The eunuch Cao Tai waited in the Xihuamen and arrived at Wang Pu, went up to greet him, said a few nonsense, and gently reminded him: Why didn’t Prime Minister Wang stand up and recommend someone in the Western Expedition?Wang Pu also asked inadvertently: Who are you recommending?
Cao Tai threw the whisk to his arms, freed up his hand and said: You are the prime minister, of course you recommend whoever you want.
The two bid farewell after a moment. From a distance, it was like two acquaintances met by chance in the imperial city and just greeted and socialized a few words.
Wang Pu was confused for a moment.
At first, I thought that the eunuch Cao Tai was asking for personal favors for the queen or a nobleman, but I was thinking that it would be difficult to do if I gave a mediocre talent to the back door. The Western Expedition to Shu Army was a big deal. How could I use military and national affairs as a joke for favors?
Besides, even if he wants to be a joke, it is not enough. Wang Pu, the Privy Council, has the final say. Even if everyone in the Privy Council says it is OK, you must not nod such a major matter?
But the eunuch said that you would recommend whoever you want.Wang Pu suddenly became confused.
Since it is according to my opinion, why are the eunuchs saying this?
However, Wang Pu was only in his thirties and was not dull yet. He quickly understood the key point of the eunuch's words: their meaning is not to recommend whom, but who will recommend... Only by looking at this way can eunuchs need to say the two sentences just now.
Wang Pu thought to himself: I will recommend someone.According to my opinion, Xiang Xun is good and takes the overall situation into consideration.
Thinking of this, Wang Pu suddenly realized that the mystery is here!
Among the military generals, Xiang Xun and Wang Pu were the closest to him, and he was most praised; if Wang Pu came to recommend someone, he would almost certainly recommend Xiang Xun... And Xiang Xun might ask for someone from the Privy Council and ask Guo Shao, the chief minister of the inner palace!
Others don’t know that because Wang Pu had some contact with the queen’s people, he happened to pay attention to some of the queen’s small actions outside the palace, such as rewarding the Fu family in a villa in Tokyo to a general: Guo Shao, the man in the inner palace.
This military general happened to be recommended by Wang Pu in front of the official family, and he has an impression.
The two sides gathered together to think about it, and it turns out that the eunuch Cao Tai was here to walk through the back door today!The person I want to help most is Guo Shao.
But this favor was really cleverly arranged. No one said who it was, but everything was arranged... It was definitely the queen's intention. Wang Pu didn't think that the eunuch Cao Tai had this intention.
A smile appeared on Wang Pu's face, feeling that it was a favor that went with the flow and there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
...Then Cao Tai returned to the palace and slipped into the queen's palace.
He was exactly the same as usual, without any unusual things, because he had always been walking in front of the queen. Everyone in the palace knew that this old eunuch had long since defected to the queen, which was really normal.
The queen met concubines, female officials, and eunuchs in a main hall to listen to reports on all matters in the harem.The queen looked absent-minded, but everyone dared not be absent-minded, and they were all serious.
Cao Tai didn't care what those people were saying at all, and walked straight up the steps if no one else was around.
He leaned down in front of the couch and whispered to Fu's ear: I have already met Prime Minister Wang.I met the eunuch Wang Jinzhong at Xihuamen again. Wang Jinzhong said that there was a Taoist temple next to Daxiangguo Temple. The Taoist temple owner Jingniang and Guo Shao had close contacts, and it seemed that they would get married.Jing Niang was suspected to be the sister of Zhao Kuangyin, the capital in front of the palace, but the servant thought that maybe it was not, even Zhao Kuangyin would not recognize her, otherwise how could he fall into this place?
He made it clear in a few words, and said it as important as possible, and usually added some of his own opinions to make the queen worry.
This eunuch spoke clearly and without long-windedly, and was very quick to do things, and he was very informed when making suggestions. No wonder he was deeply trusted by Fu.
When Fu heard this, she stood up with her sleeves and said, "Everyone has dispersed, each of them has their own responsibilities."
Sent to the queen.Some of the people in front and behind, some bowed their knees and bowed, and bowed one after another.
Cao Tai followed the queen cleverly and entered a side hall behind her.Then the queen shut down everyone.
She glanced at Cao Tai and said: You are too eye-catching, so I'd better ask Wang Jinzhong to go and see Brother Shao.
Look.Cao Tai hurriedly bowed and said, "Wang Jinzhong saw Guo Shao, what should he say?"Please give me instructions.
So Fu family called Cao Tai over and said a few words softly.
The old eunuch took the order and left. While sending someone to call the eunuch Wang Jinzhong, he picked up his pen and wrote a letter with a lacquer seal.When Wang Jinzhong came over, Cao Tai ordered him to deliver the letter in person.
……
The meaning of letters is simple and domineering, and there is no room for bargaining.
Guo Shao was not allowed to marry Jing Niang as his wife, and he was not allowed to marry him in the past one or two years, until the queen felt that the time was right, she would make arrangements.
There is no seal, and I don’t know whose handwriting is. Anyway, after careful reading, it doesn’t look like it was written by a woman. It shouldn’t be a letter written by Queen Fu.
Fortunately, Guo Shao had a good memory. Last time the queen gave a house, she sent an eunuch to identify the place. The eunuch had a fat and round face. This time he was the one who sent the letter.
It can be confirmed that this letter was sent by the people around the queen... and it seems that the eunuchs dare not, and there is no need to forge such things to fool an imperial guard general.
Guo Shao looked at the tone above and said that it was completely the order of his superiors or elders. The elders felt more because he even cared about his family’s marriage.
At first, he felt a little resistant, but after thinking about it, he accepted it.
I have no foundation in these Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, no backing, and even my parents and relatives.
He was confused and was attracted by the talisman.
This is also a coincidence, the opportunity planted by that young man in the past with his life.
If there was no such mysterious opportunity, it is hard to say what it would be like now.
The most likely to be promoted to the top of the general who is one hundred people due to their merits.
Then slowly endure military merit and experience countless battles in ten years. It depends on the luck and opportunities, and whether you can’t die every time. Then you have a certain opportunity to be a middle- and senior general... If you continue to do this, you will still dare to think about what kind of ambitions are unwilling to be with Zhao Kuangyi and others in the future?
It would be fine if I could not die.
Because at that time, even if he shot Zhang Yuanhui with one arrow and made some contributions, he would not be famous or even promising without Zhang Yongde in front of the official family. He could not even be sure that he was the general of the Northern Han Dynasty whom he shot to death. At that time, the infantry camp of Xiaodi Army where he was located was completely collapsed, and the commander of the upper peak was dead, and no one asked for contributions.
Why Zhang Yongde specifically spoke for himself is obviously because of the queen's face. The queen was respected by the generals... and Xiang Xun's appreciation of Guo Shao may be for some other reasons: Guo Shao is a person who both knew Zhang Yongde, the highest military general of the Imperial Army and the son-in-law of the Prince Consort.
Guo Shao has figured it out: one person can make a name for himself, that is Queen Fu.
Isn’t it a good thing for the Queen to take care of herself now?!
But he was puzzled, no matter what, he was in charge of his marriage... Could it be that the queen wanted to find someone for herself?
It would be fine if this is the case. Just ask the candidates you find should not be too ugly. Anyway, it is a marriage, and Guo Shao did not intend to pick and choose.
He had more doubts in his heart. What the young man did was just not running away in times of danger and went to die. Do people like the extremely noble Fu family need to remember so long and repay them again and again?
Cao Tai threw the whisk to his arms, freed up his hand and said: You are the prime minister, of course you recommend whoever you want.
The two bid farewell after a moment. From a distance, it was like two acquaintances met by chance in the imperial city and just greeted and socialized a few words.
