Chapter 260: Rule from the curtain

5days ago traverse Novels 2
Three days after the national mourning, Tokyo officials will remove mourning clothes and put on official robes to restore order. There is no need to hold funerals in the market, but wedding events, banquets, singing and dancing are still prohibited for one month.

The Empress Dowager and the Little Emperor have to wear mourning clothes for another month.

The sunshine after the rain shone into Jinxiang Hall, and Fu Jinzhan came to the side hall next to the main hall in white.

Today is not a day for a great dynasty, so you don’t have to go to court, you just need to follow the government.

(It is agreed that the meeting will still be held on the first and fifteenth day of each month, and all civil and military officials can see the new king on such a day.)

The chair that Fu Jinzhan sat down, Taizu and the late emperor both sat here for a long time and racked their brains to do their best; now they have changed to a softer cushion and then changed to a person.

The national affairs carried out by the two generations of emperors back then were awe-inspiring, and Fu Jinzhan became a little nervous here.

There are many officials in front of the hall, mainly officials who take turns to serve on duty in the Zhengshi Hall and the Hanlin Academy... Jinxiang Hall did not belong to the harem, but was a place where many imperial officials went straight.

They want to act as consultants for the ruling people here, write imperial edicts, etc.

So a curtain was drawn in front of the area where the Fu Jinzhan was moving, separated from the officials to show that there was a difference between men and women.

This is to rule the country from behind the curtain, and the empress dowagers of the Eastern Han Dynasty did it.

However, after Fu Jinzhan read more than ten points of the memorial in one breath, she felt that this matter was very relaxed, and suddenly she didn't understand why the previous emperors looked frowning and looked amazing?

Soon Fu Jinzhan was no longer nervous and was very light to deal with.

She has a good memory, almost unforgettable, and has a very quick mind.

Pick up the article and look at it at a glance, which is very casual. Just like reading casual books, you can quickly understand the main content of a piece of stuff; usually you read twenty pieces at a time, and then you can remember the content you have read, which can compare the importance of it.

Gradually she relaxed even more because she could see what the memorials from both inside and outside at a glance were actually saying, so she would slow down from time to time to look at literary talent, calligraphy, etc., and make her feel diligent.

Some officials read a few more books and wanted to hang their book bags, quoting long nonsense from classics. It would be fine if they could talk nonsense and say something real; some of them wrote a lot of things about ancient sages, and then their own words were only a little bit like a little finger, which made Fu Jinzhan very annoyed... She couldn't help but imagine what kind of person the Guaner who wrote these articles must be a sloppy, sour and smelly pedantic old man!

Some people also talk nonsense all over the world, but their literary talent is elegant and catchy, and they are quite comfortable to read... Like Jia Yi of the Han Dynasty, he can truly write articles in a literary and elegant manner. No matter what the content is, they are still very beautiful.

Fu Jinzhan sometimes frowned and sometimes smiled slightly, and every expression made the eunuchs serving beside her admire him.

Such a fairy-like woman suddenly made the whole world seem to have a little more colorful colors in this majestic room.

There were a lot of memorials on the table, and Fu Jinzhan read more than half of them in half a day.During this period, she was also distracted and did some trivial matters.

Alas... Fu Jinzhan exhaled gently, stretched unscrupulously, and turned around and said, "It's really tiring."

Cao Tai and others were stunned, looking at her achievements all morning, bent down and admired her.

At this time, she picked up the red pen, took a piece of white paper and wrote a line of words. She turned around and pointed at the fat eunuch Wang Zhong: Wang Zhong, take all the piles of people here to the Political Affairs Hall, and ask the prime ministers to take care of it at will, so there is no need to ask me again.

Wang Zhong looked flattered and hurried forward: Yes, yes... I am obeying the Queen Mother's decree.

Are you afraid?Fu Jinzhan looked at him with a smile.

Wang Zhong hurriedly said: When I go back to the Queen Mother, I am not afraid, but respectful.

Fu Jinzhan smiled and said: Even if you are a little better, I remember it in my heart, so don’t be afraid.

Wang Zhong knelt on the ground: The Empress Dowager is kind and wise!

She waved her sleeve lightly, pointed to another small part and said: I'll send these to you in person in the afternoon... Here is the decree written by the officials for me. Yang Shiliang, please use the jade seal to stamp it and take it outside.

Look.Yang Shiliang also quickly bowed.

When will it be?Fu Jinzhan asked.

Cao Tai replied: Go back to the Queen Mother, you have not yet ringed the clock at noon. It should be almost noon when you look at the sun.

I went to the back hall for a meal, and then went back to Wansui Hall to take a nap.Fu Jinzhan said, Cao Tai, go and ask someone to prepare.

She stood up from the chair and said to the curtain: Ministers, you can go back for lunch and come again in the afternoon.

Everyone's voices came from outside quickly: I'm waiting for the Empress Dowager to thank me for your kindness.

Since meeting General Guo a few days ago, Fu Jinzhan's face has been rosy and smooth, her complexion is very good, and she has become more gentle.

She ate a lot at noon and was really hungry. She worked hard all day in the morning. Although she didn't find it difficult, it was tiring to read memorials for a long time.

Nowadays, people go to bed early and get up early, get up before dawn, and the longest time in the morning.

After lunch, Fu Jinzhan sat in a sedan chair in front and behind and entered Xuanyou Gate.

When I arrived at the palace gate, I saw soldiers outside and eunuchs and palace maids inside kneeling on both sides along the road.

Fu Jinzhan sat on the sedan chair covered by the curtain and ignored them. Anyway, they would not continue to kneel stupidly after walking.

She closed her eyes and was thinking about things.

In this world, the so-called national affairs handled in the temple are of limited importance... At that time, Taizu and the late emperor did not focus their main energy on governing the government, and paid the most attention to the candidates for ministers in the court.

At this time, the most important thing is military!

Ten Kingdoms in the world No emperor of any country does not put military priority.

That thing can destroy the country at any time. The threat from foreign enemies and the arrogant and powerful internal soldiers are the most threatening factors... Even if the government is abandoned, it will take at least ten years to make a comeback?

But it takes less than ten years to destroy a country with military violence, and it may take a few months; which is more important and what is urgent is clear at a glance.

The biggest problem Fu Jinzhan faces at the moment is also the army's inheritance of the past and future.

The civil servants and government affairs were very easy and smooth. From the prime minister to the officials of various government offices, whoever is in power has long been used to the exchanges of the people who are superior, and who is still full and cares about who becomes the emperor?

But the transformation of the imperial guards and local towns is very difficult.

According to the experience of Taizu and the late emperor ascending the throne, it is generally necessary to re-reward the external town on a large scale and directly issue an edict to move the town.

As long as the town is moved, it means loyalty to the new king. Disobedience is a rebellion, and the troops are dispatched to destroy it (the Fu family has moved the town several times).

But Fu Jinzhan has no control over the imperial guards now and dares not do that... So there will be a period of time that they will remain stable according to the previous pattern.

Fu Jinzhan needs to do it step by step. The first thing she does is to eliminate Zhao Kuangyin's power in the Iron Cavalry Army, otherwise the most elite troops of the Iron Cavalry Army would be unreliable.

She could not disband the Iron Cavalry Army, so first of all, we must figure out who is closely related to Zhao Kuangyin... Generals of a level are easy to investigate, and everyone in the Imperial Army knows the matter between generals; the key is that the commander and those below are not easy to figure out.

Fu Jinzhan thought about it for a long time, but in the end she coincided with Guo Shao's idea of ​​dealing with Li Chongjin's forces in the Guards Division.

The crowd had already reached the steps of Wansui Hall. Fu Jinzhan held a palace woman's hand from the sedan chair, then slowly walked up the stone steps, and suddenly turned around.

Everyone stopped immediately and stood in the middle of the way.

She waved her hand, and everyone hurriedly retreated for a while, and she said again: Cao Tai, come here.

Queen Mother.Cao Tai quickly stepped forward and stood beside Fu Jinzhan with a whisk in his arms.

Fu Jinzhan whispered: Take my handwriting and go to the Privy Council to find Wang Pu.He asked him to bring the old file of the Palace Front Office to the Privy Council... He would like to remind him specifically not to use my name, but only the military orders of the Privy Council.

Cao Tai hurriedly said: Look.

After saying that, she quickly entered a bedroom in Wansui Hall.

This is a complex of buildings with many palaces; Fu Jinzhan asked the little emperor to live in the main palace of Taizu and the former emperor, and he chose a palace next to the main hall to live in.

The Zide Hall where Fu Jinzhan used to live was far away in the harem; while the Wansui Hall was very close to Xuanyou Gate and the front of the imperial city, which made it easier for her to go out to manage politics, so she moved to the place.

The palaces and houses here are larger and magnificent than the temples in the harem, but they lack flowers, plants and beautiful decorations, making them look more monotonous.

Fu Jinzhan sat on a collapsed wall for a while, looking at the empty bedroom, feeling bored and tired, and said immediately: I want to take a shower and change my clothes!

The slave family immediately asked people to prepare for the Queen Mother.Mu Shanggong hurriedly responded.

There was no surprise at all. It was natural for the Queen Mother to take a shower and change clothes in the morning, noon, or even in the middle of the night, and should be satisfied immediately.

Fu Jinzhan has discovered one of the benefits of the emperor's bedroom, that is, the bathroom is bigger and more luxurious, which is simply the only place she is happy about.

The emperors were not afraid of wasting. Fu Jinzhan did not have to stay in a small bathtub like before, but in a pool!

Dozens of large pots bathe and boil water for a person at the same time, and then pour the pool with warm water, just like an artificial hot spring.During this period, you will also add boiling water to keep it warm according to experience.

The room is filled with white mist and very warm.Fu Jinzhan lay on the soft cushion by the pool and instructed the palace maid who was specially serving her to bathe: Rub your waist.I had known that I would not be in a hurry, but after sitting for too long, my waist was sore.

The palace maid's fingers were very smooth but very strong.Fu Jinzhan enjoyed it very much, her face was red and she seemed to be asleep.

She returned to her previous life, and whenever this was the most enjoyable moment, she could completely relax, or be drowsy, or think about it and let her thoughts fly into those beautiful and expectant dreams... People can only see what others have done and heard what they said, but who knows what she has thought?
