charge of the country, and now all the industries are waiting to be raised, and the ministers have the courage to ask the queen mother regent to preside over the overall situation, and don't delay the big thing with sadness." ”

Fu Jinzhan helped Chai Zongxun to sit down on the dragon chair, and his voice was quiet: "My son (Chai Zongxun) is young, you ask me to temporarily act as the government, if you can listen to me, otherwise it will be difficult for me to coordinate with the ministers." ”

Wang Pu said: "The ministers are only the queen mother, who resists the queen mother's decree and who is disloyal to the queen mother, is disobedient to the new monarch and disloyal to the new monarch!" Ladies and gentlemen, who disobey the Queen Mother's decree, now stand up and say right and wrong! ”

Everyone shouted: "The Queen Mother is regent, and the world does not dare to disobey." ”

Fu Jinzhan listened and looked down at the ministers kneeling at his feet, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. A few days ago, he was still a prisoner, and the poison in the hollow hairpin still had no time to throw away, and he had to wait helplessly to die in despair! But now, the strongest men who rule the country are on their knees at her feet, trembling at her words!

When she looked at them one by one, her eyes were pierced through a layer of black veil, and the body of the person being looked at was lowered...... seems to think that the queen mother can see through whether they are loyal or traitorous in their hearts.

But Fu Jinzhan's brows gradually furrowed, and after observing again, he really didn't see Guo Shao. Why wasn't he on such an occasion?

Fu Jinzhan had just risen in high spirits, as if he had fallen to the bottom all of a sudden. A wave of panic gradually came to my heart, there was no Guo Shao! There are so many people who support her in power, but there is no Guo Shao!

She turned her head to look at the eunuch Cao Tai. Cao Tai's attention was always on the Queen Mother, who had already reached the top of power, and a slight movement made him immediately bend over and walk forward. His waist was bent very low, and his posture was extremely respectful, after all, in front of so many ministers, even Cao Tai was a little scared.

He came over with his ear, and Fu Jinzhan whispered without anyone in his eyes: "What about Guo Shao?" ”

Cao Tai said in Fu Jinzhan's ear in a very low voice: "I went out of the imperial city early in the morning, and Yi Zhi asked him to withdraw the main force of the left wing of the Hujie army from the imperial city in order to ease the situation. ”

Fu Jinzhan said: I told him to withdraw the army, not to tell him not to come to the court meeting. She was immediately very disappointed.

Don't look at these strongmen trembling one by one, but no one can guarantee what they are thinking in their stomachs, or what they will think when they have the opportunity. In this world where martial arts are in power, strong people inside and outside look around, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a situation of internal worries and external difficulties; Fu Jinzhan does not think that she can completely balance by means of a woman by herself, no matter how clever the means, when the warriors pick up swords and guns under some kind of opportunity (such as foreign invasion), all the principles and rules will be paper-paste!

Fu Jinzhan is not stupid enough to think that his authority and wisdom alone can make the world lay down their arms.

There is only one person, and he will never hurt her. That's Brother Shao.

Fu Jinzhan's mood was depressed all of a sudden, that person was not there, she had no sense of security at all, and her heart was completely empty...... For many years without Brother Shao'er, she still came over, but I don't know when she started, she became dependent. He doesn't need to do anything, as long as he can see it, he can feel at ease, very strange thoughts.

The ministers still knelt down to listen to the answer, and Fu Jinzhan had to say softly: "Since you have asked, the mourning family will reluctantly handle the government affairs on behalf of my son temporarily, and I hope that the ministers will assist my son wholeheartedly." During the state funeral, all government offices still have to perform their duties......" Her bearing and domineering tone suddenly eclipsed, and this sentence was said without force.

She said a few more dignified words, and quickly got up and hurried out of the main hall.

As for the apse, Cao Tai stepped forward and persuaded: "The queen mother still has to listen to the advice of the ministers, don't be too sad, and you will rest your body, the emperor (Zongxun) can't do it without the queen mother......"

Fu Jinzhan was a little panicked, and immediately ordered: "You go and change all the eunuchs at all gates of the imperial city...... The mourning family named you the head of the Great Internal Supervision Army. Let Wang Zhong go, but that Wang Jien, do you know what to do? ”

Cao Tai hurriedly said: "The slave understands, Empress Dowager Xie gave the seal." ”

What she was doing now was completely improvised, and she had previously felt that it was not necessary. Fu Jinzhan gradually became a little angry again: "You go, ask Guo Shao, why do all the ministers worship and support me, but he doesn't come alone?" ”

…… It was not until noon that Cao Tai returned to the Jinxiang Hall to see Fu Jinzhan. After he entered the house, Mu Shang Gong and the other women stood far away at the door. Cao Tai bowed down and said, "I saw General Guo." ”

Fu Jinzhan looked sideways and asked, "What did he say?" ”

Cao Tai said: "General Guo said that the Queen Mother's approach in the past few days is very clever. praised the Empress Dowager for considering Xiang Xun for the deployment of the former battalions in Hedong and Hebei, which not only paved the way for the unstable military power of other towns, but also did not easily move Li Chongjin and Han Lingkun, and the fire was just right. General Guo said that in terms of the layout of governance, he was not as far away as the Queen Mother, and did not dare to point fingers at the administration; Coupled with the instability of the country, he has to avoid suspicion and dare not enter and leave the palace at will, which is easy to be criticized. ”

"That's it?" Fu Jinzhan frowned.

Cao Tai said again: "Also, General Guo said that he is just a military general, and the most important thing is to do his duty and help the Queen Mother in the army." Tokyo is temporarily stable, but there are still hidden dangers in the forbidden army, and Zhao Kuangyin's forces need to be completely eliminated from the forbidden army first, and he is now trying to find a way to do this. ”

Fu Jinzhan asked impatiently: "I asked you to ask him, why didn't you come to the court today?" Didn't you ask? ”

Cao Tai's waist bent lower, and the Queen Mother's mood was not very good today, so he hurriedly said: "I asked, General Guo thinks that the matter on that occasion is logical, and the Queen Mother doesn't need him." ”

"That's it?" Fu Jinzhan looked uneasy.

Cao Tai whispered: "The slave family thinks that the Queen Mother doesn't have to worry about General Guo's loyalty, he didn't come, not because he didn't support you." ”

It's nonsense! Fu Jinzhan really couldn't imagine that Brother Shao, who had always been her confidant, would not support him, and his own governance would only benefit him and not harm him at all. What she was unhappy about was that Brother Shao looked very indifferent after the event.

Fu Jinzhan sometimes has a wider heart than ordinary women, but her heart is still small and delicate, and she can feel the slightest abnormality. She just felt that Guo Shao's attitude had changed, and she didn't need any high-sounding reasons, if she changed, she had changed.

Thinking that a few days ago, the army had just entered the imperial city, everything had just begun, everything was still urgent, and he was still willing to spend time saying so many irrelevant things to her. In the palace room behind the Jinxiang Palace, the two of them made a secret discussion, pouring out their mutual trust and longing...... The fiery eyes, "In this world, your place in my heart is greater than everything, including my parents......

And now that the big thing is settled, he quietly stays away.
