The sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra on the main hall was faintly heard, and the performance over there should be replaced by the dance of the dancing girls. There are a lot of people in the Zide Hall today, in addition to the main hall full of guests, there are also many eunuchs and palace maids in this dormitory. But in the depths of this curtain, no one disturbed. The windows were closed, the curtains were lowered, and the light in the dormitory dimmed, and the sunlight shone through the edges of the purple curtains, like the sun hiding in the dark clouds.

There were only the two of them in the palace, but the sound outside still made them a little nervous, and they spoke very quietly.

Fu Jinzhan said: "I'm not like Mrs. Hua Rui and Emperor Zhou E, who can sing and dance well, and I'm ...... older than you."

Guo Shao's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he said with a smile: "Then I'll teach Marigold to dance." ”

Fu Jinzhan couldn't help laughing: "You can dance? ”

"Really." Guo Shao said seriously, "It's still two people jumping." It's not as ornamental as those dancing girls, but it's about participation, but you don't have to sit and watch. ”

So Guo Shao stepped forward, reached out to wrap his arms around Fu Jinzhan's waist, grabbed her hand with the other hand, and said, "That hand, feel free to put it on my shoulder." ”

Fu Jinzhan said: "They are all hugging each other, is this called dancing?" ”

Guo Shao unhurriedly taught her ballroom dancing, which was the only one he could dance, and he had learned it in college before. At that time, it was not easy to learn, and I stepped on my dance partner countless times.

But what surprised him was that after telling Fu Jinzhan the pace, she only said it once, and she remembered it, although it was rusty at first. With the rhythm of the song outside, the two gradually became acquiesc...... Fu Jinzhan is indeed smarter than people in later generations, at least Guo Shao feels that he can't catch up with her.

After a while, Fu Jinzhan said softly: "You are like this, how can we dance?" ”

Guo Shao said: "I can't help it. ”

Fu Jinzhan said: "Then your hands are still moving." ”

Guo Shao didn't stop, his fingers gently stroked along her back, and said in a deep voice: "It's so beautiful." ”

This ballroom dance is something born for ambiguity, so close that you can even smell the smell of marigold's hair, and you don't believe that you will have no idea when dancing. He came closer, freed his hand, gently stroked her sideburns with the back of his fingers, and whispered with his lips almost against her ear: "Between the green silk and the skin, it is the most delicate." Your ears are like jade......"

Fu Jinzhan's breathing was a little heavy: "What else?" ”

Guo Shao said: "I still like your shoulders, with slender bones, plump skin, straight shoulders and back, and a round shape. ”

Fu Jinzhan moved her head away from Guo Shao's shoulder, her beautiful eyes sparkled, she stretched out her onion-like fingers, put them on Guo Shao's mouth, looked shy, and said softly: "Don't jump yet, learn later." Let's go over another thing. ”

…… Fu Jinzhan woke up in a daze, turned his head to look at the light of the window curtain, and judged that he had taken a nap for a while, and he didn't dare to sleep here, the longer he stayed, the easier it was to show his feet, but he was too tired just now and lay down. She reached out and touched the sheet next to her, it was already empty, and it seemed to still carry the residual warmth of Guo Shao's body.

Fu Jinzhan was defenseless, and an inexplicable sadness surged up in his heart.

The sound of music outside, blocked by several walls, still wafted throughout, but the spacious and ornate dormitory still seemed empty.

She remembered that the first time she was with Guo Shao was in the Fu family's idle mansion, but they spent the night, but they didn't have a bed to sleep in, and they separated before dawn. After that, I lingered with Guo Shao a few times, all of which were to find a place to hide and get close to each other in a hurry.

Fu Jinzhan suddenly thought about one thing at this time, An Ansheng woke up, and there was a person lying next to her, a man she trusted, Shao Ge'er.

She was stunned for a moment, not daring to linger too long, so she got up and took out the corset and small coat from the clothes next to her.

……

Early the next morning, everything was normal in the Imperial City. Guo Shao met with several important people in the military and government in the side hall on the east side of the Jinxiang Hall to discuss and arrange some important matters. He sat on a chair in the upper position, and the ministers were also sitting, and this scene was similar to the previous duty in the front of the palace, and the habit could not be changed at once.

Guo Shao told the recent events and turned his head to look at the privy envoy Wang Pu, whose expression seemed to have something to say.

Wang Pu looked up and saw Guo Shao looking at him, pondered for a moment, and said with his fists clenched: "Your Majesty, have you thought about the year name?" ”

Guo Shaoxin said: When I first ascended the throne, I mentioned that there was no satisfactory result, and then I put it on hold, after all, it is only April, and the year name will be used the following year, so there is no need to be in such a hurry...... But why did Wang Pu have to mention it?

If someone else asked this, Guo Shao wouldn't think much about it. But Wang Pu has always been good at scheming and has a lot of thoughts, and he will never say useless words on such occasions.

Fu Jinzhan's honorific title was not thought up by Guo Shao, the kind that can be decided by the minister; However, the era name is generally decided by the emperor himself, which not only has the role of "Feng Zhengshuo", but also expresses some of the emperor's conceptual direction of national governance to a certain extent. (For example, the name of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom has the concept of pursuing peace and suppressing martial arts.) ）

Guo Shao thought about it and understood what Wang Pu meant...... The functions of the central court and the official office in front of the palace are different, not only to deal with daily affairs, but also to plan the long-term strategy of the country. That's what Wang Pu meant, I want to ask Guo Shao what his plans are, but it's not easy to ask directly.

Since ascending the throne for a month, Guo Shao has thought about this issue many times.

Now in this situation, the change of regime is relatively stable, and the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty has occupied most of the core areas of the Great Unification Dynasty, and the main directions are nothing more than two: is it to protect the development of imperial power? It is still necessary to continue to work hard and build a greater cause...... Recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun from the Liao State?

Guo Shao promoted some of his political ideas and ambitions when he was a military general, and wrote about his desire to recover rivers and mountains in military music; But he was not formalized at the imperial court.

Perhaps, from the perspective of one's own interests, if he has already sat on the throne, then the security of his own throne and the throne of future generations is greater than all interests. In order to protect the imperial power of the Guo family, there is no doubt that restricting military generals is a right way, because since the end of the Tang Dynasty (five dynasties), there have been several dynasties, and the main root cause is that after the death of the founding emperor, the prestige of the descendants is insufficient, and they cannot control the internal military generals at all, so they are replaced...... The previous dynasties had no choice, and the external military threat was too great; Now that the Great Zhou is dominant in the Central Plains, the external threat is small.

Guo Shao thought that he was only twenty-four years old and was not satisfied with this; But he didn't want the previous pattern to continue, he was looking for a way...... After being silent for a while, he didn't answer directly, but said: "It has always been my dream to recover the rivers and mountains, restore the prestige and glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and achieve the foundation of the empire. I will not do you any harm in the future. ”

When he said this, everyone turned their heads to look at his face, and several people looked at him with excitement in their eyes.
