Chapter 106: Women Are Fickle
Coming out of Changle Palace, Guo Yi turned around and went to Changqiu Palace, where twelve-year-old Liu Wei was playing hide and seek with the palace maids in the courtyard. Hearing Guo Yi's name, he ran out quickly and asked directly, "Are you Guo Yi?" ”
Guo Yi arched his hand, "Exactly." Wechen has seen the prince. ”
Liu Wei raised a square in his hand and asked, "You made this thing?" ”
What he held in his hand was a Rubik's cube. This is what Guo Yi made for the children of craftsmen to play with when he was a master craftsman. Those craftsmen live a hard life, work for the country all the year round, and most of their children follow the chores, so it is rare to have some leisure, and there are no games to play, and the Rubik's Cube can also add some fun to them.
Guo Yi knew that he could not recover, so he came to ask, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Liu Wei was overjoyed, and hurriedly put the Rubik's Cube in Guo Yi's hand, and said, "Then you teach me how to restore it." ”
Guo Yi took it, but it was completed in ten seconds, and said with a smile: "Among those children, how many can be recovered, why didn't the prince ask them?" ”
Liu Wei was surprised to take the Rubik's Cube and looked left and right, and said absent-mindedly: "The queen mother said that they are inferior people and can't play with me." ”
Liu Wei grew up in the family of a Taoist priest outside the palace, so he was contaminated with a lot of folk habits, and the concept of hierarchy was not particularly strong. ”
"That's right." Guo Yi saw that he hadn't understood yet, so he told him the simple law decision, so that he could spell out at least three sides, and he also had a sense of accomplishment.
Da Changqiu walked over and said respectfully: "Lord Taifu, the queen is invited." ”
It seems that the queen's news is faster than that of Empress Dowager Dong, and she already knows about Guo Yi's transfer.
"Taifu came to visit, and he was not welcomed, but the palace was polite." Empress He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing golden hair accessories, combing high cloud temples, jade face and red lips, and was charming and matchless.
The two haven't seen each other for more than half a year, Guo Yi has a little more vicissitudes, and his complexion is also bronzed, lacking the taste of white-faced Xiaosheng. But Queen He's appearance has not diminished, and her style is better than before.
Guo Yi arched his hand, "Weichen has seen the queen. ”
Empress He smiled slightly, walked up to him in three or two steps, took his hand and helped him up, and said to the left and right: "All stand down." The palace and the Taifu have important matters to discuss, and no one is allowed to disturb them. ”
"No." Da Changqiu retreated left and right, and retreated straight to the courtyard two hundred meters away.
"The queen hasn't seen you for a long time." Guo Yi was not polite, and immediately pulled her into his arms, caressed her buttocks with his left hand, pressed her neck with his right hand, and kissed her.
The two of them were entangled for a long time, and the lipstick stained Guo Yi's mouth red. Guo Yi was about to untie his clothes and develop further, but was gently pushed away by Queen He.
Empress He Yingying said with a smile: "The palace is unwell today, and Taifu is going to be disappointed." ”
"It doesn't matter." Guo Yi didn't care if she was true or not, so he picked her up by the waist, sat on the bed by himself, and let her sit on his lap and lean on his arms. "The queen's country is beautiful and fragrant, which makes it difficult for Wei Chen to help himself."
"It's sweet in your mouth." Empress He smiled with a charming face, looked extremely happy, and said coquettishly: "This time, Taifu will educate the two princes, but it will take a lot of effort. The argument is frivolous, and I hope that Taifu will bear with me. ”
"Don't worry, for the sake of the queen's face, Weichen must be more dedicated." Guo Yi squeezed her hand and asked softly: "Xiliang is hard, so the queen doesn't want to comfort Weichen?" ”
Empress He smiled even sweeter and asked, "Lord Taifu didn't bring a gift to the palace?" ”
Guo Yi sighed and said: "Weichen fought in Xiliang, and he devoted himself to training, except for an elite general, there is nothing else. ”
Hearing this, Queen He's eyes moved, but she put away her smile and said regretfully: "Taifu worked hard, but it's a pity that all the soldiers returned to Liangzhou to assassinate the history, and it was in vain that Taifu's mind was wasted." ”
Guo Yi laughed and said loudly: "Haha, those are just a rabble." ”
"Oh?" Empress He was surprised: "Taifu still has elite soldiers? ”
Guo Yi said with a smile: "The emperor appointed me as the ruling Jinwu, so naturally I want to train elite soldiers to guard the inside and outside of the palace." ”
"Oh." Empress He smiled, the three highest military positions responsible for the defense of Luoyang, such as Jinwu, Lieutenant of the Northern Army, and Captain of the City Gate, have always been supervised by He Jin, although the appointment and dismissal power is in the hands of the emperor, but the actual military power is controlled by He Jin. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty set up the eight captains of Xiyuan in order to divide He Jin's military power and confront him.
To put it simply, although Guo Yi is the ruling Jinwu, he is also subject to He Jin, and his value is not great.
"Holding the two positions of Jinwu and General Wei, there are no real names, and the emperor is quite harsh on Lord Taifu."
It is true that Zhijingo directly commands the troops, but the dispatch power lies with the general. General Wei was nominally the supreme commander of the forbidden army and opened the government to govern affairs. But General Wei is not a permanent position, and the current situation is that the general has the sole power of the army, and General Wei is a bare-bones commander.
Guo Yi's biggest reliance is the position of the crown prince and the prince, as long as the prince ascends the throne, then he is the prince, if the emperor sweeps away his relatives when he is in power, it is a monopoly of power. But in Empress He's view, the emperors of all dynasties swept away their relatives and relied on the power of eunuchs. Guo Yi, the Taifu, may not be able to play a role. Moreover, it is not certain who will ascend the throne now.
For Empress He, Zhao Liu, the eunuch who was not able to protect him, was more effective than Guo Yi at a critical time. The biggest difference between a courtier and a eunuch is that once a courtier gains power, he is in power to the government and the opposition, and the emperor has to look at his face. Eunuchs are simple, and they can be easily abolished with a single sentence.
Guo Yi took in the subtle changes in her attitude, and sighed secretly, although this woman is not very strategic, she still has basic political literacy, knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and knows how to use the power of all parties. smiled and said: "I am eighteen years old, and it is already a great gift from the emperor to have today, and I dare not ask for anything else." ”
Empress He smiled: "Lord Taifu is really a loyal minister. "How does this sound like irony, the loyal minister will hold the queen and chat?
Guo Yi said indifferently: "Wei Chen wants to invite the prince to start reading in class and learn the Analects in two days. ”
"Then don't bother Master Taifu." Empress He naturally stood up, left his embrace, leaned sideways, and motioned for him to leave.
Guo Yi got up and bowed his hand, and said respectfully: "Weichen farewell." ”
came out to see Liu Wei, he was playing the Rubik's Cube in it, Guo Yi bowed his hand to him and left. Outside the Changqiu Palace, he met the people sent by the Empress Dowager Dong.
Guo Yi said: "Please inform the Queen Mother that two days later, the prince will start to learn the Analects." ”
The eunuch asked, "Which book did the prince study?" ”
Guo Yi said: "It's also the Analects." ”
The eunuch nodded, and went back to report.
The corners of Guo Yi's mouth hooked a trace of arc, it seems that he should set off a little storm, otherwise these people are so thoughtful, wouldn't it be in vain?
The power to dispatch the troops of Zhijingo lies with the general, but the general is not. His hundreds of dragoon battalions are still waiting on the outskirts of Luoyang, and they are just recruited as their own soldiers. With soldiers, the rest is all to say.
