In the back hall of Jinxiang Hall, Fu Jinzhan looked at her second sister with a smile and said: Don’t worry, I will summon Li Yu and his wife and envoys of the Southern Tang Kingdom in the afternoon, and Guo Shao and several ministers will come.He came to the imperial city and took you back just by the way.
Who is anxious?Fu Ermei's cheeks turned slightly red, and she didn't have a long separation. This time her husband went on a war.
Jinzhan smiled and said: Do you still have the habit of living in the palace?I'll treat you badly?
Fu Ermei was excited in her two clear eyes. She turned to look back at the spacious, comfortable and magnificent palace and nodded: I haven’t transferred the imperial city for a month. It’s so big!Perhaps as big as the entire Daming City?I usually can't wander around Daming City; but I can walk around in the imperial city, and every place is different. It's a great place to live here.
Everyone who has just entered the palace thinks that the palace is a good place.Jinzhan sighed softly, but what if you were asked to live here for ten or eight years?It’s been fine for ten or eight years. Some old women in the cold palace in the north have been here for most of their lives.
Fu Ermei felt that her tone was a little sad, so she hurriedly said, "I'll come to the palace to accompany my elder sister if I have nothing to do, we'll be the same as at home."My elder sister won't find it boring.
Jinzhan stopped the tone just now and smiled again: That's good. If you want to see me, ask someone to say to the eunuch and I'll send someone to pick you up.
Fu Ermei immediately threw away some of the sadness she had just now, nodded vigorously, and returned to her happy look.Jinzhan felt that the second sister was really happy from the bottom of her heart, and she was a little envious.
Meeting the minister?Fu Ermei's bright eyes rolled.
Seeing this, Jinzhan knew that she had some fun again... It was a while ago, because Fu Ermei was worried about Guo Shao's war and was in a little depressed, so she was more regular; now Guo Shao has come back without any damage and has made great contributions. She has no worries and is happy all day long.
Sure enough, she said curiously: How does it feel to give orders when the eldest sister is the queen mother?
Jinzhan smiled and said: Just think about it.
Fu Ermei walked in front of her for a few steps, pondered for a while, then turned around and said seriously: Here comes someone, pull Li Chongjin out and chop it up. See if he dares to rebel!After saying that, he covered his mouth and burst into laughter.
Jinzhan smiled and said: You are really a little imposing, but don’t say the last sentence.Because you have great power, you don’t have to explain to others what you do, just issuing an order.
Fu Ermei smiled and bent down: Am I doing a good job?
Jinzhang nodded and said yes.Fu Ermei thought for a while: Why don’t I try to wear my elder sister’s clothes behind the curtain when I meet the minister in the afternoon.
But it's not possible. This time, unlike the last time I deceived those palace ladies, there were ministers and envoys from the Southern Tang Dynasty in the afternoon, and they were talking about major national affairs.If someone discovers it, wouldn’t we be criticized and treat national affairs as a joke?Jinzhang said casually.
Fu Ermei said with a disappointed look: It’s boring to bully those palace maids and eunuchs, it’s just that it’s interesting to pass the test in front of the ministers!
Jinzhan pondered endlessly, remembering the scene when she and her second sister changed clothes last time, her cheeks turned slightly red, and she felt an unspeakable desire to move in her heart.
Jinzhan is not born serious and steady. She has experienced it, but she is not a strict and old-fashioned person in her heart. They are not like their mother Zhang.
Sister, yesterday a palace maid admitted me wrongly at the door of Wansui Palace. She knelt on the ground and shivered in fear.Fu Ermei whispered, ...If someone noticed it, then he wouldn't dare to say it?
After hearing this, Jinzhan raised her eyebrows slightly and was reminded: she was right next to Fu Ermei. Even if someone found something strange, she would not dare to take the risk of questioning... It seemed that she would not have to bear too serious consequences.
Since Fu Ermei is so interested in being the queen mother, maybe she will be happy once and there will be another time.
Jinzhan felt thumping in her heart after thinking about it, and was tempted by something simple and tempting.
Then, as stated by Guodu Inspection.Fu Jinzhan suddenly said in a soothing rhythm, turned to look at Fu Ermei, learn it once.
Fu Ermei imitated it as she said.
After listening carefully, Jinzhan corrected some subtleties and said, "If you are inside the curtain, you can only see a rough look outside, and no one can see clearly."The main thing is the voice and tone... You can't say much. Even if you say something often, you can't speak without opening your mouth. You can look at the eunuch Cao Tai outside the curtain. He knows what to do.And what Guo Shao said, you just give the order as he said; he usually won’t say the wrong thing in such occasions, and must consider it carefully.
Jinzhan said a few more words to say often, and asked Fu Ermei to imitate it repeatedly.
Fu Ermei said: Can those people around her see?Do you want to tell them first?
Fu Jinzhan said: No need, the eunuchs close to me are mainly those who are Cao Tai, Mu Shang Palace and Northern Colored Monk.It doesn't matter if they see it, they will definitely not say it.There is no need to tell them that since I am by your side, they should be tactful and will treat it as nothing happened... Besides, even if they are close servants, no one can stare at me according to etiquette. If I dress you up, they may not see it once or twice. Didn’t anyone notice it last time?
……
If Li Yu from the ritual hall knew that the Zhou Dynasty royal family was playing with his major affairs as a joke, they would probably be so angry that they vomited blood.
Could it be that the Zhou Dynasty suddenly met this time to send me to the envoy sent by Jinling?Li Yu was already dressed neatly, but he didn't set off and walked back and forth in the room.
Seeing his panic, Zhou Xian felt unsure and then fell into a panic.
When Li Yu was anxious, his eyes were still on Zhou Xian's face, as if he was observing her reaction.
Zhou Xian sat there with all kinds of emotions, and felt uncomfortable all over.
Just then, Li Yu asked: Didn’t you say that there was someone in the Zhou family who served as an official under Guo Shao?Did he convince Guo Shao?
The man was named Zhou Duan, and I had sent someone to deliver the letter.He replied that he had met Guo Shao more than a month ago.Zhou Xian said softly, Husband, I don’t think Guo Shao is like a person who is untrustworthy, he should help you.Even if something goes wrong, he will not interfere.
Li Yu was helpless and saw that noon had passed, so he said: I can only see the Empress Dowager first, and I can't go too late.
...Li Yu and his wife were taken to a palace on the west side of the main hall of Jinxiang Hall, and the Empress Dowager made a special trip to summon people from the Southern Tang Kingdom to deal with the matter.
This is not the main hall, and only a few people were summoned. The Political Affairs Hall was originally in the imperial city, and the four prime ministers came not far away; the same was true for the two Privy Councilors.
Because it was a diplomatic matter, Guo Shao was the only general involved.
Zhou Xian followed Li Yu into the palace, wearing a curtain on his head and covering his face.
Even so, several ministers also looked at each other. Some people pretended not to look at each other, but they still looked at Zhou Xian quietly, and instead were a little indifferent to Li Yu.
(The ministers have been here for a while and have just discussed it in front of the Empress Dowager; now the Empress Dowager has temporarily left the seat, waiting for the arrival of the people from the Southern Tang Kingdom.)
After Zhou Xian entered the palace, he looked at the officials' dress and his eyes swept over Guo Shao's body, and his face became hot.
Finally, she focused on the civil servant behind... that person should be the envoy of the Southern Tang Kingdom, but Zhou Xian didn't know anyone he had never seen in Jinling.
Not long after, the Empress Dowager Zhou Dynasty sat back on the collapse behind the thin curtain.Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted: "Kow to the Queen Mother."
The person above said in a gentle and rhythmic tone: Flat body.
Thank you.Everyone then got up and stood respectfully on both sides.
Zhou Xian felt a little emotional when he saw this scene.
She was originally a person who was not interested in power, but now she felt that power also had its benefits, at least she could maintain her dignity and face without worrying about being forced; sometimes she could do whatever she wanted... If she was as powerful as the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou, why would her destiny be in the hands of others and fall into this place?
The woman above said nothing.
At this moment, the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty bowed and said: Our country's lord respects the power of the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou and is full of respect. He awaits the imperial edict of the Great Zhou every day and asks the Empress Dowager to be kind.
The Queen Mother still didn't speak.
Guo Shao went out to worship: I would like to think twice.The king of the Southern Tang Kingdom (Li Jing) praised the late emperor and relieved his past grudges. The king of the Southern Tang Kingdom was nominally a vassal of our Great Zhou vassal; the king of the Southern Tang Kingdom had no fault after he claimed his vassal.Now that Li Hongji's mutiny has taken over the position of the king, he is actually an unfaithful person; how can our Zhou Shangbang ignore the great righteousness for a little profit?
He turned around and said to the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty: Go back and tell the ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty that you will still welcome Li Jing as the king of the country to make the great righteousness.Li Hongji seized the throne, and his position was absolutely illegal without the permission of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
The Empress Dowager... The envoy was busy looking upwards.
The person above said slowly without any emotional fluctuations: As Guo Du inspector said.
Guo Shao immediately looked angry and pointed at the envoy and said: All the ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty are mainly rebellious, which is like a rebellion!If you are no longer in Li Jing's position, I will ask for an order to lead a large army to the forefront in the future, so that you will regret it!
The envoy looked pale and hurriedly said: Our Lord wants to contribute one and two million tuitions...
The prime ministers immediately whispered a few words.
At this time, Guo Shao said annoyedly: Li Jing still has to pay after the restoration of the throne. If he doesn’t give it, we will lead troops across the Yangtze River to get it ourselves!Do you still dare to pay for your debt?
Zhou Xian just felt that Guo Shao was polite and honest, and when he heard this, he felt arrogant and unreasonable... Li Jing did not agree to pay the money, but Guo Shao insisted on someone to restore the throne before giving tribute.
However, this is not uncommon. The Zhou Dynasty was originally such a country. No matter how much the Southern Tang Dynasty fought, no one would think of getting benefits from the Zhou Dynasty for nothing.
The envoy wanted to speak again, but Guo Shao shouted: The Empress Dowager has issued an order. If he does not obey the order, Li Chongjin and Li Jixun will be your fate!
Seeing that he was angry, Zhou Xian didn't feel terrible, but instead felt that he was very straightforward.
Zhou Xian breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't suppress his affection for Guo Shao.
She knew something was wrong and thought to herself: But there is really nothing to do. Such a person who makes people feel very powerful, a weak woman like me will always admire her a little.
Who is anxious?Fu Ermei's cheeks turned slightly red, and she didn't have a long separation. This time her husband went on a war.
Jinzhan smiled and said: Do you still have the habit of living in the palace?I'll treat you badly?
Fu Ermei was excited in her two clear eyes. She turned to look back at the spacious, comfortable and magnificent palace and nodded: I haven’t transferred the imperial city for a month.
